Cal. Code Regs. tit. 15 § 3332

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 23, June 7, 2024
Section 3332 - Administration and Supervision of Detention Units
(a) Plan of Operation. Each warden and superintendent will establish and maintain a plan of operations for the disciplinary detention of inmates, whether in a unit or section of a unit designated for this specific purpose or in conjunction with other special purpose housing of inmates. Such plans will conform to the provisions of this article and will be updated as necessary to reflect current procedures and practices. A copy of the plan will be submitted to the director for review and approval annually, as scheduled for required plans.
(b) Administration and Supervision. The administration of disciplinary detention units may be delegated to a staff member at not less than the level of captain. The supervision of disciplinary detention units may be assigned to a staff member at not less than the level of correctional sergeant.
(c) Visitation. Inmates assigned to disciplinary detention units will be visited daily by the supervisor in charge of the unit and by an institution physician, registered nurse or a medical technical assistant. An inmate's request to be visited by other staff will be promptly referred to the staff member. A timely response should be given to such requests whenever reasonably possible.
(d) Supervisor's Responsibilities. The supervisor in charge of a disciplinary detention unit is responsible for the physical security of the unit, the control of contraband within the unit, and for safe, sanitary and decent working and living conditions within the unit. When any condition within the unit or the behavior, conduct or appearance of any inmate confined therein appears to warrant the attention of specific or specialized staff, the matter will be promptly brought to the attention of appropriate staff.
(e) Suicide Risks. Inmates undergoing disciplinary detention who are diagnosed by qualified medical staff as a suicide risk will be moved to a hospital setting, and medical staff will assume responsibility for such placement and for observation and supervision of the inmate. Such movement and supervision will be in cooperation and coordination with custody staff.
(f) Disciplinary Detention Records.
(1) A Disciplinary Detention Log, CDC Form 114, will be maintained in each designated disciplinary detention unit. Specific information required in this log will be kept current on a daily and shift or watch basis. A completed log book will be retained in the unit for as long as any inmate recorded on the last page of that log remains in the unit. Storage and purging of log books will be in accordance with department schedules. One disciplinary detention/restricted housing log may serve a disciplinary detention unit and other restricted housing units which are combined and are administered and supervised by the same staff members.
(2) A separate record will be maintained on each inmate undergoing disciplinary detention. This record will be compiled on automated Restricted Housing Record (Rev. 11/23), which is incorporated by reference. In addition to the identifying information required on the form, all significant information relating to the inmate during the course of detention, from reception to release, will be entered on the form in chronological order.
