Chapter 6 – Adult Classification

62010.4.3.1.4 Classification Committees

• For the purpose of this Section the following terms are defined:

  • Institution means a large facility or complex of subfacilities with a secure (fenced or walled) perimeter headed by a warden.

  • Facility means a subfacility of an institution headed by a facility captain.

• A facility UCCUnit Classification Committee may complete an “R” suffix evaluation of an inmate. Should a different facility UCCUnit Classification Committee at the same institution disagree with the first UCCUnit Classification Committee’s decision to affix or not to affix the “R” suffix, the committee must refer the case to the ICCInstitution Classification Committee for re-evaluation.

• Should a facility UCCUnit Classification Committee at a receiving institution disagree with a previous institution’s UCCUnit Classification Committee or ICCInstitution Classification Committee “R” suffix evaluation, the committee shall refer the case to their ICCInstitution Classification Committee for evaluation.

• The receiving institution’s ICCInstitution Classification Committee can reverse an “R” suffix evaluation completed by a previous institution’s UCCUnit Classification Committee as long as the case was not evaluated by the previous institution’s ICCInstitution Classification Committee.

• The receiving institution’s ICCInstitution Classification Committee can reverse an “R” suffix evaluation completed by a previous institution’s ICCInstitution Classification Committee only if new and compelling information is obtained; otherwise, the case must be referred to DRBDepartmental Review Board.
