They remain housed in the Adjustment Center. The classification process should be completed within thirty days after the prisoner arrives in the condemned unit. The decision to classify a prisoner as being Grade A or Grade B is clearly an important one. Grade A prisoners have rights and privileges similar to the general population. Grade B prisoners are retained in segregation and subject to severe restrictions.
Classification is reviewed throughout a prisoner's incarceration.
Grade A prisoners may be reclassified Grade B as a result of a serious rule violation or allegations of membership in a prison gang. A prisoner may be reclassified immediately in an emergency situation. Grade B prisoners will have their classification reviewed every 90 days. Classification decisions are left to the sound discretion of prison staff, but may not be exercised in an arbitrary or capricious manner. The decision may be based upon the prisoner's entire history, but the greater weight is to be assigned to institutional adjustment and behavior.
