determine classification assignments. Opinions and
unsubstantiated/ unconfirmed reports may be filed but
are not used to score detainees classifications.
Housing assignments are based on classificationlevel.

•
•

A detainee's classification-level does not affect his/her
recreation opportunities. Detainees recreate with
persons of similar classification designations.
Detainee work assignments are based upon
classification designations.
The classification process includes
reassessmenVreclassification. For IGSA's detainees
may request reassessment between 45 and 60 days
after arrival. For CDF's detainees are re-assessed
approximately every 60 days.
The classification system includes standard procedures
