Describe the classification process in state prisons
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary but should define the classification process in general as well as the specific initial classification process which determines the institution to which an inmate will be assigned.
The factors used to make classification decisions, such as offense category, escape potential, substance-abuse patterns, and prior experience with the criminal justice system should be reviewed and reclassification should be discussed. Answers should also include a discussion of the tendency to make assignments based on institutional needs rather than inmate needs or preferences.
