Section 3272 - Custody Classification

The classification committee at each institution must assign a custodial classification to each incarcerated person, in accordance with the custodial classifications prescribed by the department. The senior custodial officer on duty may temporarily increase the custodial classification of an incarcerated person at any time they believes such action is necessary to protect the security and good order of the institution. Such action is subject to classification committee review at the next regular meeting. Any reduction of an incarcerated person's custody classification must be by classification committee action.
