Section 68-6-007 - Institutional Disciplinary Committee or Hearing Officer

The Warden shall establish one or more disciplinary committees. The Warden may appoint a single hearing officer in lieu of a "committee" and where the term "committee" is used herein it refers to individual hearing officers as well as committees composed of two or more members. To the extent possible, a person representing the treatment or counseling staff of the facility shall participate as a member of the facility disciplinary committees. No person shall maintain a position on a disciplinary committee during a hearing if that person has first-hand knowledge of the charges brought against the accused inmate, either as an eyewitness or as the reporting officer or investigating officer. However, an employee may be a member of a disciplinary committee when the incident is so widely witnessed that virtually every employee has witnessed it in whole or in part. Records of disciplinary proceedings shall be maintained in the inmate's institutional file unless dismissed on appeal.
