The <br />safety and security of this facility is dependent on a classification system that <br />identifies inmates who pose a risk to themselves or others. Inmate who pose such a <br />risk must be promptly and appropriately segregated from the general inmate <br />population until such time that they no longer pose a risk. Staff have the ability to <br />promptly segregate these inmates pending further review by supervisors, <br />classification, and medical or mental health staff. Below are the most frequent. <br />i. Administrative Segregation- someone who repeatedly harasses or is prone <br />to assault staff or other inmates (non -punitive). The classification team <br />reviews this status every 15 business days to determine if whether their <br />status in administrative segregation is still warranted. <br />ii.
