For how long do the Classification Files of released inmates stay at the records warehouse?

The Classification Files of released inmates are maintained at the records warehouse for a duration of three years. This period is essential as it allows for adequate time to review and assess any post-release issues that may arise, as well as to accommodate potential requests for information regarding the inmate's classification status. Retaining these records for three years strikes a balance between ensuring that enough historical data is available for any necessary legal or administrative purposes and managing storage resources effectively. This practice aligns with both operational protocols and compliance with relevant regulations in managing inmate records.
