How long does the Classification Section maintain and store Classification Files of released inmates?

The Classification Section maintains and stores Classification Files of released inmates for a duration of 2 months. This period allows for the necessary administrative functions associated with inmate data management, ensuring that there is adequate time to access and review files if needed shortly after release.

Following this timeframe, it may be considered that the files are no longer immediately necessary for the ongoing operational needs of the facility, such as reassessing classifications or addressing any post-release matters. Retaining these files for a brief period after release is a common practice that balances operational efficiency with the importance of record-keeping in correctional settings.
