Describe the problems associated with the use of classification systems in jails
What will be an ideal response?
• First, there is often little information available for jail inmates. Jail social service staff members interview inmates to collect information, but usually do not have time to confirm the accuracy of the information. Second, the short stay complicates the process for most inmates, and there is no time for thorough medical or psychological assessments that could aid in the classification process. Finally, Brennan notes that jail classification has "suffered from benign neglect," in that jail administrators have "not accorded classification a central role in management."
