Current through May 31, 2024
(a) The superintendent shall establish
				  procedures by which residents may periodically make phone calls of a personal
				  nature. Residents must be allowed at least one phone call per week to their
				  families, and unlimited phone calls to their attorneys insofar as is
				  practicable given the availability of telephones and staff. Incoming calls to
				  residents from parents must be limited only to the extent that they do not
				  unduly interfere with use of telephones by other residents or with duties of
				  the staff.
(b) Long-distance phone
				  calls must be made collect. However, in unusual circumstances where a resident
				  could not otherwise communicate with the resident's family, the superintendent
				  may make money available to pay for one short phone call per week.
(c) Staff may not monitor resident phone
				  calls, except when authorized by the superintendent, who may give that
				  authorization only when the superintendent has reasonable grounds to believe
				  that the telephone communication will result in a clear and present danger to
				  the security of the facility or a victim or witness to the crime or to the
				  welfare of the resident. In such cases, the superintendent shall prepare a
				  brief memorandum stating the justification for this action, which must then be
				  placed in the resident's file and a copy sent to the director. Before a
				  resident's phone call may be monitored, a sign must be placed near the
				  resident's telephone advising that the conversation is subject to being
				  monitored if there exists reason to believe that the communication will result
				  in a clear and present danger to the security of the facility or a victim or
				  witness to the crime or to the resident's welfare.
