How often is the placement of inmates in ESH reviewed?

The placement of inmates in the Enhanced Supervision Housing (ESH) is reviewed every 45 days. This review process is critical to ensure that the conditions of confinement are appropriate and to evaluate the inmate's behavior and needs. Regular reviews facilitate the monitoring of inmates' progress and safety, as well as help in making decisions regarding their rehabilitation and reintegration into the general inmate population if applicable.

Choosing 45 days as the review period provides a balance between allowing enough time for assessment and the need for timely interventions. This frequency allows corrections staff to remain responsive to the changing dynamics within the facility and the inmates' individual circumstances. Frequent evaluations also align with best practices in correctional facility management, ensuring compliance with standards for inmate treatment and safety. Other durations may not provide the same level of oversight essential for maintaining security and operational effectiveness within facilities housing inmates in enhanced supervision.
