All other information should be disclosed only upon the prisoners written consent unless: (i) a government official specifies in writing the particular information desired, the officials agency is authorized by law to request that information, and the disclosure of the information is appropriately limited to protect the prisoners privacy; (ii) the material is sought only for statistical, research, or reporting purposes and is not in a form containing the prisoners name, number, symbol, or other information that might identify the prisoner; (iii) the disclosure is made pursuant to a valid court order or subpoena, or is otherwise required by law; or.

(e) A correctional agencys grievance procedure should be designed to instill the confidence of prisoners and correctional authorities in the effectiveness of the process, and its success in this regard should be periodically evaluated. (e) Correctional officials and administrators should annually review and update facility and agency rules and regulations to ensure that they comport with current legal standards. (c) The mental health of prisoners in long-term segregated housing should be monitored as follows: (i) Daily, correctional staff should maintain a log documenting prisoners behavior. If a prisoner refuses care in such a situation, health care staff should take steps to involve other trusted individuals, such as clergy or the prisoners family members, to communicate to the prisoner the importance of the decision. Procedures should exist for identifying individual prisoners who did not participate in incidents that led to the lockdown and whose access to programs and movement within the facility may be safely restored prior to the termination of lockdown status. If convicted capital offenders are separately housed based solely on their sentence, conditions should be comparable to those provided to the general population. Living conditions for a correctional agencys female prisoners should be essentially equal to those of the agencys male prisoners, as should security and programming.

Health care personnel should document any injuries sustained. (c) Correctional authorities should treat all visitors respectfully and should accommodate their visits to the extent practicable, especially when they have traveled a significant distance. (b) Prisoners access to the judicial process should not be restricted by the nature of the action or the relief sought, the phase of litigation involved, or the likelihood of success of the action, except if like restrictions, including filing fees, are imposed on non-prisoners. (ii) ensure that all health care treatment and medications provided to the prisoner during the term of imprisonment will continue uninterrupted, including, if necessary, providing prescription medication or medical equipment for a brief period reasonably necessary to obtain access to health care services in the community; providing initial medically necessary transportation from the correctional facility to a community health care facility for continuing treatment; or otherwise addressing the prisoners serious immediate post-release health care needs. Segregated housing includes restriction of a prisoner to the prisoners assigned living quarters. (a) Correctional authorities should use long-term segregated housing sparingly and should not place or retain prisoners in such housing except for reasons relating to: (i) discipline after a finding that the prisoner has committed a very severe disciplinary infraction, in which safety or security was seriously threatened; (ii) a credible continuing and serious threat to the security of others or to the prisoners own safety; or.

A correctional facility should be subject to the same enforcement penalties and procedures, including abatement procedures for noncompliance, as are applicable to other institutions. (b) Correctional officials should implement visitation policies that assist prisoners in maintaining and developing healthy family relationships by: (i) providing sufficient and appropriate space and facilities for visiting; (ii) establishing reasonable visiting hours that are convenient and suitable for visitors, including time on weekends, evenings, and holidays; and. Correctional authorities should facilitate prisoners reintegration into free society by implementing appropriate conditions of confinement and by sustained planning for such reintegration. Officials should provide a clear rationale in writing for any censorship decision, and should afford prisoners a timely opportunity to appeal the decision to a correctional administrator. (iv) assertions of a defense to any action brought against them. Correctional authorities should provide access to copying services, for which a reasonable fee should be permitted, and should provide prisoners with access to typewriters or word processing equipment.

(o) The term long-term segregated housing means segregated housing that is expected to extend or does extend for a period of time exceeding 30 days. Correctional authorities should be permitted to assign prisoners to community service; to jobs in prison industry programs; or to jobs useful for the operation of the facility, including cleaning, food service, maintenance, and agricultural programs.
