Granting a "One Time" favor is not an example of an inmate Con Game.

• A. True
• B. Not sure
• C. Both true and false
• D. False

Answer: (D)

The key idea is that inmate con games often rely on reciprocity—even a single, seemingly harmless favor can plant an obligation that the inmate then tries to exploit. Granting a one-time favor can establish trust and create a sense of indebtedness, which the inmate can use to press for more concessions or to test boundaries in the future. In this way, that small act becomes a tool in manipulation, not a harmless gesture. So the statement is false because such a one-time favor can indeed be part of an inmate’s manipulation strategy. Maintain consistent boundaries and document interactions to avoid inadvertently reinforcing that leverage.
