Section 3375.6 - Automated Needs Assessment Tool
(a) A validated automated needs assessment tool, as defined in Section 3000, will identify criminogenic needs which are most predictive of criminal behavior. The tool identifies a needs value that demonstrates the level of need from high to low and shall be utilized to assist in placing the inmate in a rehabilitative program. Currently the automated needs assessment tool that is being utilized is the Correctional Offender Management Profiling For Alternative Sanctions (COMPAS) (copyright version 2020), which is hereby incorporated by reference. This tool is subject to change in the future, due to proprietary licensing rights, software version updates, and the department's agreement with the licensed authority.
(1) An automated needs assessment tool shall be administered during the reception center process for all inmates.
(2) An automated needs assessment tool shall be administered during the initial or annual review process for inmates who do not have a completed automated needs assessment tool.
(3) The automated needs assessment tool evaluates the inmate's criminogenic needs in categories such as Substance Use Disorder, Career Technical Education, educational, criminal personality, family criminality, and anger/violence.
(b) The results of the automated needs assessment tool shall be evaluated during committee actions to assist in determining the inmate's placement and sequencing into rehabilitative programs. The automated needs assessment tool results shall be placed in the inmate's central file.
