7. General principles of Type 3 (T3) facilities
  
  Article 36-T3-Institutional Correctional Facility  
36.1 T3-Institutional Correctional Facility  
  By this code, such facilities shall exist and be known as Institutional Correctional Facilities for the exclusive detainment of all prisoners sentenced to a custodial sentence greater than twelve (12) years and convicted of violent crimes, sexual related crimes, anti-social crimes.  
  No other correctional facilities shall be permitted to be temporarily or permanently used for such purpose other than those solely constructed and managed for this specific purpose.  
  It is the responsibility of the Office of Corrections to closely monitor the impact of the actions of the police, military and the courts in respect to the demand for T3 Institutional Correctional Facility places and to alert Government to budgetary savings or capital requirements depending upon the general trend and demands.  
36.2 General context of a T3 Institutional Correctional Facility  
  Individuals who have been convicted of a long term custodial sentences relating to violent crimes, sexual related crimes and anti-social crimes are by definition individuals deemed to be a danger to the community to some significant degree, where the court and the nature and circumstances of the crime warrant a longer custodial sentence.  
  Historical evidence shows that even if an individual has been convicted of a long terms sentence, it remains important to encourage genuine self reform and the opportunity and reward of improve residential conditions that this may entail.  
  Long term prisoners who have qualified for re-classification and displayed a willingness for self improvement and good behaviour have the opportunity to be re-classified to T3 Community Correctional Facility.  
  Where an individual prisoner fails in their program by being charged and found guilty of a medium to serious criminal act, they shall be excluded from all other types of T3 and placed in a T3 Institutional Correctional Facility for the duration of their sentence.  
36.3 Condition of classification of a prisoner to a T3 Institutional Correctional Facility  
  By this Code, it shall be considered an offence to classify a T3 prisoner immediately to a T3 Disciplinary Correctional Facility unless the crimes for which they have been convicted are especially violent crimes, sexual related crimes and that the Classification Report prepared for the Courts and the office of Corrections deems the prisoner ineligible for any other T3 type facility.
