Question 2

DEI explantion

Answer 2

“Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) refers to a concept that aims to create an environment where people from all backgrounds, identities, and perspectives are not only represented but also feel welcomed, valued, and have equal opportunities to participate and thrive, encompassing the ideas of acknowledging differences (“diversity”), ensuring fairness and just treatment (“equity”), and actively creating a sense of belonging (“inclusion”
for everyone involved

Key points about DEl:
Diversity: The presence of different characteristics among individuals, including race, ethnicity,
gender, sexual orientation, age, socioeconomic status, ability, and more. ®
Equity: Taking proactive steps to address systemic inequalities and ensure everyone has access to the same opportunities, even if it means providing different levels of
support based on individual needs. ®
Inclusion: Creating a culture where everyone feels welcomed, respected, and able to contribute
fully regardless of their differences.

Question 3

This card I will make into multiple cards at work once i get the proper text from title 15. (Some of these are already answered.

Answer 3

Some common topics you’re going to need to know are:

1. Name the elements of a VIO review, ARSON review and ‘R’ suffix review.
2. What is the criteria for CLOSE Custody? Under what circumstances can an inmate be taken off before the established minimum time requirements?
3. Name the exclusionary and/or CBC criteria for MCRP (Male Community Reentry Program).
4. Scenario: Inmate Johnson served a SHU Term for Murder of an Inmate. Upon completion of that SHU Term what housing design should he be housed in and what should his custody designation be? Then they threw a curveball at me and asked for how long should he be at that designation.
5. What kind of information should be in a 128G Classification Chrono?
6. Under what circumstances should Effective Communication be required?
7. Under what circumstances can an inmate be seen “Absentia” for classification committee?
8. Under what circumstances could information be deemed “confidential.”
9. What are Administrative Determinants? List as many three letter codes as you can. This can be found in the Title 15 section 3375 Classifications
10. Tell us why you’d be the best candidate for this position? (Talk about your correctional experience, any supervisory experience, the fact you are highly motivated to promote and that you have a helpful and team oriented mindset, how you can complete your assigned duties efficiently and independently using the resources available to you such as the Title 15, DOM, LOP, Mini- Manual and other training resources (this especially works as a go to response when you don’t know the answer to a question, you can tell them I would utilize my resources to research and educate myself and if I can’t find what I’m looking for, I’m not afraid to ask a colleague for clarification and then my supervisor as a last resort), how you are a flexible employee, a dependable employee who seeks longevity where you work, etc… but try to keep it brief).

NEED TO KNOW ESCAPE Criteria, with & without force also. It came up in conjunction with knowing CLOSE Custody Criteria and knowing that escape with/without force from an institution with a secure perimeter or an armed escort carries a certain length of time an inmate must serve at CLOSE Custody.

Question 4

Name the elements of and ‘R’ suffix review and when is it reviewable and/or affixed.

Answer 4

You can affix an R-suffix for the following:
1. Inmate is required to register per PC 290.
2. Inmate’s parole revoked by BPH, Good/Probable Cause Finding of an offense that is equivalent to an offense listed in PC 290.
3. Inmate had BPH formerly known as CYA sustained adjudication of offense that is equivalent to an offense listed in PC 290.
4. Inmate had a Valid R-Suffix evaluation, resulting in an R-Suffix being affixed.
———————————————————-
If affixing an R-Suffix you need the following if there is no conviction:
1. Arrest Reports
2. District Attorney Comments.
However, a classification committee may affix an “R” suffix if the arrest report(s) are available, and the district attorney’s comments are unavailable. The classification committee shall document in a CDC Form 128-G the attempts/steps taken to obtain the required documentation.
—————————————————————
You need the following to review an R-Suffix:
1. Any arrest (regardless of if convicted or not) of any PC290 offense shall be reviewed for Any R-Suffix. Unless already required to register per PC290.

If an incarcerated person [IP] is retained at closed custody, the classification committee shall document the reasons for retention at close custody. However, no time spent at Maximum Custody shall be applied toward satisfying the Close Custody minimum time requirement.
2. *** When the IP has met the minimum close custody time requirement, the 12 month serious disciplinary free period is no longer required. PER TITLE 15- (1) After completing the minimum time requirement for Close Custody as established in 3377.2(b), an incarcerated person’s custody shall be considered for reduction by a classification committee during the annual classification review.

After granting credit for the time served at the lower custody, if the IP’s has not completely fulfilled the required minimum time period for closed custody, an ICC shall evaluate the totality of the IP’s case factors to determine whether to impose the remaining Close custody obligation or allow the IP to remain at the lower custody designation.
