Ill. Admin. Code tit. 20, § 501.320 - Procedure for Placement
a) A
committed person may request placement in protective custody. The employee to
whom such a request is made shall promptly notify the Chief Administrative
Officer. Reassignment from the general population to protective custody shall
be accomplished as expeditiously as possible.
b) Within 10 working days after a committed
person has been placed in protective custody, he shall appear before the
Assignment Officer. The Officer shall make a recommendation to the Chief
Administrative Officer concerning the necessity of continued protective custody
placement. The following, among other factors, may be considered by the
Assignment Officer in making his recommendations:
1) Size, stature, age, degree of
aggressiveness, criminal history, any history of being victimized;
2) Identification of a specific individual
who has threatened and can be expected to continue to threaten to physically
harm the committed person requesting protective custody status;
3) Institutional records that indicate the
person has previously had difficulties adjusting within the general population
due to pressure from other committed persons;
4) Written or verbal reports from
correctional employees or others; or
5) Other information that in the Officer's
judgment makes continued protective custody placement necessary.
c) The Chief Administrative
Officer shall make the final determination. The committed person shall be
informed of the decision in writing. In the event that the Chief Administrative
Officer determines that the person should be removed from protective custody
because his protective custody needs cannot be substantiated, a copy of the
decision shall be personally served upon the committed person.
d) If the committed person intends to grieve
the decision, he must indicate his intent to do so in writing at the time he is
served with the Chief Administrative Officer's decision.
1) The Chief Administrative Officer shall
notify the Administrative Review Board who will review the grievance and
provide recommendations to the Director within 30 working days of its receipt,
whenever possible. The Director shall make the final determination.
2) While the grievance is pending, the
committed person shall remain in the protective custody area.
e) Any committed person who is
voluntarily in the protective custody area shall promptly be returned to the
general population upon request to appropriate staff, except as provided in
Section
501.350.
