Section 10A:5-9.1 - Criteria for assigning inmates to the Restorative Housing Unit (R.H.U.)

(a) An inmate who is found guilty of committing one or more of the prohibited acts in Category A or B, as set forth at N.J.A.C. 10A:4-4.1(a)1 and 2 shall be subject to disciplinary action and one or more sanctions imposed by a Disciplinary Hearing Officer. Sanctions imposed for a finding of guilt for the prohibited acts in Categories A and/or B are the most serious and may include removal from general population and assignment to a Restorative Housing Unit (R.H.U.) in addition to other sanctions as may be deemed necessary by the Disciplinary Hearing Officer and/or Administrator. However, where a medical or mental health professional has made a determination that the inmate is not appropriate for placement in an R.H.U., the inmate may receive one or more of the less restrictive sanctions listed at N.J.A.C. 10A:4-5.1(d) and (e).

(b) Repeat occurrences of a specific infraction(s) are addressed at N.J.A.C. 10A:4-5.1(d) and may include removal from general population and assignment to a Restorative Housing Unit (R.H.U.).
