Section 10A:4-7.2 - Conference/appeal

(a) The custody staff supervisor shall hold a conference within 24 hours of receipt of the On-The-Spot Disciplinary Report/Adjudication. The inmate shall also be afforded the right to appear at the conference with the custody staff supervisor at which time the inmate may review and appeal the disciplinary report, discuss the violation and the inmate may present arguments regarding disciplinary action and challenge the proposed sanction.

(b) An inmate may waive the right to attend his or her conference or the inmate may forfeit that right if the inmate's behavior justifies his or her removal from the conference. In either case, the reasons for the inmate's absence shall be documented.

(c) The custody staff supervisor shall indicate on the On-The-Spot Disciplinary Report/ Adjudication whether the conference was held and enter on the form the other data pertaining to the results of the conference.

(d) At the conclusion of the conference, the inmate shall receive a completed copy of the On-The-Spot Disciplinary Report/Adjudication. Should the inmate be found guilty, a copy of the report shall be submitted to the Correction Major.

(e) On-the-spot disciplinary action is considered minor in nature and as such the right afforded to the inmate to appear at the conference shall be the final appeal for a finding of guilt to an on-the-spot disciplinary adjudication.
