Or. Admin. Code § 291-041-0017 - Adult in Custody Legal Storage Boxes
(1) Storage boxes for adult in custody legal
materials, whether provided by the department or purchased by the adult in
custody, may be inspected by staff at any time for the presence of non-legal
materials.
(2) Any material found
that fits the definition of contraband will be confiscated, except for material
that might also fit the definition of authorized legal material. (Refer to
Definitions, OAR 291-041-0010) Staff should not read, copy, or retain any
material that might be construed as being authorized legal material (i.e.
papers, folders, letters, etc.).
(3) If the inspecting staff member has reason
to believe the box contains materials not authorized by the DOC rule on
Property (AIC), OAR 291-117, as authorized legal material, the
staff member will seal the box and securely store it.
(a) As soon as possible, a designated staff
member will review the contents of the box with the adult in custody to make a
determination about whether or not the materials in question fit the definition
of authorized legal materials.
(b)
Unless a disciplinary report is issued, any material confiscated will be placed
in a sealed envelope, initialed and addressed by the adult in custody, and sent
out of the institution at the adult in custody's expense to a person of their
choosing.
(c) If a disciplinary
report is issued, the material will be placed in a sealed envelope, initialed
by the adult in custody, and placed in evidence pending the result of the
disciplinary hearing.
