Kan. Admin. Regs. § 44-5-105 - The program plan and timetable
(a) Within one
month after each inmate's admission or re-admission evaluation, an initial
classification committee shall meet with the offender to develop a program
plan. The development of an inmate's program plan and timetable for projected
completion shall be based on an interview of the inmate by the initial
classification committee and on review of available information concerning the
inmate, including any specific recommendations made by state reception and
diagnostic center or Kansas correctional institution at Lansing regarding
needed features in the program plan for that particular inmate. The program
plan shall then be modified according to the availability of programs and
services at the institution or facility. The initial classification committee
shall also consider the inmate's personal preference for particular programs.
The committee shall consider opinions of the security officers as they relate
to the formulation of a plan.
(b)
The program plan shall include various tasks which the inmate agrees to perform
over an estimated period of time. The tasks shall be designed to assist the
inmate in making changes that will better allow the inmate to re-enter the
community and live without coming in conflict with the law. The tasks shall be
of several types and may include activities in education, vocational training,
psychological or psychiatric counseling or therapy, work, hobbies or leisure
time activities, and participation in social, special interest or special
counseling groups. The program plan shall include, as a basic and continuing
requirement, the assessment, development, and maintenance of the
characteristics of acceptable social behavior, obedience to the regulations of
the secretary and the orders of the principal administrator and all laws, and
the effort to solve problems identified by valid psychological testing so the
inmate may live in the community without coming in conflict with the law.
(c)
(1) Any inmate may elect not to participate
in a formal program plan. In such an event, that inmate shall not be prohibited
from participating in any programs as are available, but the inmate shall first
obtain the recommendation and approval of the unit team. The unit team may
recommend the inmate for parole eligibility based on the inmate's
rehabilitation progress accomplished by the inmate's own initiative. The inmate
shall not be penalized for refusal to participate in a formal program plan. The
inmate shall nevertheless be subject to all the regulations of the secretary
and the orders of the principal administrator, and shall be required to
participate in any work assignments which are made by the unit team.
(2) Any inmate may, at any time, request the
creation of a formal program plan. The unit team shall, within 60 days, confer
with the inmate and shall draft a program plan and timetable for the inmate.
(d) The unit team
members shall be available to attend the Kansas adult authority initial
hearing, at the order of the authority pursuant to K.A.R. 45-5-1, to confer
with the Kansas adult authority and to assist the Kansas adult authority in
establishing or identifying the parole eligibility date.
