Chapter 5 – Adult Custody and Security Operations

54055.3 Definitions

• Integrated Housing

  • Integrated Housing refers to the housing of inmates into beds without using race as the sole determinative criterion while minimizing any potential impact upon an inmate’s safety, and maintaining the safety and security of the public, staff, and institutions.

• Integrated Housing Code

  • The Integrated Housing Code (IHC) is a housing code that reflects the inmate’s eligibility to be racially integrated in a housing environment. The inmate may be eligible to be housed with all races, with only certain races, or with only his own race based on individual case factors. The IHC will be assigned during the reception center intake process and is subject to review by a classification committee.
