To ensure the orderly functioning of institutions and the safety of inmates and staff through the establishment and enforcement of rules governing inmate conduct.
C. Every member of staff; employees of the Arkansas Department of Correction School District and Riverside Vo-Tech; and authorized agents of the Arkansas Department of Correction, such as staff of the medical services contractor, contract mental health and substance abuse staff, are vested with the authority and responsibility to see that the rules are followed.
D. Procedures are established in the Inmate Discipline Manual for notification of an alleged infraction and for fair and impartial determination as to fact and responsibility in a venue in which the charged inmate has the opportunity to present evidence, including witness statements. Should there be a demonstrable need, a counsel substitute and/or interpreter may be provided to ensure that the inmate fully understands the procedures.
F. Ranges of penalties associated with findings of guilt, and interventions such as referral for treatment, are stated in association with each rule in the Inmate Discipline Manual. Generally, the severity of the penalty is correlated with the seriousness of the conduct and the frequency of repetition of rule infractions.
