Sec. 6. (a) The department shall:
(1) classify all penal facilities and programs to which convicted persons may be assigned for supervision or custodial care according to:
(A) maximum, medium, or minimum security function; and
(B) treatment program available; and
(2) furnish the classifications to all judges with general criminal jurisdiction.
(b) A maximum security assignment constitutes an assignment of a convicted person to a penal facility and correctional program that are designed to insure that the person remains within a walled or fenced facility where entry and exit of any person occurs only through department supervised gates and where periodic inmate population accounting and supervision by the department occurs each day.
(c) A medium security assignment constitutes an assignment of a convicted person to a penal facility and correctional program that are designed to insure that if the person is permitted outside the supervised gates of a walled or fenced facility, the department will provide continuous staff supervision and the person will be accounted for throughout the day.
(d) A minimum security assignment constitutes an assignment of a convicted person to a work release center or program, to intermittent service of a sentence, or to a program requiring weekly reporting to a designated official. Assignment to minimum security need not involve a penal facility.
