ADMINISTRATIVE SEGREGATION

Administrative segregation shall consist of separate and secure housing but shall not involve any other loss of privileges, other than is necessary to protect inmates, staff, and maintain facility security.

Restrictive Housing

Restrictive Housing is defined as housing that requires an inmate to be confined to a cell at least 22 hours per day for the safe and secure operation of the facility.

Extended Restrictive Housing

Extended Restrictive Housing is defined as housing that separates the inmate from contact with general population while restricting the inmate to his/her cell for at least 22 hours per day and for more than 30 days for the safe and secure operation of the facility.

Protective Custody Housing

Protective Custody Housing is defined as housing that requires an inmate to be administratively segregated from the general population due to specific or vague threats against them or an affiliated group to which they identify. They may be "restricted" to a cell at least 22 hours per day for the safe and secure operation of the facility or they may be housed within a larger dorm or module style housing.

Discipline Housing

Discipline is a sub-set of administrative segregation and may require the inmate's privileges be temporarily suspended while serving their "discipline time." An inmate serving discipline may be "restricted" to their cell or it may be served within a dorm or module setting depending on the inmate's classification, availability of facility resources and other pertinent factors.
