(1) Inmates serving an indeterminate term of imprisonment of 15 years-to-life, or 25 years-to-life shall not be entitled to waive their right to behavior and participation credits to earn Penal Code section 2933 worktime credits to reduce their minimum eligible parole dates. (2) Inmates sentenced under Penal Code section 190 to an indeterminate term of imprisonment of 15 years-to-life or 25 years-to-life received by the department prior to May 27, 1987, who waived their right to behavior and participation credits shall not be entitled to earn Penal Code section 2933 worktime credits after February 15, 1989 to reduce their minimum eligible parole date. (b) All credit attributable to the portion of the inmate’s sentence served prior to the effective date of the waiver shall be retained by the inmate unless such credit has been forfeited for a disciplinary offense.

Such credit must be earned and will be awarded only after it is earned. This waiver will be effective only when accepted by the Department. I am also aware that this waiver is irrevocable.

The confidential mail privilege may be a statewide suspension for any offense that could be prosecuted as a felony. Only the Director of the DAI or designee shall issue a statewide suspension of confidential mail privileges. (c) Upon determining that the envelope contains prohibited material or that there is a misrepresentation of the sender’s or the addressee’s identity the letter and any enclosures may be examined and read in its entirety to determine the most appropriate of the following actions: (1) When the prohibited material or misrepresentation of identity indicates a violation of the law or an intent to violate the law, the matter will be referred to the appropriate criminal authorities for possible prosecution. Any case referred to criminal authorities 3142. Processing of Outgoing Confidential Mail.

If no prohibited material is discovered, the contents shall be returned to the envelope and sealed. Staff shall place their signature, badge number and date across the sealed area on the back of the envelope. Staff shall then deposit the confidential mail in the appropriate depository. (e) If prohibited material is found in the confidential mail, the prohibited material shall be confiscated; however, the letter may be returned to the inmate or mailed following the process outlined above. If the prohibited material indicates a violation of the law or intent to violate the law, the matter may be referred to the appropriate authorities for possible prosecution. Administrative and/or disciplinary action shall also be taken against all parties involved. NOTE: Authority cited: Section 5058, Penal Code. Reference: Section 2601, Penal Code. HISTORY: 1.

The inmate is entitled to keep the letter or correspondence and the envelope it came in. (c) Any person who examines the content of mail under the authority of this article or in connection with an appeal by an inmate of a ruling under this article, must keep the content of the material which was examined in strict confidence. No original, copy, excerpt, or summary of personal correspondence to or from an inmate shall be made or be placed in an inmate’s C-file unless such correspondence is or has been the subject of: (1) Legal, disciplinary, criminal investigation, or casework determination and actions affecting the inmate.

The purpose of this section is to set forth Department of Corrections policy governing the use of force. The policy has its foundation in California Penal Code statutes and relevant case decisions. (a) Definitions. (1) Reasonable Force: The force that an objective, trained and competent correctional employee, faced with similar facts and circumstances, would consider necessary and reasonable to subdue an attacker, overcome resistance, effect custody, or gain compliance with a lawful order. (2) Unnecessary Force: 3265. Arts and Crafts Exhibits. (a) The public may be permitted to attend displays of inmatemade articles provided: (1) Facility security shall not be jeopardized. (2) Adequate facilities and staff are available to control against unauthorized visiting and introduction of contraband. (3) The activity does not interfere with the normal facility operation. NOTE: Authority cited: section 5058, Penal Code. Reference: section 5054, Penal Code. 108 TITLE 15 DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION § 3268.2 (2) The employee’s immediate supervisor shall review the document to ensure that it is adequately prepared and to reach a judgment concerning the appropriateness of the force used. The supervisor shall document his or her conclusions and forward them with the employee’s document through the designated chain of command, to the institution head for approval or follow-up action. (b) Reporting Deadly Force. (1) An employee who uses deadly force, whether on or off duty, shall ensure that a supervisory employee is notified of the incident without delay. (2) The supervisor shall ensure that the chain of command is notified and all necessary health and safety, medical and security measures are initiated. If the incident is in an institution/facility, the supervisor shall go to the location and ensure that the scene is protected. (3) The Assistant Director, Office of Internal Affairs, or designee shall designate an employee to be in charge of the investigation. The employee shall go to and take charge of the scene. The employee shall assemble the appropriate investigative staff and ensure that all necessary investigative procedures and coordination with affected law enforcement entities are accomplished. The product of the investigation will be a report to the Director with conclusions concerning the extent to which the use of force did or did not comply with the law. However, when the deadly force is used in the community, local law enforcement shall take charge of the scene. (4) A Deadly Force Review Board (DFRB) shall be convened as soon as possible after the investigation is completed. (A) The Director or designee shall designate the members of the DFRB. (B) The DFRB shall be composed of at least four members. Three shall be non-departmental law enforcement professionals. One shall be either a Regional Administrator or a Regional Parole Administrator outside the region or jurisdiction where the deadly force was used. Additional members may be designated by the Director or designee. (C) The DFRB shall examine all aspects of the incident to determine the extent to which the use of force complied with departmental policies and procedures, and to determine the need for policy, training and/or equipment modifications. The DFRB shall report its findings, in writing, to the Director for approval or follow-up action. The use of force when none is required or appropriate. (3) Excessive Force: The use of more force than is objectively reasonable to accomplish a lawful purpose. (4) Non-Deadly Force: Any use of force that is not likely to result in death. (5) Deadly Force: Any use of force that is likely to result in death. (6) Use of Force Options: (A) The choices available to an employee when selecting a reasonable force option. (B) The choices include, but are not necessarily limited to: verbal persuasion or orders; physical strength and holds; chemical agents and/or other immobilization devices; handheld batons; less-lethal weapons or firearms. (1.) For the purposes of this section, a ‘‘less-lethal weapon’’ includes the 37 mm launcher and any other weapon when used to fire less-lethal projectiles. (2.) For the purposes of this section, a ‘‘firearm’’ is a weapon used to fire lethal projectiles. (b) It is the policy of the Department of Corrections to accomplish the custodial and correctional functions with minimal reliance on the use of force. Employees may use reasonable force as required in the performance of their duties, but unnecessary or excessive force shall not be used. (c) The Department of Corrections recognizes the sanctity of human life. Therefore, deadly force will only be used when it is the reasonable force, as defined in section 3268(a)(1), and is needed to: (1) Defend the employee or other persons from an immediate threat of death or great bodily injury. (A) For the purposes of this section, ‘‘great bodily injury’’ means an injury that creates a substantial risk of death. (2) Prevent an escape from custody. (3) Stop acts such as riots or arson that constitute an immediate jeopardy to institutional security and, because of their magnitude, are likely to result in escapes or the death of other persons. (4) Dispose of seriously injured or dangerous animals when no other disposition is practical. (d) A firearm shall not be discharged if there is reason to believe that persons other than the intended target will be injured. (e) Firearms may be discharged as a warning only in an institutional/facility setting and only when deadly force is permitted under section 3268(c). NOTE: Authority cited: section 5058, Penal Code.

(a) Mechanical means of physical restraint may be used only under the following circumstances: (1) When transporting a person between locations. (2) When a person’s history, present behavior, apparent emotional state, or other conditions present a reasonable likelihood that he or she may become violent or attempt to escape. (3) When directed by medical staff, to prevent a person from attempting suicide or inflicting injury to himself or herself. (b) Mechanical restraints shall not be: (1) Used as punishment. (2) Placed around a person’s neck. 3268.1. Reporting and Investigating the Use of Force. (a) Reporting Non-Deadly Force. (1) An employee who uses or observes non-deadly force greater than verbal persuasion to overcome resistance or gain compliance with an order shall document that fact. The document shall identify any witnesses to the incident and describe the circumstances giving rise to the use of force, and the nature and extent of the force used. The employee shall provide the document to his or her immediate supervisor. 109 § 3269 DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION volved in the review and approval of an inmate’s housing assignment must evaluate all factors to be considered, including but not limited to: • Length of sentence. • Enemies and victimization history. • Criminal influence demonstrated over other inmates. • Reason(s) for prior segregation. • History of ‘‘S’’ suffix determination pursuant to CCR subsection 3371.1(c). • History of in-cell assaults and/or violence. • Prison gang or disruptive group affiliation and/or association. • Nature of commitment offense. • Documented reports from prior cellmate(s) that the inmate intimidated, threatened, forced, and/or harassed him or her for sex. • Documentation that the cellmate(s) refused to return to a cell occupied by the inmate because of fear, threats, or abuse perpetrated by the inmate. • Documentation that the inmate has been the victim of a sexual assault. • Adjudicated Department Rules Violations Reports (RVR) where the inmate was found guilty as a perpetrator in an act of physical abuse, sexual abuse, sodomy, or other act of force against a cellmate. (b) The screening authority shall complete a CDCR Form 1882 (rev. 2/07), Initial Housing Review, stating if the inmate is suitable for dorm/cell housing with or without special restrictions. Restrictions are any case factors which may limit the inmate’s housing placement options such as, but not limited to: • Security issues including ASU and SHU placement. • Request for Protective Custody. • Medical or mental health issues. • Integrated Housing Code. Staff shall ensure that the housing policies regarding special category inmates covered under specific litigation remain in place during the housing assignment. (c) Upon placement in an ASU or SHU, inmates shall be screened for an appropriate cell assignment using the same criteria as inmates being screened for housing in the general population. The reason for ASU or SHU placement shall also be taken into consideration. Based on available information and the inmate interview, the screening authority shall determine if the inmate is suitable for single or double celled housing, and shall complete a CDC Form 114-A1 (rev. 10/98), Inmate Segregation Profile. Unless approved for single cell assignment, an inmate in ASU or SHU is expected to share a cell with another inmate. (d) Single cell status shall be considered for those inmates who demonstrate a history of in-cell abuse, significant in-cell violence towards a cell partner, verification of predatory behavior towards a cell partner, or who have been victimized in-cell by another inmate. Staff shall consider the inmate’s pattern of behavior, not just an isolated incident. An act of mutual combat in itself does not warrant single cell status. The following factors must be considered when evaluating single cell status, noting these factors are not exclusive of other considerations: (1) Predatory behavior is characterized by aggressive, repeated attempts to physically or sexually abuse another inmate. (2) Documented and verified instances of being a victim of in-cell physical or sexual abuse by another inmate. (e) Should the screening authority determine that single cell designation is appropriate, the inmate’s case factors shall be reviewed by a classification committee for determination of appropriate housing and designation for an ‘‘S’’ suffix. A classification committee may consider whether an inmate with single cell designation has since proven capable of being double-celled. (f) In cases where single cell status is recommended by clinical staff due to mental health or medical concerns, a classification committee shall make the final determination of an inmate’s cell (3) Applied in a way likely to cause undue physical discomfort or restrict blood flow or breathing. e.g., hog-tying. (4) Used to secure a person to a fixed object except, as a temporary emergency measure. However, a person who is being transported shall not be locked in any manner to any part of the transporting vehicle. (5) Placed on an inmate during labor, including during transport to a hospital, during delivery, and while in recovery after giving birth, unless circumstances exist that require the immediate application of mechanical restraints to avoid the imminent threat of death, escape, or great bodily injury, and only for the period during which such threat exists. (c) When mechanical restraint is required, handcuffs, alone or attached to a waist chain, will be the means of restraint normally used. However, additional mechanical restraint, including leg irons, additional chains, straight jackets, leather cuffs, or other specialized restraint equipment may be used when the circumstances indicate the need for the level of control that such devices will provide. (d) Use of mechanical restraints on inmates confirmed, or suspected by health care staff to be pregnant shall be subject to the following requirements: (1) No leg restraints or waist chains shall be applied. (2) If handcuffs are applied, the inmate’s arms shall be brought to the front of her body for application. (3) When transporting a pregnant inmate off grounds, the application of restraint gear shall be restricted to handcuffs to the front of the inmate only. If the pregnant inmate is in labor, the rules provided in subsection 3268.2(b)(5) shall also be followed. (e) Use of restraint equipment by direction of medical staff shall be fully documented in the institution medical file of the restrained inmate. NOTE: Authority cited: Section 5058, Penal Code.

Inmate Housing Assignments. Inmates shall accept Inmate Housing Assignments (IHAs) as directed by staff. It is the expectation that all inmates double cell, whether being housed in a Reception Center, General Population (GP), an Administrative Segregation Unit (ASU), a Security Housing Unit (SHU), or specialty housing unit. If staff determines an inmate is suitable for double celling, based on the criteria as set forth in this section, the inmate shall accept the housing assignment or be subject to disciplinary action for refusing. IHAs shall be made on the basis of available documentation and individual case factors. Inmates are not entitled to single cell assignment, housing location of choice, or to a cellmate of their choice. (a) Upon arrival at an institution, facility, or program reception center, a designated custody supervisor shall screen an inmate for an appropriate housing assignment. The screening authority in- 110 TITLE 15 DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION § 3269.1 inmate’s Annual Review, or as case factors may change, and adjusted as necessary. An IHC that may be assigned are detailed as follows: (1) RE, Racially Eligible. An inmate that has not been a victim or perpetrator of a racially motivated crime and can live with members of any race. It is the expectation of the department that all inmates will be coded RE, unless certain case factors dictate otherwise. (2) RP, Restricted Partially. An inmate that may be considered ineligible to live with inmates of a particular race. Ineligibility to live with someone of another race could be based on a racially motivated incident, where racial beliefs or attitudes were the cause of the incident. (3) RO, Restricted to Own (Race). An inmate that has been the victim and/or perpetrator of a racially motivated crime. Inmates who are coded RO Restricted to Own will not be precluded from integration in other aspects of institutional operation, such as a school or work assignment. Inmates coded as RO are not precluded from racially integrated housing for the entire duration of their sentence. (4) RT, Restricted Temporarily by Custody. Inmates with insufficient information or documentation for the designated custody supervisor to make an objective determination shall be coded RT for Restricted Temporarily by Custody. This code may be used when conflicting information arrives with the inmate or when questionable statements or behavior by the inmate are observed that are not consistent with the inmate’s claim of eligibility. (5) RR, Restricted by Refusal. Inmate is otherwise eligible for integrated housing but refuses to participate. Refusal to accept an integrated housing assignment, when all available documentation and information does not preclude such, shall result in disciplinary action with the potential to be housed in alternative and more restrictive housing, such as an Administrative Segregation Unit (ASU) or a Security Housing Unit (SHU). (c) Inmates arriving in a facility Receiving and Release will be interviewed in accordance with the established process for intake. The designated custody supervisor will use the information provided during the interview as well as the supporting documents received to determine the inmate’s eligibility for an integrated housing assignment. (d) New arrivals at a facility or inmates who require a bed assignment change will be housed in the first available and appropriate bed, taking into consideration all relevant case factors. Staff will also consider other available information that would indicate or present an immediate risk or safety concern for the inmate such as, but not limited to: (1) Security issues including ASU placement. (2) SHU. (3) Request for Protective Custody. (4) Prison gang or disruptive group affiliation or association. (5) Medical or mental health issues. (6) Length of term. (7) Height, weight, and age. Staff will continue to ensure that current housing policies regarding special category inmates covered under specific litigation remain in place during the housing process. (e) If an inmate refuses to be housed in appropriately determined housing, he shall be subject to the disciplinary process, with the potential to be housed in alternative and more restrictive housing. Refusal to participate will result in the issuance of a Rules Violation Report (RVR) for Conduct, section 3005(c), Obeying Orders, for the Specific Act of Willfully Resisting, Delaying, or Obstructing any Peace Officer in the Performance of Duty (CCR subsection 3323(f)(6)), and shall be considered after the first RVR for placement in more restrictive housing such as an ASU or a SHU. At any time during this process the inmate may elect to participate in the IHP. assignment. The classification committee shall consider the clinical recommendations made by the evaluating clinician with assistance from the clinician who participates in the committee and review the inmate’s case factors when determining the housing assignment. Single cell status based upon clinical recommendation is usually a temporary short-term measure and must be periodically reviewed, minimally at an inmate’s annual review or more frequently at the inmate’s/clinician’s request. (g) If an inmate refuses to be housed as determined to be appropriate to this section, the inmate shall be subject to the disciplinary process, with the potential to be housed in alternative and more restrictive housing. Refusal to participate will result in the issuance of a Rules Violation Report (RVR) for Conduct, subsection 3005(c), Refusing to Accept Assigned Housing, for the Specific Act of Willfully Resisting, Delaying, or Obstructing any Peace Officer in the performance of Duty (CCR subsection 3323(f)(6)). Subsequent acts of the above listed offense will result in the issuance of additional disciplinary reports and consideration for placement in more restrictive housing such as an ASU or a SHU.

An inmate’s race will not be used as a primary determining factor in housing an institution’s inmate population. Inmate housing assignments shall be made on the basis of available documentation and individual case factors to implement an Integrated Housing Policy (IHP). Individual case factors include, but are not limited to, such factors as: (1) History of racial violence. (2) Commitment offense/time to serve. (3) Classification score. (4) Custody level. (5) Education. (6) Disciplinary history. The IHP is set forth in these regulations. Housing assignments will be determined in a manner that will ensure that the safety, security, treatment, and rehabilitative needs of the inmate are considered, as well as the safety and security of the public, staff and institutions. Upon adoption of these regulations in 2007, the department will begin to update a computer tracking system to include the assignment of an Integrated Housing Code (IHC) as set forth in subsection (b) that will be used to identify each inmate’s ability to integrate. On January 1, 2008, actual implementation of the IHP will commence at designated facilities. On January 1, 2009, the IHP will begin to be implemented at all remaining institutions. (a) The department’s housing protocol will require male inmates to be housed in an appropriate bed, based on each inmate’s Integrated Housing Code (IHC) and/or individual case factors. The department will utilize a computer tracking system to identify, track, and monitor an inmate’s eligibility to integrate when being housed. (b) Based on a review of an inmate’s individual case factors and a personal interview with an inmate, an IHC will be assigned. The appropriateness of an inmate’s IHC will be assessed at least at an 111 § 3270 DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION (f) Disciplinary restrictions will be applied as a result of a disciplinary process where inmates are afforded due process. The suspension of privileges based on a finding of guilt in a disciplinary hearing shall be assessed as set for the in CCR subsections 3315(f)(5)(M)1. and (M)2. (g) In the event that facility management determines that a temporary suspension of assignments within a unit to integrated beds is warranted, the Warden or designee shall request approval from their mission based Associate Director for a temporary suspension of integrated housing assignments consistent with the lockdown and modified program. Regular housing assignment procedures shall be resumed in accordance with the Integrated Housing policy upon resolution of the incident. 2.

The senior custodial officer on duty may temporarily increase the custodial classification of an inmate at any time he or she believes such action is necessary to protect the security and good order of the institution. Such action is subject to classification committee review at the next regular meeting. Any reduction of an inmate’s custody classification must be by classification committee action. Comment: Former DP-4203, custody classification. Security 3270. General Policy. The primary objectives of the correctional institutions are to protect the public by safely keeping persons committed to the custody of the Director of Corrections, and to afford such persons with every reasonable opportunity and encouragement to participate in rehabilitative activities. Consistent effort will be made to insure the security of the institution and the effectiveness of the treatment programs within the framework of security and safety. Each employee must be trained to understand how physical facilities, degree of custody classification, personnel, and operative procedures affect the maintenance of inmate custody and security. The requirement of custodial security and of staff, inmate and public safety must take precedence over all other considerations in the operation of all the programs and activities of the institutions of the department.

Cell, Property and Body Inspections. (a) Insofar as possible, a cell, room, or dormitory bed area and locker will be thoroughly inspected immediately upon its vacancy and again, if there is a significant time lapse, before another inmate is assigned to the same cell, room or dormitory bed and locker. Such inspections are required and must be recorded for segregation, isolation and security housing unit cells. The purpose of such inspections is to fix responsibility or the absence of responsibility for security and safety hazards and serious contraband found in the cell, room or dormitory area. (1) Occupied cells, rooms and dormitory areas, including fixtures and lockers, and any personal and state-issued property of the occupant will be inspected on an infrequent and unscheduled basis. More frequent inspections will be conducted in specialized housing units, depending upon the security requirements of the unit and the risk an individual inmate presents to that security. (2) Cell and property inspections are necessary in order to detect and control serious contraband and to maintain institution security. Such inspections will not be used as a punitive measure nor to harass an inmate. Every reasonable precaution will be taken to avoid damage to personal property and to leave the inmate’s quarters and property in good order upon completion of the inspection. (3) An inmate’s presence is not required during routine inspections of living quarters and property when the inmate is not or would not otherwise be present. During special inspections or searches initiated because the inmate is suspected of having a specific item or items of contraband in his or her quarters or property, the inmate should be permitted to observe the search when it is reasonably possible and safe to do so. (4) The inmate will be given a written notice for any item(s) of personal and authorized state-issued property removed from his or her quarters during an inspection and the disposition made of such property. The notice will also list any contraband picked up or any breach of security noted during the inspection, and the follow-up action intended by the inspecting officer. (b) An inmate is subject to an inspection of his or her person, either clothed or unclothed, when there is a substantial reason to 3283. Unauthorized Persons. Persons must not be permitted to be on institution grounds or in community correctional centers without a legitimate purpose for being there, nor shall persons be allowed to contact inmates without authorization to do so. Comment: Former DP-4214, unauthorized persons. 3284. Unattended Vehicles.

Comment: Former DP-4215, unattended vehicles. 116 TITLE 15 DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION believe the inmate may have unauthorized or dangerous items concealed on his or her person, or that he or she may have been involved in an altercation of any kind. Such inspections may also be a routine requirement for inmate movement into or out of high security risk areas. Random or spot-check inspections of inmates may also be authorized by the institution head to prevent possession and movement of unauthorized or dangerous items and substances into, out of, or within the institution. Visual daily inspections of inmates shall be made to ensure compliance with departmental grooming standards. All such inspections shall be conducted in a professional manner which avoids embarrassment or indignity to the inmate. Whenever possible, unclothed body inspections of inmates shall be conducted outside the view of others. (1) Correctional employees, other than qualified medical staff, shall not conduct unclothed body inspections of inmates of the opposite sex except under emergency conditions with life or death consequences. (2) Routine inspections of clothed male inmates may be performed by employees of either sex. (3) Body inspection of clothed female inmates shall be conducted by female correctional employees only, except in emergency situations requiring the immediate search of inmates to avoid the threat of death, escape, or great bodily injury. In such emergency situations, male correctional employees may conduct clothed body inspections only until sufficient numbers of female correctional employees are available to assume critical body search duties. (4) Male correctional employees shall not, under any circumstances, perform non-emergency body searches of female inmates. (5) Any inspection of body cavities, other than visual or metal detector inspections, will be conducted in a medical setting under the direct supervision of a physician. Any physical intrusion into body cavities must be performed by a physician, and then only after all less obtrusive methods have failed to bring the inspection to a conclusion. (c) Inspections of inmate cell or living areas, property, work areas, and body shall be conducted on an unannounced, random basis as directed by the institution head. Such inspections shall be conducted no more frequently than necessary to control contraband, recover missing or stolen property, or maintain proper security of the institution. (d) A written record shall be maintained of the disposition of contraband and stolen or missing property confiscated as the result of cell, property, or body inspections. § 3290 8.

Methods for Testing of Controlled Substances or for Use of Alcohol. (a) The department shall prescribe the products, equipment, and methods for testing suspected controlled substances or for the use of alcohol. ‘‘Field’’ or on-site testing shall be conducted only by trained personnel. (b) Field tests may be performed on any suspected substance found on institution property or in the possession or under the control of any inmate, or in the possession or under the control of persons other than inmates who come on institution property. 117 § 3291 DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION (c) The securing of a urine sample from an inmate, for the purpose of testing for the presence of controlled substances or for use of alcohol may be done for the following reasons: (1) When there is reasonable cause to believe the inmate has possessed, distributed, used, or is under the influence of a controlled substance or alcohol. (2) When mandatory random testing is known to the inmate to be a condition for the inmate’s participation in a specific program, assignment, or activity. (3) As part of an authorized disposition of a disciplinary hearing. (4) The inmate is selected by the institution’s/facility’s random drug testing selection process. (d) Inmates must provide a urine sample when ordered to do so pursuant to these regulations, for the purpose of testing for the presence of controlled substances or the use of alcohol. (e) Field testing of seized substances that are suspected of being a controlled substance shall be conducted for ‘‘screening’’ purposes only. Disciplinary action for possession of a controlled substance based solely on a field test shall not include the loss of work/behavior credits unless a laboratory has confirmed that the suspected substance is in fact a controlled substance, or the inmate has admitted to possessing the controlled substance, accepts the results of a field test, and waives the requirement of testing by a laboratory, and has signed a document to that effect. (f) The positive test results from a urine sample submitted for testing for the presence of an unauthorized controlled substance or alcohol that has been confirmed as positive by a departmentally approved testing method may be considered as sufficient evidence to support a guilty finding for use of the controlled substance or alcohol. (g) When evidence remaining after a field test or resulting from a field test is not suitable or sufficient for submission to a laboratory for confirmation of the field test, the field test results may be considered in a disciplinary hearing for possession of a controlled substance. Under such circumstances, a finding of guilty shall be based upon the preponderance of all evidence presented at the disciplinary hearing. Although no credit loss action may be taken when the only evidence being considered by the hearing official is the result from a field test, other authorized disciplinary actions may be taken pursuant to section 3315 for violations of 3016(a). (h) The identification of unauthorized medication, to include any medication considered to be a controlled substance as described in section 3000, must be confirmed by a licensed pharmacist and that confirmation may be used as evidence in a disciplinary hearing. There shall be no requirement for laboratory testing of intact medications when identification of the controlled medication has been confirmed by a pharmacist. The pharmacist will indicate whether the medication contains any of the substances listed in Health and Safety Code (H&SC) section 11007 to enable the determination of the appropriate classification level pursuant to section 3323 relative to a disciplinary violation for unauthorized possession or distribution of the medication.

(4) The CDC Form 128-B shall be placed in the inmate’s central file and a copy shall be provided to the inmate.

At that time, if no further matters are pending, but continued segregation placement is required pending transfer to a general population, ICC reviews shall be at least every 90 days until transfer can be accomplished. (e) Inmate retention in administrative segregation beyond the initial segregation ICC hearing shall be referred for CSR review and approval within 30 days and then thereafter in accordance with subsection (d) above. In initiating such reviews an ICC shall recommend one of the following possible outcomes: (1) Transfer to another institution in accordance with section 3379. (2) Transfer to a Segregated Program Housing Unit in accordance with section 3341.5. (3) Retention in segregation pending completion of an active investigation into an alleged violation of the rules/disciplinary process, an investigation of other matters, or resolution of criminal prosecution. In such instances an ICC shall offer a reasonable projection of the time remaining for the resolution of such matters. (f) Subsequent to CSR approval of an extension of segregation retention, an ICC will schedule the case for future CSR review in a time frame consistent with the projection(s) made in accordance with subsection (d) above. (g) Inmates in segregation who have approved Security Housing Unit (SHU) term status, but are still awaiting other processes (i.e., court proceedings, adjudication of other rule violation reports, gang validation, etc.), shall be reviewed by an ICC in accordance with the SHU classification process noted in subsection 3341.8. (h) The need for a change in housing or yard status of any inmate segregated under the provisions of this article shall be reviewed at the next convened ICC hearing. (i) All classification committee actions shall be documented, including a specific record of the inmate’s participation, an explanation of the reason(s), and the information and evidence relied upon for the action taken. The inmate shall be provided copies of the completed forms relied upon in making the decisions affecting the inmate. (k) Visits. BMU inmates are permitted visits with their approved visitors. All visits for inmates at Step 1 and 2 will be non-contact, this includes attorney visits. Inmates at Step 3 will be afforded contact visits.

TITLE 15 Segregation Housing 3335. Administrative Segregation. (a) When an inmate’s presence in an institution’s general inmate population presents an immediate threat to the safety of the inmate or others, endangers institution security or jeopardizes the integrity of an investigation of an alleged serious misconduct or criminal activity, the inmate shall be immediately removed from general population and be placed in administrative segregation. Administrative segregation may be accomplished by confinement in a designated segregation unit or, in an emergency, to any single cell unit capable of providing secure segregation. (b) Temporary Segregation. Pending a classification committee determination of the inmate’s housing assignment, which may include assignment to one of the segregation program units specified in section 3341.5 of these regulations or to the general inmate population, an inmate may be placed in a designated temporary housing unit under provisions of sections 3336–3341 of these regulations. (c) An inmate’s placement in segregation shall be reviewed by the Institutional Classification Committee (ICC) within 10 days of receipt in the unit and under provisions of section 3338(a) of these regulations. Action shall be taken to retain the inmate in segregation or release to general population. (d) When, pursuant to this section, an ICC retains an inmate on segregation status, the case shall be referred to a Classification Staff Representative (CSR) for review and approval. Unless otherwise directed by the CSR, subsequent ICC reviews shall proceed in accordance with the following timelines until the inmate is removed from segregation status: (1) At intervals of not more than 90 days until pending Division C, D, E, or F rules violation report is adjudicated. Upon resolution of such matters, an ICC shall review the inmate’s case within 14 calendar days. At that time, if no further matters are pending, but continued segregation retention is required pending transfer to a general population, ICC reviews shall be within at least every 90 days until the transfer can be accomplished. (2) At intervals of not more than 180 days until a pending Division A-1, A-2, or B rules violation report is adjudicated, a court proceeding resulting from a referral to the district attorney for possible prosecution is resolved, or the gang validation investigation process is complete. Upon resolution of such matters, an ICC shall review the inmate’s case within 14 calendar days. (3) At intervals of not more than 90 days until completion of the pending investigation of serious misconduct or criminal activity, excluding gang validation, or pending resolution of safety and security issues, or investigation of non-disciplinary reasons for NOTE: Authority cited: Section 5058, Penal Code.

If retention in administrative segregation is approved at this review, the following determinations will be made at this level: (a) Determine the appropriate assignment of staff assistance, if such assistance was deemed necessary by the official initiating the CDC Form 114-D. If the inmate’s caseworker is not an appropriate assignment because of the caseworker’s schedule, an alternate staff assistance assignment will be made. The inmate will be notified in writing of any change in the assignment of staff assistance. An inmate may decline to accept the assignment of his or her caseworker or the first person assigned. In such cases a different staff member will be assigned to assist the inmate. (b) Determine the inmate’s desire to call witnesses or submit other documentary evidence. If the inmate requests the presence of witnesses or submission of documentary evidence at a classification hearing on the reason or need for retention in segregated housing, an investigative employee will be assigned to the case. A request to call witnesses and the names of witnesses must be submitted in writing by the inmate. (c) Determine if the inmate has waived the 72-hour time limit in which a classification hearing cannot be held, as indicated on the CDC Form 114-D, or if the inmate desires additional time to prepare for a classification hearing. A request and the reason for needing additional time to prepare for a hearing must be submitted in writing by the inmate. In the absence of an inmate’s waiver of the 72-hour preparation period or an approved request for additional preparation time, a classification hearing cannot be held earlier than 72 hours after the inmate’s placement in segregated housing, but will be held as soon thereafter as it is practical to do so. (d) Determine the most appropriate date and time for a classification hearing based upon the determination arrived at under (a)(b) and (c) and the time limitations prescribed in section 3338. 7.

Authority to order an inmate to be placed in administrative segregation, before such action is considered and ordered by a classification hearing, may not be delegated below the staff level of correctional lieutenant except when a lower level staff member is the highest ranking official on duty. (a) The reasons for ordering an inmate’s placement in administrative segregation will be clearly documented on a CDC Form 114-D (Order and Hearing on Segregated Housing) by the official ordering the action at the time the action is taken. (b) In addition to explaining the reason and need for an inmate’s placement in administrative segregation, the official ordering the action will determine if a staff member needs to be assigned to assist the inmate in presenting the inmate’s position at a classification hearing on the need for retention in segregated housing. Staff assistance will be assigned and the assignment will be noted in the CDC Form 114-D if the inmate is illiterate or if the complexities of the issues make it unlikely that the inmate can collect and present evidence necessary for an adequate comprehension of the inmate’s position at a classification hearing. If an inmate is not illiterate and the issues are not complex, staff assistance will not be assigned. The reason for not assigning staff assistance will be entered on the CDC Form 114-D. (c) In assigning staff assistance, the official initiating the CDC Form 114-D will designate the inmate’s caseworker by name, as the staff member to assist the inmate. If the assigned caseworker’s name is not known or cannot be readily determined by the official initiating the CDC Form 114-D, the words ‘‘assigned caseworker’’ will be entered on the form. (d) A copy of the CDC Form 114-D, with the ‘‘order’’ portion of the form completed, will if practical, be given to the inmate prior to placement in administrative segregation but not later than 48 hours after such placement. Copies of the CDC Form 114-D with the ‘‘order’’ portion completed will also be submitted to the warden or superintendent or designated staff for review and possible further action as described in section 3337. A copy of the CDC Form 114-D will also be routed to the records office as a notice of the inmate’s current status and pending actions. NOTE: Authority cited: Section 5058, Penal Code. Reference: Section 5054, Penal Code. 3338. Hearing on Segregated Housing Order. (a) A classification hearing for consideration and determination of the need to retain an inmate in segregated housing, for the reasons set forth in a segregation order, CDC Form 114-D, will be held as soon as it is practical and possible to do so, but in no case longer than 10 days from the date the inmate was initially placed in segregated housing, except for the following reasons: (1) The segregation order, CDC Form 114-D, has been withdrawn and the inmate has been returned to general population status pursuant to Section 3339. (2) The inmate has been afforded the procedural safeguards of a disciplinary hearing for a serious rule violation and the case has been referred to a classification committee for review, as provided in Section 3315(g). In such cases the classification committee may rely upon the findings of the disciplinary hearing in determining the inmate’s need for segregated housing and in ordering such placement. A separate order and hearing on segregated housing is not required in such cases. (3) The inmate is retained in segregated housing for any Administrative reasons or purposes after acquittal or dismissal of disciplinary charges for which the inmate was segregated pending a disciplinary hearing. In such cases, a segregated housing order shall be initiated and a hearing shall be held on the order within the time limits and under the procedural safeguards set forth in section 3339(b). (4) A continuing state of emergency exists within the institution, as described in Section 3383. Under such circumstances the hearing will be held as soon as it is safe and practical to do so. (b) The hearing on an administrative segregation order, CDC Form 114-D, may be conducted by a single classification hearing officer (facility captain, correctional captain, correctional counse- NOTE: Authority cited: Section 5058, Penal Code.

Change without regulatory effect amending first paragraph filed 3-22-2001 pursuant to section 100, Title 1, California Code of Regulations (Register 2001, No. 12). 3337. Review of Segregation Order. On the first work day following an inmate’s placement in administrative segregation, designated staff at not less than the 147 § 3339 DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION TITLE 15 (i) The determinations arrived at in the classification hearing will be documented in the hearing portion of the segregation order, CDC Form 114-D, and in the classification committee report, CDC Form 128-G, depending upon the hearing at which the need for segregated housing is resolved. Such documentation will include an explanation of the reason and the information and evidence relied upon for the action taken. A copy of the completed CDC Form 114-D and any CDC Form 128-G resulting from hearings will be routed to the inmate’s central file. The inmate will also be given copies of all completed forms and of all other documents relied upon in the hearing except those containing confidential information. lor III, or experienced correctional lieutenant, or correctional counselor II.) This does not preclude the use of classification committees or subcommittees of classification for such hearings if such committee hearings can be scheduled and conducted within the time constraints required for such hearings. This option is left to the discretion of each warden and superintendent. (c) The inmate will be present at the initial hearing on an administrative segregation order except under the applicable conditions as described in section 3320(g) of the director’s rules relating to disciplinary hearings. If the hearing is held without the inmate present, the reason will be documented on the segregation order form. Any staff member assigned to assist the inmate will also be present at the hearing. (d) The primary purpose of the initial hearing on an administrative segregation order, CDC Form 114-D, is to determine the need for continued retention in administrative segregation pending criminal prosecution, disciplinary proceedings, the resolution of nondisciplinary issues or considerations, and reclassification by the institution’s main classification committee for assignment to a specialized security housing unit, or an action on the main classification committee’s recommendation for transfer to an institution with appropriate specialized security housing units. (e) When the reason for an inmate’s initial placement in administrative segregation is a disciplinary matter and likely to result in a formal report of violation of institution rules on a CDC Form 115, or a referral to the district attorney for possible criminal prosecution, the hearing will assume the alleged misconduct or criminal activities to be factual as reported in the segregation order. The hearing will not consider evidence or information relating to the guilt or innocence of the inmate. The only determination to be made is whether the inmate needs to be retained in administrative segregation for the reasons given in subsection 3335(a) and in the segregation order, CDC Form 114-D, pending resolution or disposition of disciplinary issues. If the hearing decision is to retain the inmate in administrative segregation, the case will be referred to the next scheduled meeting of the institution’s main classification committee for review. The main classification committee may review the case in absentia and continue the inmate in administrative segregation pending resolution of the disciplinary issues, or schedule the inmate for a personal appearance to consider placement in a specialized security unit based upon other nondisciplinary reasons necessitating such placement. (f) When the reason for an inmate’s placement in administrative segregation is for nondisciplinary reasons, the hearing will consider all available evidence or information relating to the validity of the reasons given for such placement as well as the need to retain the inmate in administrative segregation pending resolution of the situation or circumstances set forth in the administrative segregation order. (g) All cases of nondisciplinary administratively segregated inmates referred to the institution’s main classification committee in place of an initial hearing on a segregation order or for a review of an initial hearing decision, will require the inmate’s personal appearance except under the applicable conditions for absentia hearings as described in section 3320(g) of the director’s rules. (h) Based upon the finding of the investigative employee, the initial hearing or the main classification committee will permit the inmate to present witnesses and documentary evidence at the hearing unless the initial hearing officer or the chairperson of the committee determines in good faith that permitting such evidence will be unduly hazardous to the institution safety or correctional goals. The reason for disallowing witnesses or evidence will be documented in the ‘‘hearing’’ portion of the segregation order, CDC Form 114-D, and in the classification committee’s report (CDC Form 128-G) depending upon the hearing at which the presentation of such evidence or witnesses would have otherwise been presented.

Release from Administrative Segregation and Retention in Administrative Segregation. (a) Release: Release from segregation status shall occur at the earliest possible time in keeping with the circumstances and reasons for the inmate’s initial placement in administrative segregation. Nothing in this article shall prevent the official ordering an inmate’s placement in administrative segregation, or a staff member of higher rank in the same chain of command, from withdrawing an administrative segregation order before it is acted upon or prior to a hearing on the order after consulting with and obtaining the concurrence of the administrator of the general population unit to which the inmate will be returned or assigned. Release from segregated housing after such placement shall be effected only upon the written order of an equal or higher authority. (b) Retention: Subsections (b)(1)–(b)(5) set forth procedural safeguards. These procedural safeguards apply to inmates retained for administrative reasons after the expiration of a definite term or terms of confinement for disciplinary reasons. Definite terms of confinement shall be set or reduced by classification or administrative action. (1) A segregated housing order, CDC Form 114-D, shall be initiated, giving written notice of the reasons for such retention in sufficient detail to enable the inmate to prepare a response or defense. Except in case of a genuine emergency, a copy of the order shall be given to the inmate prior to the expiration of the determinate term or terms of confinement. In no case shall notice be given later than 48 hours after the expiration of the determinate term or terms. (2) A fair hearing before one or more classification officials shall be held not more than 96 hours after the inmate is given a copy of the segregated housing order, unless the inmate requests, in writing, and is granted additional time to prepare a defense. (3) Representation by a staff assistant shall be provided if institution officials determine that the inmate is illiterate or that the complexity of the issues make it unlikely that the inmate can collect or present the evidence necessary for an adequate comprehension of the case. The determination and designation is to be made at the time the segregated housing order is prepared and shall be included on the copy of the order given the inmate. (4) The inmate shall be given a reasonable opportunity to present witnesses and documentary evidence unless institution officials determine in good faith that presentation of the evidence 148 TITLE 15 DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION § 3341.5 plinary hearing investigations. In screening prospective witnesses, the investigative employee will do so in accordance with the information to be considered in the classification hearing, as described in section 3338(e) and (f). would be unduly hazardous to institutional safety or correctional goals. The reason for disallowing designated evidence will be explained in writing by the hearing body on the segregated housing order. (5) A copy of the completed segregated housing order containing a written decision, including references to the evidence relied upon and the reasons for retention in segregated housing beyond the expiration of the expired term of confinement, if so retained, shall be given the inmate upon completion of the hearing.

Special housing units are designated for extended term programming of inmates not suited for general population. Placement into and release from these units requires approval by a classification staff representative (CSR). (a) Protective Housing Unit (PHU). An inmate whose safety would be endangered by general population placement may be placed in the PHU providing the following criteria are met: (1) The inmate does not require specialized housing for reasons other than protection. (2) The inmate does not have a serious psychiatric or medical condition requiring prompt access to hospital care. (3) The inmate is not documented as a member or an affiliate of a prison gang. (4) The inmate does not pose a threat to the safety or security of other inmates in the PHU. (5) The inmate has specific, verified enemies identified on CDC Form 812 likely to and capable of causing the inmate great bodily harm if placed in general population. (6) The inmate has notoriety likely to result in great bodily harm to the inmate if placed in general population. (7) There is no alternative placement which can ensure the inmate’s safety and provide the degree of control required for the inmate. (8) It has been verified that the inmate is in present danger of great bodily harm. The inmate’s uncorroborated personal report, the nature of the commitment offense or a record of prior protective custody housing shall not be the sole basis for protective housing unit placement. (b) Psychiatric Services Unit (PSU). A PSU provides secure housing and care for inmates with diagnosed psychiatric disorders not requiring inpatient hospital care, but who require placement in housing equivalent to Security Housing Unit (SHU), as described in subsection 3341.5(c), at the Enhanced Outpatient Program level of the mental health delivery system. (c) Security Housing Unit (SHU). An inmate whose conduct endangers the safety of others or the security of the institution shall be housed in a SHU. (1) Assignment criteria. The inmate has been found guilty of an offense for which a determinate term of confinement has been assessed or is deemed to be a threat to the safety of others or the security of the institution. (2) Length of SHU Confinement. Assignment to a SHU may be for an indeterminate or for a fixed period of time. (A) Indeterminate SHU Segregation. 1. An inmate assigned to a security housing unit on an indeterminate SHU term shall be reviewed by a classification committee at least every 180 days for consideration of release to the general inmate population. An investigative employee shall not be assigned at these periodic classification committee reviews. 2. Except as provided at section 3335(a), section 3378(d) and subsection (c)(5), a validated prison gang member or associate is deemed to be a severe threat to the safety of others or the security of the institution and will be placed in a SHU for an indeterminate term. 3340. Exclusions. Separation from general population for the reasons and under the circumstances described in this section is not considered administrative segregation and is specifically excluded from the other provisions of this article. (a) Medical. When an inmate is involuntarily removed from general inmate status for medical or psychiatric reasons by order of medical staff and the inmate’s placement is in a hospital setting or in other housing as a medical quarantine, the inmate will not be deemed as segregated for the purpose of this article. When personnel other than medical staff order an inmate placed in administrative segregation for reasons related to apparent medical or psychiatric problems, that information will be immediately brought to the attention of medical staff. The appropriateness of administrative segregation or the need for movement to a hospital setting will be determined by medical staff. When medical and psychiatric reasons are involved, but are not the primary reasons for an inmate’s placement in administrative segregation, administrative segregation status will be continued if the inmate is moved to a hospital setting and the requirements of this article will apply. (b) Orientation and Lay-Over. Newly received inmates and inmates in transit or lay-over status may be restricted to assigned quarters for that purpose. Such restrictions should not be more confining than is required for institution security and the safety of persons, nor for a period longer than the minimum time required to evaluate the safety and security factors and reassignment to more appropriate housing. (c) Disciplinary Detention. Placement in disciplinary detention as an ordered action of a disciplinary hearing is not subject to the provisions of this article except as provided in section 3338(a)(2) and (3). (d) Confinement to Quarters. Confinement to quarters as an ordered action of a disciplinary hearing is not subject to the provisions of this article. (e) Segregated Inmates. When an inmate has been classified for segregated housing in accordance with this article and commits a disciplinary offense while so confined, or is returned to segregated housing upon completion of a disciplinary detention sentence for an offense committed in a segregated unit, the provision of this article will not apply. NOTE: Authority cited: Section 5058, Penal Code. Reference: Section 5054, Penal Code. 3341. Staff Assistance. The duties and functions of a staff member assigned to assist an inmate in a classification hearing on a segregated housing order will be the same as described in section 3318 for a disciplinary hearing. When an inmate requests witnesses at a classification hearing on a segregation order and an investigative employee is assigned, the investigative employee’s duties and functions will be essentially the same as described in section 3318 for predisci- 149 § 3341.5 DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION TITLE 15 (A) The inmate has an unexpired MERD from SHU. (B) Release of the inmate would severely endanger the lives of inmates or staff, the security of the institution, or the integrity of an investigation into suspected criminal activity or serious misconduct. (C) The inmate has voluntarily requested continued retention in segregation. (4) A validated prison gang member or associate shall be considered for release from a SHU, as provided above, after the inmate is verified as a gang dropout through a debriefing process. (5) As provided at section 3378(e), the Departmental Review Board (DRB) may authorize SHU release for prison gang members or associates categorized as inactive. The term inactive means that the inmate has not been involved in gang activity for a minimum of six (6) years. Inmates categorized as inactive who are suitable for SHU release shall be transferred to the general population of a Level IV facility for a period of observation that shall be no greater than 12 months. Upon completion of the period of observation, the inmate shall be housed in a facility commensurate with his or her safety needs. In the absence of safety needs, the inmate shall be housed in a facility consistent with his or her classification score. The DRB is authorized to retain an inactive gang member or associate in a SHU based on the inmate’s past or present level of influence in the gang, history of misconduct, history of criminal activity, or other factors indicating that the inmate poses a threat to other inmates or institutional security. (6) As provided at section 3378(f), an inmate categorized as inactive or validated as a dropout of a prison gang and placed in the general population may be returned to segregation based upon one reliable source item identifying the inmate as a currently active gang member or associate of the prison gang with which the inmate was previously validated. Current activity is defined as, any documented gang activity within the past six (6) years. The procedures described in this Article shall be utilized for the removal of the inmate from the general population, the review of the initial segregation order, and all periodic reviews of the indeterminate SHU term. (7) Determinate SHU terms shall only be served in a departmentally approved SHU or a facility specifically designated for that purpose. (8) When an inmate is paroled while serving a determinate term, the remaining time on the term is automatically suspended. When an inmate returns to prison, either as a parole violator or with a new prison commitment, ICC shall evaluate the case for reimposition of the suspended determinate term. If reimposed, the term shall not exceed the time remaining on the term at the time of parole. (9) SHU Term Assessment Chart (fixing of determinate confinement to SHU). (B) Determinate SHU Segregation. 1. A determinate period of confinement in SHU may be established for an inmate found guilty of a serious offense listed in section 3315 of these regulations. The term shall be established by the Institutional Classification Committee (ICC) using the standards in this section, including the SHU Term Assessment Chart (see section 3341.5(c)(9)), Factors in Mitigation or Aggravation (see section 3341.5(c)(10)), SHU Term Assessment Worksheet CDC Form 629-A, Rev. 3/96, Assessment of Subsequent SHU Term Worksheet CDC Form 629-B, Rev. 9/90, and SHU Time Computation Table (see CDC Form 629-D, Rev. 7/88). 2. The term shall be set at the expected term for the offense in the absence of mitigating or aggravating factors. Deviation from the expected term shall be supported by findings pursuant to subsection (c)(7). 3. The terms shall be recorded on CDC Form 629-A, SHU Term Assessment Worksheet, using the SHU Time Computation Table which incorporates one-fourth clean conduct credit in the term.
