Control Number: <br />303.02.01.001 <br />Version: <br />7.0 <br />Title: <br />Classification: Inmate <br /> <br />Page: <br />11 of 19 <br /> <br />complete. <br />8. Mixed Legal Status (Termer, Rider, Probation, Parole) <br />Occasionally, an inmate has more than one legal status. For example, an inmate who is <br />committed as a termer on one crime and a rider on another crime; or an inmate who is <br />committed as a termer on one crime and is on probation for another crime. <br />Termer and Rider <br />If an inmate is committed as a termer and a rider, the inmate will be classified as a <br />termer. Scoring for Category 1, severity of current offense will be based on the highest- <br />severity offense, either the term commitment or the retained jurisdiction commitment. <br />Although the inmate is classified, RDU staff members will not complete the Retained <br />Jurisdiction Placement Evaluation located in CIS because it may override the termer <br />classification. Instead, staff will complete a Retained Jurisdiction Placement Evaluation <br />Form (see section 8). Staff will document in the CIS, as a contact note, the completion of <br />the form. Additional retained jurisdiction reports will be completed in accordance with this <br />SOP and Retained Jurisdiction, 324.02.01.001. <br />Termer and Probation or Parole <br />If an inmate is committed as a termer and remains on probation or parole, the inmate will <br />be classified as a termer. Scoring for Category 1, severity of current offense is based on <br />the highest-risk offense, either the term commitment or probation/parole offense. <br />Rider and Probation or Parole <br />An inmate committed as a rider who is also on probation or parole will be classified as a <br />rider. The inmate will be evaluated and managed in accordance with section 8. <br />9. Initial Evaluation – Riders <br />Riders or retained jurisdiction pertains to inmates who are committed to the IDOC but where <br />either a court or the Commission for Pardons and Parole has retained jurisdiction. <br />Rider: Court and Rider: Parole Commission classifications are done by the completion of a <br />Retained Jurisdiction Placement Evaluation in the CIS. <br />Initial rider evaluations will generally take place within two weeks of reception. RDU staff <br />evaluates inmates under a retained jurisdiction (rider) sentence during the RDU process. <br />The process is the same for Rider: Court and Rider: Parole Commission; however, the <br />correct rider type must be selected when completing the evaluation. <br />Functional Roles <br />and <br />Responsibilities <br />Step Tasks <br />RDU Classification <br />Staff <br />1 <br />Review criminal history, PSI reports, assessments, medical <br />and mental health histories, recommended programs, the <br />sentencing judge's placement recommendation, etc. <br />2 <br />Enter the CIS classification screen and complete a Retained <br />Jurisdiction Placement Evaluation or if the inmate has a mixed <br />legal status (termer), complete a Retained Jurisdiction <br />Placement Evaluation Form.
