What is the Institution Classification Committee, and how do I request contact visits through it?

The Institution Classification Committee is one of several “classification committees” that each institution must establish.[2505] The committee is composed of various members, including a chairperson (commonly the warden), an alternate chairperson (such as a correctional administrator), a psychiatrist or physician, and several other employees of the institution.[2506] The ICC’s duties include recommending the transfer of inmates.[2507] Given the warden of your institution is likely the chairperson of the ICC, you should first direct any request regarding visitation to the warden’s attention.
