22 AAC 05.405 - Informal resolution; facility staff members' duty to report infractions

(a) A facility staff member may informally handle prisoner conduct that constitutes a minor infraction by correcting, counseling, or advising the prisoner as to the proper or acceptable behavior. Upon approval of the assistant superintendent, a facility staff member may informally handle prisoner conduct that constitutes a low-moderate or high-moderate infraction by correcting, counseling, or advising the prisoner as to the proper or acceptable behavior. However, all prisoner misconduct that constitutes a low-moderate or higher infraction must be reported to the assistant superintendent by separate report for each infraction. If the matter is handled informally, the staff member shall file an information report unless the infraction is a minor infraction.

(b) Except as provided in 22 AAC 05.430(b), staff members may not informally discuss the facts of an alleged infraction with other staff members other than the assistant superintendent, in order to ensure impartiality in the disciplinary process.
