Or. Admin. Code § 291-011-0080 - Disciplinary Segregation Units in Minimum Custody Facilities
(1) Due to their
size and available staffing, minimum custody facilities will be exempt from the
following provisions of the department's rules on Segregation (Disciplinary)
(OAR 291-011). These provisions will be modified as described below.
(2) An AIC may be placed on close supervision
status under the provisions listed in OAR
291-011-0030 and remain so until
terminated by the functional unit manager or transfer to another
facility.
(3) Recreation outside of
the cell will not be available.
(4)
Staff Selection Criteria: Employees regularly assigned to the facility will
staff the Disciplinary Segregation Unit.
(5) AICs in disciplinary segregation
requesting psychological intervention will be referred to the facility medical
staff.
(6) AICs in disciplinary
segregation will be visited by a qualified health care professional at least
daily unless medical attention is ordered more frequently in specific cases by
the facility's physician. Requests for medical attention made to security staff
will be referred to the officer-in-charge who will determine the appropriate
action to be taken.
(7) Facilities
that have five- or seven-day-a-week health care available will ensure that AICs
in disciplinary segregation are seen by a qualified health care professional
each day. When a facility does not have a qualified health care professional on
site for a period greater than 24 hours, AICs in disciplinary segregation will
be visited by the officer-in-charge at least daily.
(8) Door Security: The outer door to each
segregation cell shall remain locked when not in use for authorized
traffic.
(9) When possible, staff
will restrain all AICs occupying the cell prior to the unlocking or opening of
the cell door. The functional unit manager may waive this requirement based
upon facility design and operational requirements.
(10) Property: In addition to authorized
issued items, the following property will be authorized in disciplinary
segregation:
(a) Personal letters;
(b) Photographs (ten total, will not be
retrieved from AIC's personal property);

Canteen will not be available except for the purchase of ten
envelopes.
(12) If a
disciplinary-segregated AIC complains of medical, dental, or mental health
problems at a time other than the time of the medical staff member's visit, the
officer-in-charge will consider the request and determine if immediate action
is warranted. If necessary, the officer-in-charge will utilize the established
mental health or medical on-call system.
(13) All requests for religious guidance or
counseling will be submitted in writing by the AIC and directed to the facility
chaplain.
(14) AICs receiving
disciplinary sanctions of 14 days or less may complete their sanctions at these
facilities. Any AIC sanctioned to 15 or more consecutive days of disciplinary
segregation shall be transferred to a facility capable of housing
disciplinary-segregated AICs in compliance with OAR
291-011-0015 through OAR
291-011-0064.
