Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 21, May 24, 2024
Section 3330 - Disciplinary Detention
(a) An inmate may not be assigned to disciplinary detention as defined in section 3000 except on the order of a disciplinary committee or senior disciplinary hearing officer.
(b) Disciplinary detention may be ordered in a housing unit or section of a housing unit specifically designed for that purpose or in any room or cell which provides the necessary security, control, and restriction of the inmate's actions. When disciplinary detention is ordered in a housing unit other than a designed disciplinary detention unit, the conditions of detention will be the same as prescribed for disciplinary detention units.
(c) Disciplinary detention may be ordered as a continuous period of confinement or as intermittent confinement on holidays, weekends or days off from assigned work and program activities. When ordered as intermittent confinement, confinement shall not exceed 10 days during a 35-day period. The chief disciplinary officer shall review the treatment of an inmate confined in disciplinary detention and consider a modification of sentence when evidence indicates the inmate is ready to conform to the rules.
(d) Time served in disciplinary detention will be computed on the basis of full days in detention. The day of placement and the day of release will not count as a day of time served. Intermittent detention may extend from the end of the work day before the first full day of detention to the beginning of the work day following the last full day of detention.
(e) Continuous disciplinary detention of an inmate shall not exceed 10 full days without approval of the director or deputy director, institutions.
(f) If an extension beyond 10 days is approved, the warden/superintendent shall note that fact in the disposition section of the rule violation report stating the reasons for the extension and the additional amount of time the inmate shall be confined, and shall sign and date the notation.
(g) A request for the director's approval to retain an inmate in disciplinary detention for longer than 30 days shall be accompanied by a current psychological evaluation of the inmate's mental health. Such evaluation shall include a personal interview with the inmate.
