Subject Last Chance Death Row as Custody Level 3
Division of Prison Operations creates a progressive environment, so inmates are able to address
their behaviors, allowing for opportunities to progress to less restrictive housing environments.
housing staff would like to add to these opportunities for those inmates currently in the
Last Chance Death Row program (LCDR) as defined in FH26.
staff would like to pilot a program which would one day allow those
LCDR inmates to progress to general population and out of level two housing. As the
LTIM population has begun to be reduced; housing staff proposed the idea to their chain
of command which gave their support. The following will outline the basics of this program:
The following phases will implemented over a 360 day period for this program:
Phase 1
Officers enter open section while LCDR inmates are on recreation; they will only
recreate with each other.
(The process will be reviewed after 90 days by the chain of command)
Phase 2
Allow LCDR inmates access to open movement into the low side horse shoe, visiting
and start groups in the OMR room.
(The process will be reviewed after 90 days by the chain of command)
Phase 3
Prepare to transition the LCDR inmates out to General population by treating them as
level 3 inmates and allowing them to wear inmate whites.
(The process will be reviewed after 180 days by the chain of command)
LCDR inmates are currently housed in
