Endorsement for level 1 but they won't put him there

[Di*]

My husband was endorsed to Corcoran prison for level 1 and when he got to reception the counselor told him she does not want him to go to level one and wants to keep him in a level 2 instead. But on endorsement paperwork they gave him says he is endorsed to go to level 1 with level 1 points is there anything I am able to do? Please help!

Welcome to Prison Talk. I hope you get answers from folks who know about California's prisons.

I don't believe there is anything you can do.

Maybe he can do something. There are reasons in CDCR regulations why with level 1 points you are not allowed in a level 1 yard. It's not just that she doesn't want him there. If she did not give him more information than that and the reason why, he needs to ask her next time. He needs to find out the reason. Then he can try to do things to fix that.

You can also try contacting the ombudsman. They seem to be really helpful in explaining thoroughly why something like this happens and can give you the steps if there is anything you can do or if there is something he can do. Good luck!

I asked earlier and its because he came from a level 3. It sucks because he was in level 3 with level 2 points. He didn't want to leave where he was at because of the job he had there and his college courses he was taking. Thank you.

Ug. that stinks.

Yeah Im guessing it has to do with being in a lv 3 that maybe they dont want to put him down to lv1 right off. Agree to asking what he needs to do in order to get to lv1.
