What is a common criterion for classifying a detainee as high level?

Classifying a detainee as high level often revolves around an assessment of potential risks they may pose to the safety and security of the facility. The criterion that a detainee "may pose a threat to facility security" highlights concerns regarding that individual's behavior, affiliations, or past actions that could endanger staff, other detainees, or the overall environment within the detention center. This classification helps prioritize resources and management strategies to mitigate risks associated with higher-level detainees.

In contrast, minor traffic violations typically do not indicate a potential threat to security and generally would not qualify someone for high-level classification. Involvement in nonviolent felonies might suggest criminal behavior, but if it doesn’t involve a risk to the facility's safety, it’s less likely to lead to high-level classification. A history of good behavior usually suggests compliance and low risk, making it an unlikely criterion for determining high-level status. Thus, identifying a potential threat to security stands out as the most relevant criterion for this classification.
