NOTE* Another question may be very similar, but it will not be the same as this one. The information will not say there was
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
a power outage. It will just say "the inmates were not fed and haven't drank anything in 12 hours". If you see a question on

the state test like that, then your answer will be (B) "Procedural rights were violated". Look for the difference. Read the

question. Use your own judgment if the question isn't exactly what study guides and other flashcard decks say. It should be
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
relatively obvious. When in doubt, use common sense.
