Chapter 6 – Adult Classification

61020.19 Instructions for Completing the CDC Form 840

• General

  • The CDC Form 840 shall be completed as part of the regular reclassification process. It is intended to provide a cumulative record of the inmate’s institutional adjustment and changes in case factors. A CDC Form 840 shall also be completed upon the return of an escapee or receipt of a Community Correctional Reentry Center (CCRCCommunity Correctional Reentry Centers) failure.

  • Begin the CDC Form 840 review process by locating the most recent score sheet. Note the Preliminary Score (on the CDC Form 839) or most current New Preliminary Score (on the CDC Form 840/841), any special case factors, and the dates of the last review period.

  • An inmate whose parole is revoked because he/she refused to sign conditions of parole shall be re-scored on a CDC Form 841, Readmission Score Sheet, not on a CDC Form 840. On the CDC Form 840, box numbers appear to the right, but refer to the first box on the left of each field.
