I work for a regional jail. When an inamte is booked in, they must go through a classificaiton process to insure they are placed in the appropriate housing unit. In a nutshell, the officers will ask a series of scored questions. The total of the score will determin the most appropriate classificaiton for the inmate. I want to create a form that will help streamline this.



Bascially, they will ask questions like:

• severity of current charges (choices: Low=0, Moderate=2, High=5, highest=7)
• serious offense history (choices: None/Low=0, Moderate=1, High=4, Highest=7)
• escape history (choices: choices: No escape=0, Walkaway/Attempted from minimum security or not return from authorized absence=3, Escape/Attemped from medium/maximum=7

etc. to come up with a custody score. There are seven questions. Questions 1-3 need a total and then section 1-7 need a total. There are some places for comments. I have attached a scan of the form.

Many thanks up front for anyone who can assist.
