Purpose


The purpose and effect of the proposed rules 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. The rules are also amended to provide that inmates in administrative and disciplinary confinement shall be allowed out of their cells to receive regularly scheduled mental health services unless the inmate has displayed hostile, threatening, or other behavior that could present a danger to others within the past four hours.
