54046.9 Classification Review

  • The UCCUnit Classification Committee/ICCInstitution Classification Committee shall review and determine an inmate’s need for single-cell status as part of the Initial and the Annual Classification Review. If upon review a UCCUnit Classification Committee determines the “S” suffix is no longer warranted and an ICCInstitution Classification Committee imposed the “S” suffix, the UCCUnit Classification Committee shall refer the case to ICCInstitution Classification Committee for review and final determination.

  • As it is the expectation all inmates will double cell, the determination of single-cell status shall be documented as part of the ICCInstitution Classification Committee review and updated at the inmate’s annual classification committee review. Prior to referral for transfer or placement consideration, the UCCUnit Classification Committee or ICCInstitution Classification Committee shall determine the inmate’s need for continued single-cell status. A classification committee’s decision regarding involuntary cell assignments or housing status reevaluations shall be documented on a CDC Form 128-G.
