Section 423.11 - Placement and Transfer to a Secure Adjustment Unit

Consistent with the safety of all staff and inmates, an inmate may be transferred from Restrictive Housing to outplacement such as a Secure Adjustment Unit, following recommendation from the Placement Review Committee and a determination by the Superintendent or designee that the inmate no longer requires Restrictive Housing but cannot be placed in general population.

An inmate may be placed in a Secure Adjustment Unit for reasons including, but not limited to, when an inmate is:

(a) awaiting a hearing for a violation of institution rules or regulations;

(b) pending investigation of a serious violation of institution rules or regulations;

(c) pending investigation for disciplinary offenses or criminal acts that may have occurred while incarcerated;

(d) pending transfer;

(e) pending classification.

To initiate the temporary placement of an inmate from Restrictive Housing to a Secure Adjustment Unit, the Superintendent or designee shall submit a completed Secure Adjustment Unit transfer request form to the Classification Division. The Classification Division shall then identify a bed in an appropriate Secure Adjustment Unit and effect such transfer.
