Section DOC 327.08 - Changes in CRC program assignment

(1) In this section, "program assignment" means assignment to work, school, treatment or an approved alternative program, or to a combination of these. It does not include a more specific assignment, such as a particular job within a work assignment.

(2) For the purposes of considering a change in an inmate's program assignment after initial CRC placement approval under s. DOC 327.06, not including termination of the CRC placement under s. DOC 327.10, a CRC PRC shall consist of 2 members including a social worker and correctional officer. The superintendent may designate persons to sit as alternates.

(3) CRC PRC approval or disapproval for a change in program assignment shall be by unanimous vote. If the vote is not unanimous, the case shall be referred to the superintendent for a decision.

(4) The criteria under ss. DOC 302.11 and 302.13, the availability of programs in the community, and any other factor relevant to the inmate's rehabilitation and the protection of the community may be considered in making the decision.

(5) Reasons for the decision concerning a program assignment shall be given to the inmate in writing.

(6) An inmate may appeal the PRC's decision concerning a program assignment to the superintendent within 10 days after receipt of the decision.

(7) Although PRC approval is not necessary, an inmate may not change his or her schedule or specific job, school or treatment activities without prior approval by a CRC staff member designated by the superintendent.
