33-602.220: Administrative Confinement
33-602.222: Disciplinary Confinement
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of the proposed rule is to allow routine 30 minute checks to be entered on the Housing Unit Log rather than the Inspection of Housing Record. This prevents the Inspection of Housing Record from becoming cluttered with routine checks, making it more difficult to monitor other required visits and inspections.
SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: Visits to administrative and disciplinary confinement.
SPECIFIC AUTHORITY: 944.09 FS.
LAW IMPLEMENTED: 20.315. 944.09, 945.04 FS.
