Who composes the unit classification committee (UCC)?

The unit classification committee (UCC) typically consists of various personnel who bring different expertise and perspectives to the classification process. By including a captain, correctional counselors at different levels (CCIII and CCII), a lieutenant, and other necessary personnel, the UCC can effectively assess the needs and risks associated with inmates, ensuring a more rounded and informed decision-making process.

This composition allows for a variety of insights, as correctional counselors can provide psychological and rehabilitative perspectives, while officers can offer operational insights. The inclusion of a captain or lieutenant provides authoritative oversight, further contributing to the effectiveness of the committee's decisions regarding inmate classification and management. Such diversity in expertise is crucial for addressing the complex needs and challenges in correctional environments.
