Chapter 6 – Adult Classification

62080.9.3 Category “J” SHU Placement

• When a Category “J” or “K” inmate is found guilty of a rule infraction requiring a SHUSecurity Housing Unit term be established, the Institution Classification Committee shall determine whether the act was likely a result of a developmental disability or a mental condition or if continued supportive milieu housing is necessary.

• If it is determined that the inmate’s disability or mental condition makes SHUSecurity Housing Unit programming impractical, the term shall be suspended or commuted and the inmate retained or transferred to the appropriate institution.

• If it is determined that a male inmate continues to need supportive care, an evaluation for the Psychiatric Services Unit housing shall be recommended and/or completed by CMFCalifornia Medical Facility staff. (Refer to DOMDepartment Operations Manual 62050.1.2.) If it is determined that supportive housing is no longer required, the inmate shall be recommended for Category “U”, the SHUSecurity Housing Unit term assessed, and an appropriate SHUSecurity Housing Unit program recommended or the term suspended or commuted and an institution and alternate recommended to the CSRClassification Staff Representative.
