The classification of prison Max, Medium or Minimum is determined by the nature of the crime. Violent offenders typically tend to go to the Max. Also a prisoner may be moved from a Med or Min to a Max if the commit certain violent acts at the Med or Min they are in. Furthermore the location of a prisoner is determined by their escape risk.
