Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) The department will provide each AIC,
			 upon request by the AIC, a single paper copy of that AIC's healthcare record
			 established under OAR
			 291-124-0075. The free copy
			 provided in this rule is limited to only paper records that may be readily
			 photocopied, and will not include, among other records, electronic documents,
			 x-ray film, oversized records (exceeding 11 inches in width or 17 inches in
			 length, or both), or other non-paper records.
(a) An AIC may obtain a free copy of the
			 healthcare records provided under this rule by submitting a written request to
			 a Medical Services Manager or institution medical records specialist. A former
			 AIC, within one year from release from DOC custody, may request the free copy
			 provided under this rule by submitting a written request to Paroled Medical
			 Records staff. In a written request under this rule, the AIC may request a
			 complete copy of all paper records. The AIC must include with that written
			 request an authorization to disclose protected health information that complies
			 with ORS 179.505(3) and,
			 when necessary, ORS 192.566.
(b) The free copy provided in this rule will
			 be provided only to the AIC, is not subject to the disclosure timeline provided
			 in ORS 179.505(9)(a)
			 and will be provided only after the department has waived fees the department
			 may otherwise charge under ORS
			 192.563. Nothing in this rule
			 shall be construed as limiting an AIC to separately obtain healthcare records
			 under ORS 179.505, subject to an
			 obligation to pay charges authorized under ORS
			 192.563, or to obtain a copy of
			 healthcare records as provided under ORS
			 192.576.
(c) An AIC who has previously obtained a free
			 copy of any paper records under this rule may make additional requests for
			 paper records that the AIC has not previously requested under this rule. For
			 example, an AIC may submit a request for paper records the AIC did not request
			 in a prior request under this rule, or an AIC may request new or updated
			 records created since the AIC's prior request under this rule.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision in
			 this rule, the AIC will remain responsible for following any administrative
			 rules and institutional limits on the storage of paper records, including any
			 limits on the number of paper records that may be physically stored within a
			 cell or designated storage areas. The AIC will remain responsible for any
			 postage or shipping costs necessary to mail any records out of a correctional
			 facility in order to comply with any applicable storage limits.

			 establish Department policy and procedures regarding inmate visitation, and the
			 administration of visitation programming in the Department of Corrections

			 Department's correctional goals and mission and is consistent with the safe,
			 secure and orderly management and operation of the facility.

			 relationships between families and inmates and sees inmate visitation as a
			 positive means to strengthen ties and increase the likelihood of success upon

			 application prior to, on, and after the effective date of the rule.

			 inspection or separate processing.

			 have body piercings or undergarments with metal clasps or adjusters often alarm
			 metal detectors and may delay or even prevent visiting. Visitors may be asked
			 to remove body piercings or excessive jewelry to expedite the screening
			 process.

			 purposes, initial screening of visitors will be done by metal detector. For
			 most visitors, successfully completing the scan by metal detector and the

			 visitors must successfully pass through the detector unless a visitor has a
			 documented medical condition or disability that would prevent the visitor from
			 passing through the detector.

(1) Visitors with
			 documentation regarding a medical condition or disability shall present this
			 information to staff to help inform staff of the visitor's circumstances. This
			 documentation will not exempt the visitor from the security screening process.
(2) Medical devices and
			 medications necessary for a visitor's health (e.g. inhalers, nitroglycerin) may
			 be brought into the facility and left at the visiting officer's desk.
(3) Visitors with a medical device
			 (e.g. pacemaker, defibrillator, device that operates under magnetic
			 calibration, metal implants, wheelchair, bone growth stimulator, or other
			 internal or external medical device) should check with their doctor prior to
			 arriving at the facility to determine if it is safe to go through the metal
			 detector or be hand-wanded.
(4)
			 Visitors must provide proper documentation of a disability, medical condition
			 or medical device that would prevent their passing through a walk-through metal
			 detector, hand-wanding or both. Visitors with proper documentation will be
			 offered a clothed search as an alternative.

			 the Department of Corrections recommends but does not require a visitor to
			 advise staff that they have a pacemaker, implanted medical device, or metal
			 implant and where that implant is located.
(6) Staff will need to resolve all security
			 alarms associated with metal implants. Most alarms will be able to be resolved
			 during a clothed search and should not typically require the lifting or removal
			 of clothing.
(7) A modified
			 clothed search will be used for visitors confined to wheelchairs or electric
			 scooters as the reliability of hand-held metal detectors is limited by the
			 structure of the chair itself. Visitors in wheelchairs or electric scooters
			 shall limit their accessories and personal possessions to only those items
			 medically necessary and allowed within this rule during the visiting session.
(8) If a visitor chooses not to
			 consent to a clothed search, the visit may not be allowed.
(9) Should a visitor withdraw consent at any
			 time once a search, of any kind, has been initiated, the searching officer
			 shall discontinue the search immediately. The visit will not be allowed.
