Title: Colorado Department of Corrections Administrative Segregation and Classification Review

Summary: The Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC) made formal request to the National Institute of Corrections (NIC), U.S. Department of Justice, to have an external review of its offender classification system and its administrative segregation policies and practices. Once the request was received, the NIC selected two consultants (James Austin and Emmitt Sparkman) to complete the TA assignment. The primary reasons for this request can be summarized as follows; 1. With respect to the offender classification system, there had not been a full revalidation of the offender classification for several years. It is recommended that all risk assessment systems be re-tested at least every five years to ensure the system is both reliable and valid. Further, there was the need to determine if the systems are equally effective for male and female offenders. 2. With respect to administrative segregation, there have been a number of important changes in the overall structure and procedures associated with administrative segregation within the CDOC. Here again, a comprehensive assessment of the current system was desired to determine if further changes were warranted.
