The Options available are: A. jailer B. parole officer C. warden D. detention officer

Answer:

C. Warden

Explanation:

Wardens, often referred to as Prison Wardens are the individuals employed to manage and act as administrator to prison or correctional facility. Their main responsibilities involves, day to day activities, adhering to the necessary laws, rules and regulations applicable, overseeing financial operations, securing the safety of the facilities and other staff, and also the well being of the prisoners.

It is not option A which Jailer, as Jailer's responsibility only involves jailing of prisoners. S/he is often referred to as Prison guard.

It is not option B which is Parole Officer, as Parole Officer's role is to monitor or work with the ex prisoners or those that are in sanctions of community service, but not actual prison.

It is not option D, which is Detention Officer, as Detention Officer's role is to oversee the safe imprisonments of prisoners, which often involves stopping of fighting and attacks among inmates, as well against prison staff.

Hence, the correct answer is Warden.
