Assignment:
The need to keep correctional facilities operating in a safe and effective manner doesn't stop at locking offenders up. Incarceration management is a very important aspect of how a facility is operated. This includes the classification of inmates because facilities have to be mindful of mixing dangerous inmates with the rest of the population. For this reason, classification levels are used.
The inmate classification levels are:
Imagine you were in charge of classifying the following inmates:
#111111: committed robbery; been to prison three times; been to jail multiple times; extensive juvenile record; never worked a real job
#222222: committed petit theft; has previous petit theft arrests; previously on probation
#333333: committed murder; has no prior arrest history; college graduate and employed
There are certain things that you need to consider when classifying inmates. Using the classification levels provided above, address the following:
How would you classify Inmate #111111? Why did you choose to classify this inmate at that level?
How would you classify Inmate #222222? Why did you choose to classify this inmate at that level?
How would you classify Inmate #333333? Why did you choose to classify this inmate at that level?
