How do I learn about the prisoner intake process?

All male and female offenders who are sentenced to prison are taken first to a receiving area or "reception and guidance center" where they are tested, evaluated and classified to the institution to which they will eventually be sent. The receiving process normally takes about 10 days, but prisoners frequently remain in reception units three to five weeks longer while they wait for a cell in the particular prison to which they have been assigned.
