Security designation levels ensure consistency and standardization of operations at IDOC's facilities. To effectively monitor operations from reception to discharge, designation levels offer a step-down program for inmates showing good behavior. The levels are designed to ensure continuity of services and flexibility to appropriately address inmate populations from reception through parole. Operations, such as inmate classification, program delivery, security and controlled movement, are similar at the same level facilities. The new levels encompass all five districts statewide.

Level 2 - Secure Medium Security
Level 3 - High Medium Security
Level 4 - Medium Security

Level 6 - Minimum Security
