Overview

RULE:

33-601.311

Inmate Discipline - Miscellaneous Provisions

PURPOSE:

The purpose and effect of the proposed rule is to provide for the transfer of an inmate awaiting a disciplinary hearing. Where circumstances dictate, an inmate may be immediately transferred before disciplinary hearings are held. The amendment recognizes that, although it is preferable to hold a hearing on disciplinary action prior to transfer, this is not always possible in a dynamic prison setting.  The change allows the department flexibility to properly utilize available prison space in the most cost efficient manner.

SUMMARY:

The rule amendment allows the department the flexibility to transfer an inmate, even though the inmate may be awaiting a disciplinary hearing, where circumstances dictate this action in order to properly utilize available prison space in the most cost efficient manner.
