(1) An inmate's
custody classification level will be reviewed when new information is received
that affects a classification scoring policy element or when an inmate's
Violence Predictor Score has expired.
(2) Custody Classification Levels 1-4: When
new information is received that affects the inmate's custody classification
level, the inmate's assigned counselor will review the classification action
for accuracy and forward it to the functional unit manager for approval.
(a) No classification action is official
until the functional unit manager or designee approves the classification
action.
(b) Final approval for any
override of one step will be made at the institutional level and shall be
documented on the classification override comment screen describing the
override reason.
(c) Overrides of
more than a single step are not official until approved by the designated
institution committee and the Classification Manager or designee.
(d) An inmate may request a copy of his/her
official classification action.
(e) All official classification actions are
historically recorded and maintained in the CIS.
(f) The Office of Population Management may
modify any classification action. In such cases, the affected facility will be
formally notified of the reason(s) for the modification.
(g) Counselors may opt to review inmates with
ICE detainers for override to Level 2 for placement or retention in a minimum
facility.
(3) Custody
Classification Level 5:
(a) When an inmate's
institutional behavior is determined to create serious management concerns, the
classification action will be reviewed by the designated institution committee
and forwarded to the Special Population Management (SPM) Committee for review.
If the SPM committee approves an inmate's classification at Level 5, the Office
of Population Management will add an IMU5 designator and generate a new
classification, which will be scored as custody classification Level 5.
(b) Once an inmate is assigned to
custody classification Level 5, the automated classification program will
maintain the inmate's Level 5 custody classification status until the IMU5
designator is removed, an IMUR designator is added, and a new classification is
generated. The new classification will be scored at custody classification
Level 4 for one year.
