Purpose
The purpose and effect of the proposed amendments to Rule 33-601.307 is to add form references and to allow disciplinary hearings relating to inmate escapes to be held in an inmate’s absence in order to assess a gain time penalty if applicable. The amendment is necessary to prevent escaped inmates from reaching the end of their sentences prior to a disciplinary hearing relating to the escape. The purpose and effect of the proposed amendment to Rule 33-601.604 is to provide for a hearing to determine whether or not time at liberty should be counted towards time served when an inmate is erroneously released from custody by another jurisdiction that is not at fault for the release.
