(2) The inmate has a substantial disciplinary history consisting of no less than three (3) RHU terms within the past five (5) years and substantial justification for the need for continued RHU placement due to the inmate's ongoing threat to safety and security of the institution and/or others, and the inmate cannot be housed in less-restrictive housing; or
