§ 3220.4. Movies or Videos for Inmate Viewing.
(b) Only those movies or videos which have been given a rating of “G,” “PG,” or “PG-13” by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) or that have been placed on the department's discretionary showing list may be considered for viewing. Movies or videos which have been given a rating of other than “G,” “PG,” or “PG-13” by the Motion Picture Association of America shall not be approved for general inmate viewing. Regardless of their rating or listing, movies or videos which, in the opinion of the reviewer, glorify violence or sex, or are inflammatory to the climate of the facility shall not be shown.
(c) The selection or exclusion of a movie or video by a facility may be challenged by members of the public by writing to the director, grieved by inmates by following the administrative remedies procedures as stated in section 3480 et seq., and grieved by staff by pursuing grievance procedures in accordance with their collective bargaining unit's contract or memorandum of understanding.
(2) Movies or videos which have an MPAA rating of other than “G,” “PG,” or “PG-13,” or have not been rated by the MPAA, may be submitted to the director by the facility reviewer or a contract vendor for the committee's consideration for specified limited inmate viewing purposes (e.g., education or contracted service vendor programs).
(f) The committee will place movies or videos on a statewide “discretionary showing list” under the category of “approved for all purposes,” or under the category of “approved for specified limited inmate viewing purposes” (specifying the limited or special purpose for which the movie is being approved), or under the category of “unacceptable for inmate viewing.” A movie or video's placement on the list as approved will not require that it be shown by a facility.
