Title 103 CMR 423.00 - Restrictive Housing
Section 423.11 - Placement and Transfer to a Secure Adjustment Unit
Current through Register 1531, September 27, 2024
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.
