Which of the following is NOT one of the 3 types of groups in TDCJ?

Recreational groups are not classified as one of the primary types of groups within the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ). The three main categories recognized by TDCJ are Security Threat Groups, Disruptive groups, and Cliques.

Security Threat Groups are formed with the intent to engage in organized crime, pose a threat to safety and security within the facility, or exercise control over inmates and activities. Disruptive groups might disrupt the order and safety of the institution, often involving behaviors that contravene regulations. Cliques usually refer to smaller, informal groups that may form around shared interests or affiliations within the inmate population.

Recreational groups, although they exist in the context of providing inmates with activities for leisure and exercise, do not fit into the formal categorization of threat or disruptive behavior recognized by TDCJ. This distinction highlights the focus on security and order within the correctional system rather than recreational activities.
