Chapter 6 – Adult Classification

61020.15 CSR Review for Placement or Transfer Endorsement

• Cases submitted to a CSRClassification Staff Representative for transfer consideration must have a new CDC Form 840. Each inmate transferred will have a current Placement Score, so the receiving institution does not need to do a review until the appropriate period of time has lapsed.

• Whenever a case is presented to a CSRClassification Staff Representative or authorized staff for placement or transfer endorsement, an updated CDC Form 840 shall be provided in the C-file with the CDC Form 128-G, which makes the referral.

• An updated CDC Form 840 is not required for the CSRClassification Staff Representative approval of the following temporary placements:

  • Placement in an ASU Hub.

  • Placement in a Mental Health Crisis Bed.

  • Medical and Return Transfers.

  • Approval of an ASU Extension.

• After the CSRClassification Staff Representative’s review and completion of the Classification Staff Representative section, detach and distribute one copy each to the inmate and Information Quality Support Section before filing the original in the C-file.

• Resubmittal to CSRClassification Staff Representative

  • When a case is resubmitted to a CSRClassification Staff Representative to appeal the endorsement decision of another, a new CDC Form 840 is required as each submittal is a separate transaction. Distribute the copies of the CDC Form 840, which contain the original CSRClassification Staff Representative action, regardless of the second CSRClassification Staff Representative’s decision. This will close out the first transaction.

  • Do not reassess points for negative or positive behavior from the previous CDC Form 840. Indicate only new information since last review.

• CSRClassification Staff Representative Endorsement

  • A CSRClassification Staff Representative endorsement shall remain effective for 120 days from the date of endorsement.

  • If an inmate is not transferred within 120 days from the date of CSRClassification Staff Representative endorsement, the endorsed case awaiting transfer shall be again presented to a CSRClassification Staff Representative prior to the 121st day for a 120-day extension of the endorsement if there is no change to case factors and the endorsement remains appropriate.

  • Each request for a 120-day extension of an endorsement shall be documented on a CDC Form 128-G and requires confirmation that the CCICalifornia Correctional Institution and the CCII Supervisor audited the central file; updated the CDC Forms 840, 812, 812-C (if applicable); verified that case factors impacting the appropriateness of the CSRClassification Staff Representative endorsement have not changed; and confirmed that the initial CSRClassification Staff Representative endorsement remains appropriate. The CCICalifornia Correctional Institution’s review and CCII Supervisor’s authorization for endorsement extension shall serve as a classification action. The CCICalifornia Correctional Institution and CCII shall sign and date the CDC Form 128-G.

  • The request for a 120-day extension of a CSRClassification Staff Representative endorsement shall not require review by a Unit Classification Committee (UCCUnit Classification Committee) or Institutional Classification Committee (ICCInstitution Classification Committee) unless case factors change or other information is identified which renders the CSRClassification Staff Representative endorsement to be no longer appropriate.

  • An endorsed case awaiting transfer may be extended no more than twice beyond the initial 120-day period.

  • Upon discovery of information that a CSRClassification Staff Representative endorsement is no longer appropriate, the institution shall not allow the transfer to occur. The case shall be referred for UCCUnit Classification Committee or ICCInstitution Classification Committee, as appropriate, to determine appropriate placement. The UCCUnit Classification Committee or ICCInstitution Classification Committee shall substantiate placement recommendation and refer the case for transfer consideration or retention in current placement.
