(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:
(1) Maximum;
(2) medium; and
(3) minimum.
(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.
