Discuss the different types of classification and how they affect institutional security?
What will be an ideal response?
Classification of inmates is an important consideration for institutional security. Classification may be both internal and external. External classification determines the level of security and control needed for the incoming prison population. Internal classification determines the cell or housing unit where inmates will be housed, as well as facility programs to which inmates will be assigned. Proper classification balances the security needs of the institution with the treatment needs of the individual. It is appropriate to evaluate the needs of the inmate so they can be placed in the proper institution. Effective classification can reduce prison infractions and create a safer environment for both inmates and staff.
