Points And Inmate Classification

There are four levels of institutions in California. Level 1 housing the least dangerous inmates up to Level 4 housing the most dangerous. The Inmates Classification Score is used as a primary factor to determine the level of institutional placement. Inmates can get points for commitment offense, unfavorable behavior, background factors, prior incarceration behavior and special case factors. The inmate can also have points taken off for favorable behavior. Knowing how many points the parolee has can be helpful to you during the contact.

LEVEL 1..........Institutions and camps consist primarily of open dormitories with a relatively low security perimeter.

LEVEL 2..........Institutions consist primarily of open dormitories with a secure perimeter and armed coverage.

LEVEL 3..........Institutions primarily have outside cell construction with a secure perimeter and armed external coverage.

LEVEL 4..........Institutions have inside or outside cell construction with a secure perimeter and both internal and perimeter armed coverage.
