Correctional Counselor (CC1) Practice Exam

The classification committee, when deciding not to retain an inmate's Violent Incident Observation Adjusted Day (VIO AD), typically refers the case to a Classification Staff Representative (CSR) for removal. This action ensures that there is a formal process in place for addressing the inmate's status and potential classification changes. The CSR has the authority and responsibility to oversee classification decisions and can facilitate the removal of the VIO AD from the inmate's record, addressing any concerns linked to the inmate’s behavior and circumstances.

This process supports the larger correctional framework, which emphasizes appropriate management of inmate classifications and ensures that decisions are made through the proper channels. In this context, referring to a CSR also underscores the importance of having specialized personnel involved in such critical decisions, ensuring they are made based on established protocols and guidelines. Therefore, the involvement of a CSR is essential for maintaining accountability and consistency in classification matters.
