One of the best known internal classification systems in use today's prisons is the adult internal management system (AIMS). AIMS assess an inmate's predatory potential by quantifying three aspects of the inmate's history

List and define those three aspects and explain how effective or ineffective you feel they are.


AIMS was developed more than 20 years ago to reduce institutional predatory behavior by identifying potential predators and separating them from vulnerable inmates. AIMS assesses an inmate's predatory potential by quantifying aspects of his or her 1) record of misconduct, 2) ability to follow staff directions, and 3) level of aggression toward other inmates.
