It is the policy of the Rhode Island Department of Corrections (RIDOC) to maintain open communications with the public, news media, legislature, and other interested groups and individuals. The Department produces, maintains, and disseminates information to the public concerning its operations, programs, and services. The Department provides inmates with avenues to communicate with representatives of the media when appropriate. Access to RIDOC facilities may be limited to minimize the risk to security, protect the safety of individuals, and assure privacy interests protected by law. RIDOC encourages media reports to be sensitive to the feelings and needs of crime victims.
