51130.8 Inmate Assignment Inmates are assigned to a camp from approved departmental lists. Selection of specific camp assignments is made on the basis of population needs and needs of the inmate, in line with departmental regulations. The Classification Committee carefully evaluates the escape potential of inmates assigned to a camp. Inmates sometime present a different appearance when behind walls or under constant surveillance than they do in minimum custody camp surroundings. This difference often becomes apparent to the correctional camp personnel. Therefore, the correctional camp employees need to carefully study assigned inmates and return to the facility those inmates who they believe to be escape-risks. Such returned inmates should not constitute a large percentage of the camp population. 51130.9
