What is a reception prisoner?

Google didn't help me with this. Probably could have delved deeper but I can't be bothered.

Hello Kim. When a person is sentenced as a felon and goes to prison, the first prison he will go is called a reception center. This is a Close/Max rated full service prison. He will stay there anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks while he is "classified". Classification is grouping him according to level of security, which is determined by the crime he is currently incarcerated on, any priors he may have, any prior history of violence or gang related activity, physical size and age. Once he is classified, he gets what is called an Administrative Transfer to his parent institution. This is a prison within the same state at the security level is now assigned to.

While serving his time, he will be reassessed for his security level at a minimum of annually. A point system is used and as he increases his points, his security level is lightened. Murderers serving 30 years will start in a Max prison and if they behave during incarceration, will eventually be transferred to a Medium Minimum prison (although this usually takes 20 or so years to lighten up that much).

Conversely, if an inmate starts in a Medium Minimum and can't stay out of trouble, gets into fights or assaults other inmates and staff, he will upgrade to a Max prison or Super Max as it is deemed fit.


I hope this helps and you can find it useful
