		It is likely that Lavell remained a staunch supporter of Macdonald for the next three decades; his appointment in 1872 as surgeon of the Kingston Penitentiary was undoubtedly a reward for that support.
		As surgeon at the penitentiary since 1872 he had been responsible for the health of the prisoners and staff (including the daily sick parade), for the prevention and control of epidemics, and for advising prison authorities on the fitness of inmates for corporal punishment and on the prison diet.
		Moreover, by the time Lavell became warden, the penitentiary had settled into a predictable routine and it is difficult to discern his personality and approach in its affairs.

		Their security rating is then re-evaluated through a classification process once they reach the penitentiary (their rating either remains at maximum or is reduced based upon an evaluation criteria including previous prison history, the nature of the conviction, etc.) For male prisoners entering the federal system, this process takes place at Millhaven Penitentiary.
