Security levels

The Illinois Section of Corrections uses a three level security designation system that encompasses three points of data. The initial classification is performed at one of the reception facilities located throughout the state. Classification reviews are performed periodically on offenders at their assigned facilities. The main points of data are security level, offender grade, and escape level. Within each security level there are boosted specifics that separate each security level into additional levels.

Security Levels: i – Maximum, 2 – Medium, iii – Minimum, P – Pending (Reception/Classification Condition)

Offender Grades: A, B, C

Escape Level: (L)ow, (K)oderate, (H)igh, (East)xtremely High, (P)ending (Reception/Nomenclature Status)

The offender classification is designated in the example beneath:

ii (Security Level); A (Offender Course); Fifty (Escape Risk Level)

Inside the Medium and Minimum security levels at that place are multiple levels of security as shown in the list of facilities in a higher place. There are several factors which determine the level of security at a facility level. A table below will highlight some of the most important distinctions. An offender can be housed at a facility one level lower than his current security nomenclature for a limited catamenia of fourth dimension if located in the Segregation Unit while a transfer is pending after reclassification.

Offender grades are role of the bailiwick system utilized within the facilities. Offenders are initially assigned to A grade and afforded all privileges. B course is a transitional grade for offenders moving dorsum to A grade after demotion to C grade. C grade restricts telephone usage, commissary purchases to cosmetic/legal items, and prohibits many work and school assignments.

The escape risk system utilizes a metric to bespeak the likelihood that an offender would attempt escape. Several factors are used to make up one's mind this metric including merely not limited to crime of confidence, criminal history, history of escape attempts, and outstanding warrants. An oddity within the Moderate Escape Chance designation should be noted. This escape level is used for two completely different purposes. In ane example this level is assigned to offenders who would otherwise be a low take a chance when placed in a higher security facility. For example, Dixon Correctional Eye houses the bulk of offenders with serious health issues. Offenders serving long sentences who are moved to this Level three facility will usually exist assigned the moderate escape take a chance level as part of the reclassification performed to assign an offender with medical problems to this facility where they would otherwise remain at Level 1/2. The other use for this escape level is where an offender has an outstanding warrant or has absconded from parole or piece of work release during the last 24 months. Offender identification cards signal the escape level past utilizing a color coded background. Low escape risks have a white groundwork, moderate escape risks take a blueish background, high escape risks have a red background, and extremely high escape risks accept a green background. Additionally, extremely high escape risks clothing a green shirt and take a light-green stripe down their pant legs.

Offenders with special security clearances, such as outside clearance, special assignment clearances, or multi-level facility indicators (SMC for example at Dixon) will have data on the back of their offender identification cards.
