Adult
PLEASE NOTE: With the exception of Maximum Security, the three main considerations in assigning an adult offender to a security level are the committing offense, the length of sentence, and prior criminal history.
Minimum (Level 1)
Minimum Security Facilities have the least restrictive security measures. Housing is dormitory style. Offenders in these facilities typically are serving short sentences of nonviolent, non-weapons-based offenses. Also included as minimum security are work release program offenders who leave the facility for outside employment but return nightly.

Low Medium (Level 2)
Low Medium Security Facilities have a moderate degree of security measures. Housing is dormitory style. Offenders typically have shorter sentences than Level 3 offenders. Low Medium security offenders are less aggressive than Level 3's and 4's, and have a shorter criminal history.

High Medium (Level 3)
High Medium Security Facilities have a moderately high degree of security measures. Housing is celled space. High Medium security offenders are typically more aggressive than Level 1's and 2's, could be serving longer sentences, and have a long criminal history.
Maximum (Level 4)
Maximum Security Facilities have very restrictive security measures. Housing is celled space. Maximum security offenders have been convicted of violent or weapons-based offenses. These offenders require close supervision and tight security to minimize risk to the public, staff, and other offenders.
Intake Facilities
Intake facilities are designated to receive newly committed adult offenders. During the intake process each offender is evaluated through interviews, reports and diagnostic tests. This evaluation forms the basis of the offenders' facility and program assignment.
