What is the goal of the periodic review of placements in ESH?

The goal of the periodic review of placements in the Enhanced Security Housing (ESH) is primarily focused on ensuring that inmates do not pose a significant threat to safety. This process is crucial in maintaining the security and order within correctional facilities, as it involves regular assessments that help identify any changes in an inmate's behavior that could impact the safety of staff, other inmates, and the facility itself. By regularly evaluating the security risks associated with individual inmates, correctional officers and administration can make informed decisions about continued placements in ESH or consider adjustments to housing arrangements as appropriate.

This ensures not only the safety of the institution but also facilitates a structured process of monitoring, which can potentially lead to more appropriate interventions or therapeutic measures for inmates if needed. It reinforces the overarching mission of the correctional system to prioritize safety while considering the factors influencing inmate behavior.
