Detention Classification/ICE 287(g) Operations
The Classification/U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) 287(g) Operations Division is responsible for all inmate placements in the prospective housing units. This is accomplished through an intensive classification system that assigns inmates to high, medium and minimum custody status. The inmate status is monitored daily and adjusted as needed.
The Classification Lieutenant and his staff are also responsible for scheduling inmate extraditions, court appearances and commitments. They also assist inmates with requests for information and channel these requests to the appropriate agencies.
