Crime Severity Levels

Crime Severity Levels

CRIME SEVERITY LEVELS . The severity Level is selected from the table of offenses listed below. If the offense is not listed, the severity level containing the most similar offense is chosen.

Unless otherwise specified, if the inmate is serving for an "attempted" offense, the offense will be rated one (1) severity level less than where the actual offense is listed.

If the inmate is serving for multiple offenses, the most serious offense will determine the Crime Severity Level. If serving for parole/probation revocation based on the commission of a new offense, the Crime Severity Level will be determined by that offense, unless otherwise specified.
