Which document defines that use of force must be reasonably necessary to gain control in correctional settings?

• A. 3 Parts of Disturbance Resolution Model
• B. Wisconsin Administrative Code 350.22
• C. Section 940.29
• D. Hudson v. McMillian

Answer: (B)

In correctional settings, the rule that force used to gain control must be reasonably necessary comes from the Wisconsin Administrative Code 350.22. This code sets the standards for how corrections staff may use force, emphasizing that any force employed to regain or maintain control must be justified by necessity, proportionate to the situation, and used only after de-escalation attempts when possible. It also covers related procedures like reporting, medical evaluation, and training, tying the use of force to safety and accountability.

The other options don’t establish that specific Wisconsin correctional standard: a disturbance resolution model is a training framework, not a binding code; Section 940.29 is a general statute on use of force in different contexts and not the correctional standard; and Hudson v. McMillian is a court decision about excessive force under constitutional analysis, not a state code that defines the required standard for corrections.
