Grievance policy allows for one issue to be presented per grievance. Your complaint involved multiple issues and it was at the Grievance Investigator's discretion to select the most prevalent. Per the Classification Plan, no offender shall be assigned to any housing area solely on the basis of race, color, ethnic origin, or religious affiliation. Housing assignments are based custody designation, medical needs, and Institutional need. There is no indication the Michael Unit Classification Department or Administration is violating this policy. No corrective action warranted.
