TITLE: Inmate classification files
DATES: 1987-
ARRANGEMENT: Alphabetical by inmate name.

DESCRIPTION: These are records of inmate classification. When an inmate comes to the prison he goes through R & O (reception and orientation) and, after evaluation during this period, is assigned a classification. This determines where the inmate will be housed. His first evaluation comes after 1 year. Then he is evaluated every 9 months, then, depending on his targeted parole date, every 6 months, then 3, then once per month on his last 3 months before parole. There are five levels of classification. They are based on personality, psychological evaluation, temperament, and so forth. The classifications can change or be challenged. These files reflect this process. The file includes criminal history checklist, life history form, AIMS (Adult Internal Management System) form, and may contain a number of reassessment forms.
