Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 39, September 26, 2024
Section 44-5-104 - Classification for security(a) The security classification assigned to each inmate shall determine the security measures which are to be applied to that inmate at any particular time and under various circumstances, according to: (1) The secretary of corrections' internal management policy and procedure (IMPP) number 011-107, which provides instructions for the classification process and for security designation; (2) internal management policy and procedure number 012-101, which provides a description of supervision requirements for each security level; and (3) the general and special orders of the principal administrator at the institution where the inmate is housed. There shall be three basic security levels to which an inmate may be assigned during that inmate's period of incarceration. The security classification shall determine, in whole or in part, the security procedures applied to the inmate including the type of housing, area of assignment or activity, and the kind of supervision for maintaining control of that inmate. The level of security shall also partially determine the level of privileges and freedoms allowed to an inmate since the required security measures affect the availability of such privileges and freedoms. The security measures exercised over an inmate at any particular level may be greater, but shall never be less, than those prescribed as applicable to that level of security to which the inmate has been assigned.
(b) The basic levels of security classification are as follows: (c) Security classification levels shall be assigned in accordance with the security classification manual, secretary of corrections' internal management policy and procedure (IMPP) 011-107. (d) Each security classification is defined by the description of security measures applied to inmates with that security classification. The description shall be developed and published in the security manual of the secretary of corrections' internal management policies and procedures, chapter 12. (e) The institution director or facility supervisor shall establish security procedures to be applied to each security classification, which are appropriate for the operation of their respective institutions or facilities. (f) Any change in an inmate's security classification shall be based on a recommendation of the program management committee of the institution or facility, consistent with the secretary of corrections' IMPP 011-107. The change in security classification shall be made under the authority and by the order of the principal administrator. (g) The principal administrator may designate any needed security procedures for temporary or special situations, subject to other regulations of the secretary of corrections, that are not inconsistent with secretary of corrections' IMPP 012-101.
