Summary


Rulemaking was initiated for 33-602.210 to add the definition of various terms used in this rule; to require the inclusion of certain de-escalation information on the video of an organized use of force involving inmates who are classified as S-2 or higher; to remove several forms that are incorporated in the rule; to require de-escalation efforts be made to prevent an organized use of force on inmates classified as S-2 or higher; to designate an inmate’s refusal to relinquish control of the cell’s food flap as a situation that would give rise to an organized use of force subject to certain requirements; to allow for the use of non-deadly force to reasonably restrain an inmate to permit the administration of necessary mental health treatment; to align the justifications for use of force better with applicable statutory provisions; and to make several other changes suggested by the ACA. Rules 33-602.211 and 33-602.212 are being amended to remove references to a form that is being removed from 33-602.210.
