Expanded telephone use
In recognition of the need for incarcerated people to have contact
with their loved ones, the Division of Adult Institutions has expanded
phone access for certain privilege groups. Access will be via current
inmate phone equipment, with extra precautions taken to clean phones and
allow physical distancing to limit possible exposure and transmittal of
illness. Inmates on C Status (lost privileges due to disciplinary
reasons) will remain on phone restrictions until C Status until that
status has been completed or removed.
The following populations will be allowed to make calls above their
privilege group until further notice:
· Inmates in Administrative Segregation
for non-disciplinary reasons, designated Privilege Group B, will be
allowed one phone call per week (previously one per month; Privilege
Group A are normally allowed one call per week)
· All other inmates in restricted housing
will be allowed to make one phone call once every two weeks (currently no
phone calls permitted)
· Reception Center inmates will be
provided one phone call per week (currently one call within first seven
days and one per month after)
· Inmates in Psychiatric Inpatient Program
settings will be allowed one call per week unless they are prohibited by
the Interdisciplinary Treatment Team (with documented clinical
justification).
