California AB1759 mandates a study on the state's prison security classification system to ensure it accurately reflects safety risks.

California AB1759 requires the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to commission a study on its security classification system. The study aims to ensure that incarcerated individuals are placed in settings that accurately reflect their risk of violence, without unnecessarily restricting access to rehabilitative programming. The research entity, selected by the Office of the Inspector General, must meet specific criteria, including a history of partnering with government agencies and a commitment to equity.
