  1. the classification depends not just on the crime but also on the prisoner and they are classified as follows:-

    Category A:- Prisoners for whom escape would pose a severe threat to the public, police, or the security of the state, and for whom escape must be made as difficult as possible however unlikely that escape may be

    Category B:- Prisoners for whom the strictest security conditions are not necessary, but for whom escape must still be made as difficult as possible.

    Category C:- Prisoners who lack the will or resources to make a determined and serious escape bid, but cannot be trusted in open conditions

    Category D:- Prisoners who can be trusted in open conditions

    hope this helps!


  2. violent crimes, cat b means your still classed as a danger to the public and other inmates,

  3. -Category A prisoners are those whose escape would be highly dangerous to the public or national security (terrorists)



    -Category B prisoners are those who don’t require maximum security, but for whom escape needs to be made very difficult

    -Category C prisoners are those who can’t be trusted in open conditions but who are unlikely to try to escape

    -Category D prisoners are those who can be trusted not to try to escape, and are given the privilege of an open prison.

    -Prisoners at 'D Cat' (as it is commonly known) prisons, are, subject to approval, given ROTL (Release On Temporary Licence) to work in the community or to go on 'home leave' once they have passed their FLED (Full Licence Eligibility Dates), which is usually a quarter of the way through the sentence.

    -Category A, B and C prisons are called closed prisons, whilst category D prisons are called open prisons.
