Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) Plan of
					 Operation. Each warden and superintendent will establish and maintain a plan of
					 operations for the disciplinary detention of inmates, whether in a unit or section
					 of a unit designated for this specific purpose or in conjunction with other special
					 purpose housing of inmates. Such plans will conform to the provisions of this
					 article and will be updated as necessary to reflect current procedures and
					 practices. A copy of the plan will be submitted to the director for review and
					 approval annually, as scheduled for required plans.
(b) Administration and Supervision. The
					 administration of disciplinary detention units may be delegated to a staff member at
					 not less than the level of captain. The supervision of disciplinary detention units
					 may be assigned to a staff member at not less than the level of correctional
					 sergeant.
(c) Visitation. Inmates
					 assigned to disciplinary detention units will be visited daily by the supervisor in
					 charge of the unit and by an institution physician, registered nurse or a medical
					 technical assistant. An inmate's request to be visited by other staff will be
					 promptly referred to the staff member. A timely response should be given to such
					 requests whenever reasonably possible.
(d) Supervisor's Responsibilities. The supervisor
					 in charge of a disciplinary detention unit is responsible for the physical security
					 of the unit, the control of contraband within the unit, and for safe, sanitary and
					 decent working and living conditions within the unit. When any condition within the
					 unit or the behavior, conduct or appearance of any inmate confined therein appears
					 to warrant the attention of specific or specialized staff, the matter will be
					 promptly brought to the attention of appropriate staff.
(e) Suicide Risks. Inmates undergoing disciplinary
					 detention who are diagnosed by qualified medical staff as a suicide risk will be
					 moved to a hospital setting, and medical staff will assume responsibility for such
					 placement and for observation and supervision of the inmate. Such movement and
					 supervision will be in cooperation and coordination with custody staff.
(f) Disciplinary Detention Records.
(1) A Disciplinary Detention Log, CDC Form 114,
					 will be maintained in each designated disciplinary detention unit. Specific
					 information required in this log will be kept current on a daily and shift or watch
					 basis. A completed log book will be retained in the unit for as long as any inmate
					 recorded on the last page of that log remains in the unit. Storage and purging of
					 log books will be in accordance with department schedules. One disciplinary
					 detention/restricted housing log may serve a disciplinary detention unit and other
					 restricted housing units which are combined and are administered and supervised by
					 the same staff members.
(2) A separate
					 record will be maintained on each inmate undergoing disciplinary detention. This
					 record will be compiled on automated Restricted Housing Record (Rev. 11/23), which
					 is incorporated by reference. In addition to the identifying information required on
					 the form, all significant information relating to the inmate during the course of
					 detention, from reception to release, will be entered on the form in chronological
					 order.
