Ohio Admin. Code 5120-9-53 - Classification committees
(A) Each institution shall establish and
maintain a classification committee(s). The committee shall include a unit
manager or designee, and other members as appointed by the unit manager. The
classification committee shall have jurisdiction over annual and special
security level reviews, work assignments, community release screening, transfer
requests, and program placement.
(B) Prior to a hearing of the classification
committee the inmate shall be provided with notice no less than forty-eight
hours prior, unless waived by the inmate. This notice shall inform the inmate
of the purpose of the hearing, that the inmate may make or submit a written
statement if the inmate chooses, and that the inmate has the right to meet with
at least one member of the committee. This notice shall be on a form designated
for that purpose.
(C) During a
classification hearing the committee shall review and consider the inmate's
needs, including programming needs reflected in the inmate's reentry
accountability plan, evaluate placement and progress, security and any other
relevant matters. Each inmate shall have a classification hearing no less than
annually.
(D) After the
classification committee hearing, the committee shall make a written summary of
the hearing, including their recommendation and reasons for such recommendation
and forward this to the warden or designee. The inmate shall be promptly
notified of the recommendation of the committee and of the right to appeal the
recommendation to the warden or designee. The notice to the inmate shall be on
a form designated for that purpose. The warden or designee shall approve or
disapprove the recommendation or make an alternative recommendation or
decision. The warden's decision shall be communicated in writing to the inmate.
Security level reviews and transfer request decisions may further be appealed
to the bureau of classification.
