What is administrative segregation? Which inmates would be classified under administrative segregation?

What will be an ideal response?


Administrative segregation is a type of classification that is nonpunitive in nature but requires the separation of inmates from the general population due to the threat that they may pose to themselves, staff, other inmates, or institutional order. Classification officials may cite a number of reasons for imposing this custody level on an offender. One of the most common reasons is membership in a prison gang. Thus, many administrative segregation programs consist of a large number of gang members.
