Each offender will undergo an assessment upon arrival, and this will be used to classify them into the correct housing and programs for their incarceration. Classifications within Wayne County Correctional Center include Inmate Worker, General Population, Restricted Custody, and Maximum Security, while others may be temporarily put into protective custody and administrative segregation. Seriousness of charges plays a large part of what the classification will be, along with previous behavior during incarceration and any prior charges.
