POLICY OBJECTIVES1. To place offenders to the most appropriate institution and to contribute to their timely preparation for safe reintegration. 2. To ensure public safety as well as offender rights while meeting the offender's individual security requirements and program needs. 3. This CD is to be read in conjunction with CD 705 Intake Assessment Process.AUTHORITIES4. Corrections and Conditional Release Act (CCRA), sections 28-30 and section 40 Corrections and Conditional Release Regulations (CCRR), sections 11-12 and sections 17-18CROSS-REFERENCES5. CD 006 Classification of Institutions CD 081 Offender Complaints and Grievances CD 710-2 Transfer of OffendersDEFINITIONS6. Co-convicted offenders: Offenders who were parties in the commission of an offence resulting in death or serious harm (section 99 of the CCRA), even though they may have been charged with different offences and received different sentences or may have been prosecuted at different times. 7. High profile offender: Offenders whose offence involved the death of or serious harm to other person(s) and received significant public attention or offenders whose offence was non-violent but generated significant media attention and/or a significant number of victims (e.g., a large scale multi-million dollar fraud). 8. Offender security level: A rating (minimum, medium or maximum) based on an assessment of the offender's institutional adjustment, escape risk and risk to public safety. This assessment, combined with the results of the Custody Rating Scale, enables CSC to place an offender at an institution which will provide the appropriate regime of control, supervision, programs and services consistent with his or her assigned security classification. 9. Custody Rating Scale (CRS): A research-based tool to assist the Parole Officer/Primary Worker to determine the most appropriate level of security for the initial penitentiary placement of the offender or any subsequent readmission. The scale is completed by assigning scores to a number of factors on two dimensions: institutional adjustment and security risk.ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES10. Institutional Heads and District Directors are responsible for authorizing an offender's security classification. This authority may be delegated to the Deputy Warden or Area Director except in those cases where the security classification is related to a transfer decision and/or involves an offender serving a life sentence for first or second degree murder who is currently classified as maximum security. 11. Institutional Heads and District Directors must provide a specific rating in relation to "institutional adjustment", "escape risk" and "public safety" in every Offender Security Classification final decision. If the Institutional Head or District Director does not concur with the Assessment for Decision's recommended ratings, a specific rationale must be provided for the divergence from the recommendation. 12. Institutional Heads and District Directors are responsible for providing the offender with reasons as well as the information considered in making the decision, in writing within five working days. The offender will be advised, at the same time, of his or her right to seek redress using the grievance process (CD 081). 13. The Institutional Head will ensure the "High Profile Offender" flag is set in OMS for any offender who meets the definition outlined above. 14. The Institutional Head will implement a process to ensure that the procedures outlined in paragraphs 43 and 44 are followed when a high profile offender is being placed. 15. The Custody Rating Scale will be completed by the Parole Officer in the Temporary Detention Unit, where such facilities exist.Centralized Intake Assessment Process16. Where the intake assessment process is centralized, the Custody Rating Scale will be completed by the intake Parole Officer/Primary Worker. 17. The Parole Officer/Primary Worker in the Intake Assessment Units is responsible for completing an Assessment for Decision for initial security classification and penitentiary placement. 18. In regions with centralized Intake Assessment Units, the offender will be transferred from provincial custody upon the expiration of the 15-day delay, unless he or she waives the delay. The placement decision will be made at the Intake Assessment Unit. 19. Offenders who are revoked following a release will be sent to the intake unit or a temporary detention unit depending on regional practices. 20. Institutional Parole Officers/Primary Workers will complete a new Assessment for Decision (for security classification and placement) for all offenders whose release is revoked by the NPB.Decentralized Intake Assessment Process21. The community Parole Officer will complete the Custody Rating Scale for all new admissions within five working days from the sentencing date in those regions with decentralized Intake Assessment Units. 22. If there is no temporary detention unit in the region or the offender is being directly placed to a penitentiary, the community Parole Officer is responsible for completing the Custody Rating Scale and an Assessment for Decision (for security classification and penitentiary placement) for all re-admissions to federal custody due to suspension/revocation of conditional release. 23. The initial placement of the offender from provincial to federal custody at the time of sentencing, in regions without a centralized Intake Assessment Unit, will be made via the warrant of committal while the offender is in provincial custody and the offender will be transferred directly to federal custody. Once in federal custody, the offender will be moved to the placement institution via a penitentiary placement decision as soon as it is practical. 24. The institutional Parole Officer/Primary Workers are responsible for reviewing the Custody Rating Scale previously completed by the community Parole Officer for completeness and accuracy. If necessary, the Custody Rating Scale will be done again at the end of the intake assessment process. 25. The Parole Officer/Primary Worker in the Intake Assessment Unit is responsible for completing the intake assessment and, if necessary, an Assessment for Decision for a transfer. 26. The placement decision, in regions without a Intake Assessment Unit, will be made while the offender is in provincial custody and the offender will be transferred directly to federal custody and as soon as practical, to the placement institution.Women's Institutions27. The community Parole Officer is responsible for completing the Custody Rating Scale for all women offenders while they are in provincial custody. INITIAL SECURITY CLASSIFICATION AND PLACEMENT28. The security classification of each offender will be determined at the time of initial placement and on any readmission and will be based on the results of the Custody Rating Scale, clinical judgement of experienced and specialized staff and psychological assessments, where required. The Parole Officer/Primary Worker will indicate in the Assessment for Decision that the Custody Rating Scale result is being used (see Annex E). 29. The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) utilizes research-based tools in determining an offender's security level. Once the Custody Rating Scale is completed and locked, it must not be changed. 30. Psychological risk assessments will be completed during the intake assessment process for offenders serving life and indeterminate sentences where consideration is being given to placement at a medium security facility. This assessment will focus on risk and institutional adjustment including risk to the public, staff or offender safety and address behavioural needs to facilitate stabilization and adaptation. Where placement is to a maximum security facility, the psychological risk assessment will be completed as soon as possible following placement. 31. A placement recommendation is included in the same Assessment for Decision covering the security classification decision. When recommending a placement institution, the choice of institution will be the one that provides the least restrictive environment for the offender, taking into account, but not limited to, the following factors:
CUSTODY RATING SCALE32. The Custody Rating Scale takes into consideration the following factors as required by section 17 of the CCRR:
33. The Parole Officer/Primary Worker scores each factor based on the information obtained from the offender during the Intake Assessment as well as from documents collected (e.g., FPS Sheet, Police Report). A guide for the completion of the Scale is contained in Annex A. 34. The security level cut-off scores in the Custody Rating Scale are as follows: (note *all scores are inclusive)
35. In determining the security classification of Aboriginal offenders, staff will be sensitive to the spirit and intent of the Gladue and will take into consideration the following factors:
36. Security classification will be conducted in accordance with the requirements of section 18 of the CCRR. The Custody Rating Scale measures the categories set out in section 18 of the CCRR as follows:
37. The final assessment must address both the actuarial score and clinical factors. In the overall assessment of risk, clinical judgment will normally be anchored by the results of the Scale. Where variations occur (i.e. the actuarial measure is inconsistent with the clinical appraisal), it is important that the assessment specify why this is the case. The final assessment will conform with section 17 of the CCRR, by setting out the analysis under the three headings of institutional adjustment, escape risk and risk to public safety. 38. When an offender is re-admitted following suspension or revocation of his or her conditional release, the Custody Rating Scale will be completed as soon as possiblePLACEMENT DECISION39. Provide the offender the reasons for the proposed placement in writing two working days prior to the final decision and transfer to the assigned penitentiary. 40. The Institutional Head will consider any responses provided by the offender in the final penitentiary placement decision. 41. The offender may appeal the placement decision using the offender grievance process.PLACEMENT OF CO-CONVICTED OFFENDERS42. The co-location of co-convicted offenders under current sentence for an offence resulting in death or serious harm may be considered to be detrimental to the rehabilitation and safe reintegration of one or more offenders or to the safety and security of the institution. HIGH PROFILE OFFENDERS43. If it is determined that the proposed placement is likely to generate significant public interest:
44. The Institutional Head will ensure that an e-mail is distributed to the following persons alerting them to the completion of the Memo to File:

2. ESCAPE HISTORY
Definitions
Escape: includes only escapes from federal/provincial/territorial correctional institutions, from police/peace officer custody or while on escorted temporary absence (ETA). It does not include leaving an open custody youth facility, a community residential facility (CRF), a community correctional centre (CCC) or where an offender has been unlawfully at large from an unescorted temporary absence (UTA) or probation.
Last five years of incarceration: (pertaining to item d) includes any accumulated period or periods of federal or provincial incarceration (including remand) in the offender's history that total five years or more, not just the five years immediately preceding the current admission to federal custody.
Instructions
Where charges were laid against the offender, it is not necessary that a court conviction be registered to count the incident of escape. When reviewing cases where the offender was charged with "escape lawful custody" or "unlawfully at large", count only those situations where the act leading to the charge was an escape from a federal or provincial institution, from police/peace officer custody or while on an escorted temporary absence from a federal or provincial institution.
Provincial or territorial designation of security levels maximum, medium and minimum is equal to the federal levels, except in the case of provincial jails and detention/remand centres which are considered to be maximum security for the purposes of scoring the CRS.
Escapes from provincial closed/secure custody youth facilities should be counted under category b.

3. STREET STABILITY
Street stability refers to the evaluation of an offender's level of functioning in the community as it relates to socially and legally acceptable norms. In order that street stability can be assessed consistently and objectively, four specific key life style areas must be evaluated separately and a composite rating reflecting these areas determined.
Street stability is assessed against the offender population and not relative to non-criminal individuals. In addition it should be assessed relative to the community in which the offender was residing at the time the offence was committed. For example, if unemployment was relatively high in a particular community, the offender should be assessed against the employment opportunities in that community.
Where applicable and if completed as part of the current assessment the domain ratings from the OIA Dynamic Factor Analysis, Associates and Community Functioning domains can be used to support the Above Average (Factor Seen as an asset/No Immediate Need), Average (Some Need) and Below Average (Considerable Need) rating.
(i) Employment/Education
CRS Guidelines
Above average the offender has been steadily employed or attending an educational program for more than 6 months prior to the present incarceration.
Average the offender has been employed or attending an educational program sporadically in the last 6 months prior to this incarceration and there have been significant periods of unemployment during this period.
Below average the offender has been usually unemployed and was not employed when the current offence(s) was committed. If the offender verbalizes that the employment/educational situation contributed to the present offence(s), the rating should be "below average".
(ii) Marital/Family Adjustment
CRS Guidelines
Above average a stable marriage (including common-law) exists. The offender is presently supported by an intact nuclear family (includes parents, siblings, spouse and children).
Average the offender has a marital partner, however, periods of instability have occurred, and/or the nuclear family is somewhat unstable.
Below average no significant family relationships are identified as having existed during the six month period prior to the commission of the present offence(s) and/or immediate family members do not provide pro-social supportive roles.
(iii) Interpersonal Relationships
CRS Guidelines
Above average the offender associates with essentially non-criminal persons in the community.
Average associations with unstable or criminally oriented persons, along with a mixture of stable individuals has been identified.
Below average the offender's social circle is made up almost entirely of persons with criminal backgrounds or unstable lifestyles. The offender may have a co-accused in the present offence(s) with whom social ties in the community are identified.
(iv) Living Arrangements
CRS Guidelines
Above average Lengthy period of time (more than one year) at a single residence unless legitimate reasons for relocation are identified
Average Changes of residence once or twice per year have occurred with no strong rationale identified
Below Average Changes of residence have occurred two or more times during the six month period prior to the current offence(s)
After having examined each lifestyle area, place the individual in the category that best describes the life circumstances prior to incarceration. An overall assessment should be made of the areas considered together.

PART II SECURITY RISK RATING
1. NUMBER OF PRIOR CONVICTIONS
Definition
Prior convictions: convictions other than the ones for which the offender is presently serving a sentence.
Instructions
Convictions are counted separately only if they were awarded a consecutive sentence. All convictions that are dealt with by the imposition of concurrent sentences, even if they are different (e.g. false pretences and fraud), or occurred on different dates, are counted as a single conviction for the purpose of completing the Scale. Unless the conviction is stated as being consecutive, it is assumed to be concurrent. Convictions under the Juvenile Delinquents Act, Young Offenders Act or Youth Criminal Justice Act should be counted. No incidents or convictions will be counted if they occurred when the offender was under the age of 16.

2. MOST SEVERE OUTSTANDING CHARGE
All outstanding charges at the time of admission on the offender's current sentence are to be identified. Using Annex C, determine which outstanding charge is the most severe, and enter only the score for that offence.
For suspension or revocation admissions, check for any outstanding charges and score accordingly. If parole has been revoked following the commission of an offence and the charges have not yet been dealt with by the courts, count the offence under this item. In situations where the police have informed CSC they are planning to charge an offender but have not yet done so, do not count the charge below. However, this may be an issue to take into account in the rationale for decision-making on placement.

Following the capture of an offender who has escaped or who is unlawfully at large, he or she will be detained at an institution, at the appropriate security level, in the region of the arrest pending arrangements for readmission to a specific institution.
An offender who has escaped or who has been unlawfully at large and is recaptured/returned to federal custody should not normally be the subject of an involuntary transfer process, simply to return him to the region from which he escaped or to be placed at the appropriate level of security. The offender is being brought back into the system to satisfy the remainder of his sentence and should be classified through the application of the Custody Rating Scale. Should the offender request to return to the region from which he escaped, he may apply for a voluntary transfer which will be decided upon on the basis of its own merits. Before effecting any transfer, all outstanding judicial matters, if applicable, will normally have been resolved.
The institutions, intake assessment units or reception units who receive offenders from the police or provincial authorities determine the need for a complete new Intake Assessment. There are those cases where the offender has either been at large for an extended period or in which circumstances warrant potential referrals to the Intake Assessment Unit for a more comprehensive re-evaluation of the offender's static and dynamic factors. These criteria can be found in CD 705 Intake Assessment Process, paragraphs 30 to 32. These criteria should be applied to offenders recaptured following escape as well as those readmitted following conditional release.
The region in which the offender has been recaptured becomes responsible for the offender once he is in custody and the region from which he escaped retains no "ownership" of the offender. The region in which the offender is recaptured is responsible for determining the appropriate placement and security level.
UTA AUTHORITY | Identify who has the authority to grant UTAs to this offender. Where CSC is the granting authority, be sure to include:
NOTE: The CMT should monitor the UTA authority throughout the offender's sentence as the decision authority could change due to new/updated information.
