There are different institutions for different levels of crime, most state and federal prisons have reception centers where all convicted criminals go and then they are sent to facilities depending on the severity of the crime and the length of the sentence. In Illinois there are Maximum, Medium, and minimum security facilities and the type of crime determines where the person serves there time. Over crowding in a minimum facility can cause people to serve time in Max or Medium when they would usually serve it in Minimum security.

Why are non-violent prisoners held with the most violent prisoners?

Well in some places the "most violent' are housed in maximum security institutions. But for those institutions where violent and non-violent are housed together, you can bet it is do to the fact that states do not have additional budgets to allocate the different types of offenders according to their offense. And perhaps this should serve as an added deterrent to committing crimes and risking ones freedom.
