BUREAU MISSION STATEMENT
To determine causes of
inmate's criminality and identify programs to ameliorate the risk of
re-offending, determine the level of risk inmates present to public safety and
assign them to a facility at the appropriate custody level, and to manage
overcrowding in a cost effective manner.
- The Bureau has the responsibility
for the initial assessment and evaluation of all offenders admitted to the Department's
correctional facilities. Decisions are made on custody, placement and program needs for
each offender.
- Following the initial assessment
and evaluation decisions all offenders are reevaluated in six month intervals (or sooner
as needed). Custody, placement and program issues are reevaluated and adjusted depending
on conduct, progress, new information concerning offense, sentence, parole activity, etc.
- As these activities are completed,
the transportation unit is responsible for scheduling and implementing transfers to
accommodate classification decisions
- All activities are performed and
monitored in compliance with DOC administrative codes, institutional and security
procedures applicable to the Divisions of Adult Institutions and Community Corrections. In
addition, the Bureau's mission and goals mirror those of the department - to protect the
public through the constructive management of offenders and provide for a reasonable
placement and programming to accommodate offender's needs.
