Solutions: Classification Management
Automated, objective classification processing and tracking for agency classification units.
Your agency is tasked with keeping inmates, officers, and staff safe – no exceptions. Housing inmates properly and providing the appropriate programming, meals, and medical treatment is proven to enhance safety and positively influence inmate behavior. Classification is the cornerstone of sound housing decisions and safer facilities. Our automated system includes instruments that are court-tested and taught by the National Institute of Corrections.
WHAT IT DOES
Our Classification Management solution takes the guesswork out of inmate housing decisions and overall management, providing a classification unit with information on inmates that would be unavailable otherwise.
It incorporates our Northpointe Decision Tree solution for fast and accurate classification at intake by answering just a few Yes/No questions. From there, the interface provides easy-to-use decision support for reclassification to safely and effectively manage an inmate’s housing and programming, all while delivering at-a-glance summaries of each person for ongoing management throughout custody.
