INMATE GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

Overview

RULE:

33-103.001

Inmate Grievances - General Policy

PURPOSE:

The purpose and effect of the proposed amendment is to make it clearer to both inmates and Department staff that “grievances” that violate Rule 33-602.203(7), F.A.C., “Control of Contraband,” will not be treated as grievances, but as contraband.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule will add a new subsection (3), stating clearly that if an inmate submits what purports to be a grievance, but that violates Rule 33-602.203(7), Control of Contraband, such “grievance” shall constitute and be treated as contraband, will not be returned to the inmate, and will constitute no part of the grievance process.  Moreover, the issue of such “grievances” shall be reported by staff through the appropriate channels.
