Regulation Authority:
42-35, 42-72-5
Purpose and Reason:
This new rule, in compliance with the federal court order relating to RI Training School residents and the accreditation standards of the American Correctional Association for Juvenile Training Schools and Juvenile Detention Facilities, provides that staff utilize progressive discipline in responding to the residents of the RI Training School. This approach begins with positive rewards for appropriate resident behavior and includes graduated sanctions for infractions which are proportional to the offense. The rule also requires that in the disposition of all disciplinary actions, no disciplinary action includes the most severe consequences unless less severe means have been previously tried and have failed. The final rule does not contain any changes from the proposed rule except for editing changes.
