Staff process RC inmates by compiling and evaluating the inmates criminal records, life histories, medical and physiological histories, and social histories. The information is used to determine the inmates custody score and to identify any specific placement needs the inmates may have. General Population inmates are those inmates that are remanded to the custody of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitations (CDCR) to serve their term of incarceration.
