Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
					 Each administrator of a temporary holding, Type I, II, or III facility shall
					 develop and implement a written classification plan designed to properly assign
					 incarcerated persons to housing units and activities according to the
					 categories of gender identity, age, criminal sophistication, seriousness of
					 crime charged, physical or mental health needs, assaultive/non-assaultive
					 behavior, risk of being sexually abused or sexually harassed, and other
					 criteria which will provide for the safety of the incarcerated people and
					 staff. Such housing unit assignment shall be accomplished to the extent
					 possible within the limits of the available number of distinct housing units or
					 cells in a facility.
The written classification plan shall be based on
						objective criteria and include receiving screening performed at the time of
						intake by trained personnel, and a record of each person's classification
						level, housing restrictions, and housing assignments.
Each administrator of a Type II or III facility shall
						establish and implement a classification system which will include the use of
						classification officers or a classification committee in order to properly
						assign incarcerated persons to housing, work, rehabilitation programs, and
						leisure activities. Such a plan shall include the use of as much information as
						is available about and from the incarcerated person and shall provide for a
						channel of appeal by the incarcerated person to the facility administrator or
						designee. Each person may request a review of their classification plan no more
						often than 30 days from their last review.
(b) Each administrator of a court holding
					 facility shall establish and implement a written plan designed to provide for
					 the safety of staff and people held and housed at the facility. The plan shall
					 include receiving and transmitting of information regarding incarcerated
					 persons who represent unusual risk or hazard while confined at the facility,
					 and the separation of such persons to the extent possible within the limits of
					 the court holding facility.
(c) In
					 deciding housing and programming assignments, the agency shall consider on a
					 case-by-case basis whether a placement would ensure the health and safety of
					 the incarcerated person, and whether the placement would present management or
					 security problems. A person's own views with respect to their own safety shall
					 be given serious consideration.
