Quizplus · Accepted Answer

State correctional facilities are typically classified by their level of security. This can range from minimum security (often known as "camp" facilities), to medium security, to maximum security prisons. Other factors, such as size of prison population, geography, and educational level of prisoners, may also be considered, but the primary criterion is level of security. Race of prisoners is not a classification criteria for state correctional facilities.
