(a) If any inmate who is 18 years of age or older involves, induces, or solicits an inmate who is less than 18 to commit an offense, or if the victim of an offense committed by the older inmate is an inmate who is less than 18, the older inmate may be subject to a penalty that is double the penalty established for the offense under these regulations. One of the following findings shall be necessary to invoke this increased penalty:

(1) The older inmate is guilty of the same offense as that committed by the younger inmate.

(2) The older inmate is guilty of a violation of K.A.R. 44-12-1101 with respect to that offense.

(3) The older inmate is guilty of an offense involving the victimization of the younger inmate.

(b) The limitations of K.A.R. 44-12-1308 regarding sentences of disciplinary segregation shall be construed, within the context of K.A.R. 44-12-1201, to mean that the total length of a sentence of disciplinary segregation for all charges arising from a single incident shall not exceed 120 days.
