BOP Program Statement 5100.08 § 2
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES. The expected results of this Program
Statement are:
a. Each inmate will be placed in a facility commensurate
with their security and program needs through an objective
and consistent system of classification which also allows
staff to exercise their professional judgement; and,
b. Staff will systematically and objectively review an
inmate’s classification making the environment in which
they are housed safer for both inmates and staff while
protecting the public from undue risk.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
