Section 123-15-201 - Special kinds of problems

(a) If an offender wants to bring a problem to the attention of a higher authority without going through the regular grievance procedure, the offender may send a sealed letter or grievance report form to the facility's superintendent or the commissioner. The sealed letter shall contain the designation "official mail" on the outside of the envelope. This procedure shall be reserved for any problem for which resolution using the regular grievance procedure would not be effective due to the nature or sensitivity of the problem.

(b) Any complaint letter received by the commissioner or superintendent under this regulation may be returned to the offender with instructions to the offender to make use of and follow the proper grievance procedure if, in the recipient's opinion, the matter can be properly handled through the grievance procedure described in these regulations.

This regulation shall be effective on and after April 8, 2005.
