What is DI-1 focused on in the detention system?

DI-1 focuses on inmate housing categories within the detention system, which encompasses the classification and assignment of inmates based on various factors such as their crime severity, behavior, and specific needs. This categorization is essential for ensuring the safety and security of both inmates and staff, as it helps in managing the population effectively and reducing potential conflicts.

Properly categorizing inmates allows for a more structured environment, facilitating the allocation of resources and addressing the particular needs of different groups. For example, it ensures that inmates who may pose a higher risk are housed separately from those who may be non-violent or vulnerable, hence directly impacting the overall safety and operational efficiency of the detention facility. This focus on housing categories is critical for maintaining order and providing appropriate rehabilitative programs tailored to diverse inmate populations.
