Offenders who are sentenced to more than a year and a day in confinement are sent to prison. Male offenders are first sent to the reception and diagnostic center at the Washington Corrections Center in Shelton. Female offenders are sent to the reception and diagnostic center at the Washington Corrections Center for Women in Gig Harbor. Offenders spend about four to six weeks at the reception center, where they receive medical examinations, testing and psychological evaluations.
Based on the assessments, the offender's custody level is assigned in a process called classification. An offender can be classified as maximum-, close-, medium- or minimum-custody. An offender's behavior is a significant factor in determining what level of custody they require. Offenders are placed in the least restrictive custody level that will provide for the safety of the public, staff and other offenders.
After their custody level assignment, offenders are transported to an appropriate prison that meets their security level and programming needs. Through good behavior and programming, offenders may be approved to transition to a lower custody level.
