Who is allowed access to an inmate's Classification File?

Access to an inmate's Classification File is restricted to the Sheriff and authorized personnel. This ensures that sensitive information regarding the inmate is protected and only shared with those who have a legitimate need-to-know basis related to the inmate's management within the detention facility.

Authorized personnel typically includes individuals such as classification officers, case managers, and other staff members directly involved in the inmate’s care and custody. This controlled access helps maintain the security and privacy of the inmate while also allowing necessary staff to perform their duties effectively.

The public, other inmates, and all detention staff do not have access to these files, as doing so could compromise security, violate privacy rights, and disrupt the order within the facility. Thus, maintaining restricted access is essential for operational integrity and safeguarding sensitive inmate information.
