Which of the following is NOT considered a minor infraction according to TCJS?

In the context of the Texas Commission on Jail Standards (TCJS), minor infractions typically include behaviors that do not pose a significant threat to the safety or security of the jail environment. Excessive talking, while it may disrupt the daily operations or the environment, is generally treated as a behavioral issue rather than a serious infraction. It does not affect the integrity of the jail's security measures or the safety of inmates and staff.

On the other hand, actions such as being insolent, refusing to clean or work, and tattooing (whether of oneself or others) are often categorized as more serious violations because they can disrupt order, indicate defiance against facility rules, or potentially pose health and safety risks in a communal living situation. Thus, excessive talking is not considered a minor infraction under TCJS guidelines compared to the other behaviors listed.
