USM-18 is the form for which documentation?

• A. Prisoner Property Receipt
• B. Medical Records Release
• C. Custody Alert Notice
• D. Prisoner Biographic/Personal Info

Answer: (A)

USM-18 is the form used to document a prisoner's property — a Prisoner Property Receipt that itemizes and tracks the inmate’s belongings during processing, transport, and custody. Completing it creates a clear paper trail so items surrendered or retrieved can be reconciled when the inmate is moved or released, protecting both the inmate and the agency from loss or disputes. The other options serve different purposes: a medical records release authorizes sharing health information; a custody alert notice communicates custody-related flags or restrictions; and a prisoner biographic/personal info form collects identifying details rather than listing property.
