The goals of this study were to determine how the proposed classification instruments would change the distribution of offenders at each custody level, examine offenders who would change to a much higher or lower custody level, calculate the percentage of overrides and override reasons, and determine how well the instrument predicts offender behavior and which items drive custody level.

The report contains information on the incarcerated and parole populations under the jurisdiction of the Colorado Department of Corrections, as well as, the population of the youthful offender system (Y.O.S.). All population counts are reported as of the last day of the month.
