(b) Adequate safeguards and oversight procedures should be established for behavioral or biomedical research involving prisoners, including: (i) Prior to implementation, all aspects of the research program, including design, planning, and implementation, should be reviewed and approved, disapproved, or modified as necessary by an established institutional review board that complies with applicable law and that includes a medical ethicist and a prisoners advocate. (b) No prisoner under the age of eighteen should be housed in an adult correctional facility. (a) The term chief executive officer of the facility means the correctional official with command authority over a particular correctional facility. (ii) For meetings between counsel and a prisoner: A. absent an individualized finding that security requires otherwise, counsel should be allowed to have direct contact with a prisoner who is a client, prospective client, or witness, and should not be required to communicate with such a prisoner through a glass or other barrier; B. counsel should be allowed to meet with a prisoner in a setting where their conversation cannot be overheard by staff or other prisoners; C. meetings or conversations between counsel and a prisoner should not be audio recorded by correctional authorities; D. during a meeting with a prisoner, counsel should be allowed to pass previously searched papers to and from the prisoner without intermediate handling of those papers by correctional authorities; E. correctional authorities should be allowed to search a prisoner before and after such a meeting for physical contraband, including by performing a visual search of a prisoners private bodily areas that complies with Standard 23-7.9; F. rules governing counsel visits should be as flexible as practicable in allowing counsel adequate time to meet with a prisoner who is a client, prospective client, or witness, including such a prisoner who is for any reason in a segregated housing area, and should allow meetings to occur at any reasonable time of day or day of the week; and. (d) Correctional authorities should not require prisoners to engage in religious activities or programs. (vi) All consent forms should be reviewed and approved by the insti tutional review board before they are presented to the prisoner. (e) Correctional authorities should minimize the risk of suicide in housing areas and other spaces where prisoners may be unobserved by staff by eliminating, to the extent practicable, physical features that facilitate suicide attempts. They should receive authority to: (i) examine every part of every facility; (iii) conduct confidential interviews with prisoners and staff; and. (iii) internal and external oversight of correctional operations. (e) Correctional officials should be permitted to contract with private enterprises to establish industrial and service programs to employ prisoners within a correctional facility, and goods and services produced should be permitted to freely enter interstate commerce. Correctional authorities should take care to prevent injury to restrained prisoners, and should not restrain a prisoner in any manner that causes unnecessary physical pain or extreme discomfort, or that restricts the prisoners blood circulation or obstructs the prisoners breathing or airways. (a) Independent governmental bodies responsible for such matters as fire safety, sanitation, environmental quality, food safety, education, and health should regulate, inspect, and enforce regulations in a correctional facility. In the extraordinary situation that a lockdown lasts longer than [30 days], officials should mitigate the risks of mental and physical deterioration by increasing out-of-cell time and in-cell programming opportunities. The evaluation should also consider the state of the prisoners mental health; address the extent to which the individuals behavior, measured against the plan, justifies the need to maintain, increase, or decrease the level of controls and restrictions in place at the time of the evaluation; and recommend a full classification review as described in subdivision (d) of this Standard when appropriate. (e) Any examination of a transgender prisoner to determine that prisoners genital status should be performed in private by a qualified medical professional, and only if the prisoners genital status is unknown to the correctional agency. While on-site programs are preferred, correctional authorities without resources for on-site classes should offer access to correspondence courses, online educational opportunities, or programs conducted by outside agencies. Each prisoner, including those in segregated housing, should be offered the opportunity for at least one hour per day of exercise, in the open air if the weather permits. (c) Governmental authorities should facilitate access to abortion services for a prisoner who decides to exercise her right to an abortion, as that right is defined by state and federal law, through prompt scheduling of the procedure upon request and through the provision of transportation to a facility providing such services. (iii) after the risk that justified the use of force has passed. (i) The term jail means a correctional facility holding primarily pretrial detainees and/or prisoners sentenced to a term of one year or less. (d) Courts should have the same equitable authority in cases involving challenges to conditions of confinement as in other civil rights cases. These Standards supplant the previous ABA Criminal Justice Standards on the Legal Status of Prisoners and, in addition, new Standard 23-6.15 supplants Standards 7-10.2 and 7-10.5 through 7-10.9 of the ABA Criminal Justice Mental Health Standards. Substantial educational or rehabilitative programs can substitute for employment of the same duration. Each respondent was also asked whether they are currently depressed (1 = Yes, 2 = No). (c) Any accommodation made to address the special needs or risks of a prisoner with a communicable disease should not unnecessarily reveal that prisoners health condition. If public transportation to a correctional facility is not available, correctional officials should work with transportation authorities to facilitate the provision of such transportation. 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. Segregation for health care needs should be in a location separate from disciplinary and long-term segregated housing. A correctional agency should develop a range of housing options for such prisoners, including high security housing; residential housing with various privilege levels dependent upon treatment and security assessments; and transition housing to facilitate placement in general population or release from custody. (f) A prisoner should be permitted to waive the right to a hearing if the prisoner so chooses after being informed of the disciplinary offense of which he or she is accused and the potential penalties and other consequences; such a waiver should be made in person to a designated correctional official who should accept it only if the prisoner understands the consequences. (b) Except in exigent situations, a search of a prisoners body, including a pat-down search or a visual search of the prisoners private bodily areas, should be conducted by correctional staff of the same gender as the prisoner. (d) Correctional authorities should be permitted to reasonably restrict, but not eliminate, counsel visits, clergy visits, and written communication if a prisoner has engaged in misconduct directly related to such visits or communications. (e) No cell used to house prisoners in segregated housing should be smaller than 80 square feet, and cells should be designed to permit prisoners assigned to them to converse with and be observed by staff. A correctional facility should be subject to the same enforcement penalties and procedures, including abatement procedures for noncompliance, as are applicable to other institutions. In Wolff vs. McDonnell (1974) the court created four legal procedures to enhance the protection of an inmate who has been accused of a serious prison violation. Except in highly unusual circumstances in which a prisoner poses an imminent threat of serious bodily harm, staff should not use types of force that carry a high risk of injury, such as punches, kicks, or strikes to the head, neck, face, or groin. A prisoner should not be restrained while she is in labor, including during transport, except in extraordinary circumstances after an individualized finding that security requires restraint, in which event correctional and health care staff should cooperate to use the least restrictive restraints necessary for security, which should not interfere with the prisoners labor. (d) Correctional authorities should review the classification of a prisoner housed in a prison at least every [12 months], and the classification of a prisoner housed in a jail at least every [90 days]. Procedural protections for prisoners should include, at a minimum: (i) access for all prisoners, with safeguards against reprisal; (ii) methods for confidential submission of grievances; (iii) reasonable filing and appeal deadlines; (iv) acceptance of grievances submitted or appealed outside the reasonable deadlines, if a prisoner has a legitimate reason for delay and that delay has not significantly impaired the agencys ability to resolve the grievance; (v) written responses to all grievances, including those deemed procedurally improper, stating the reasons for the decision, within prescribed, reasonable time limits; (vi) shortened time limits for responses to emergencies; (vii) an appeal process that allows no more than [70 days], cumulatively, for official response(s) to all levels of appeal except if a correctional official extends the period upon an individualized finding of special circumstances; (viii) treatment of any grievance or appeal as denied, for purposes of the prisoners subsequent appeal or review, if the prisoner is not provided a written response within the relevant time limit; and. (b) To the extent practicable, a prisoner who does not have a disability but does have special needs that affect the prisoners ability to participate in a prison program, service, or activity should receive programs, services, and activities comparable to those available to other prisoners. Prisoners should also be permitted to purchase hygiene supplies in a commissary. (e) A lockdown should last no longer than necessary. (iv) fire alarms and other forms of emergency notification that communicate effectively with prisoners with hearing or vision impairments. Prisoners work assignments, including community service assignments, should teach vocational skills that will assist them in finding employment upon release, should instill a work ethic, and should respect prisoners human dignity. The plan should include an assessment of the prisoners needs, a strategy for correctional authorities to assist the prisoner in meeting those needs, and a statement of the expectations for the prisoner to progress toward fewer restrictions and lower levels of custody based on the prisoners behavior. (f) Correctional authorities should make reasonable attempts to communicate effectively with prisoners who do not read, speak, or understand English. (iv) Provision should be made for appropriate health care for adverse medical or mental health conditions or reactions resulting from participation. (b) Imprisonment should prepare prisoners to live law-abiding lives upon release. In an emergency, or when necessary in a facility in which health care staff are available only part-time, medically trained correctional staff should be permitted to administer prescription drugs at the direction of qualified health care professionals. Correctional authorities should be permitted to examine legal materials received or retained by a prisoner for physical contraband. Clinical decisions should be the sole province of the responsible health care professionals, and should not be countermanded by non-medical staff. Work assignments, housing placements, and diets for each prisoner should be consistent with any health care treatment plan developed for that prisoner. (b) No prisoner should be placed in segregated housing for more than [1 day] without a mental health screening, conducted in person by a qualified mental health professional, and a prompt comprehensive mental health assessment if clinically indicated. Prisoners should also have regular access to a variety of broadcast media to enable them to remain informed about public affairs. (b) Prisoners should not be charged fees for necessary health care. (a) No prisoner diagnosed with serious mental illness should be placed in long-term segregated housing. (b) The term correctional administrator means an individual with responsibility for system-wide operations and management. For a prisoner not serving a sentence for a crime, the purpose of imprisonment should be to assure appearance of the prisoner at trial and to safeguard the public, not to punish. (d) Correctional administrators and officials should provide training to volunteers about how to avoid and report inappropriate conduct. Such prehearing confinement should not exceed [3 days] unless necessitated by the prisoners request for a continuance or by other demonstrated good cause. The record should identify the circumstances of the search, the persons who conducted the search, any staff who are witnesses, and any confiscated materials. (a) Governmental officials should ensure that each sentenced prisoner confined for more than [6 months] spends a reasonable part of the final portion of the term of imprisonment under conditions that afford the prisoner a reasonable opportunity to adjust to and prepare for re-entry into the community. Except in compelling circumstances, a prisoner serving a sentence who would otherwise be released directly to the community from long-term segregated housing should be placed in a less restrictive setting for the final months of confinement. (b) A correctional facility should have equipment necessary for routine health care and emergencies, and an adequately supplied pharmacy. in which case did the supreme court rule that prisoners who adhere to non-traditional religious beliefs may not be denied the opportunity to practice their own religion. (ix) prompt review of the classification committees decision by correctional administrators. (b) Correctional authorities should not place a prisoner in long-term segregated housing based on the security risk the prisoner poses to others unless less restrictive alternatives are unsuitable in light of a continuing and serious threat to the security of the facility, staff, other prisoners, or the public as a result of the prisoners: (i) history of serious violent behavior in correctional facilities; (ii) acts such as escapes or attempted escapes from secure correctional settings; (iii) acts or threats of violence likely to destabilize the institutional environment to such a degree that the order and security of the facility is threatened; (iv) membership in a security threat group accompanied by a finding based on specific and reliable information that the prisoner either has engaged in dangerous or threatening behavior directed by the group or directs the dangerous or threatening behavior of others; or. (a) Health care areas in a correctional facility should be safe and sanitary, should include appropriately private areas for examination and treatment, and should be designed so that prisoners can hold confidential discussions with health care personnel. Governmental authorities should strive to locate correctional facilities near the population centers from which the bulk of their prisoners are drawn, and in communities where there are resources to supplement treatment programs for prisoners and to provide staff for security, programming, and treatment. (a) Classification and housing assignments should not segregate or discriminate based on race unless the consideration of race is narrowly tailored to serve a compelling governmental interest. In February 2010, the ABA House of Delegates approved a set of ABA Criminal Justice Standards on Treatment of Prisoners.These Standards supplant the previous ABA Criminal Justice Standards on the Legal Status of Prisoners and, in addition, new Standard 23-6.15 supplants Standards 7-10.2 and 7-10.5 through 7-10.9 of the ABA Criminal Justice Mental Health Standards. No health care provider should be permitted to practice in a correctional facility beyond the scope permissible for that individual provider outside of a correctional facility, given the providers particular qualifications and licensing. Correctional authorities should allow legislators who sit on correctional oversight committees to speak privately with staff and prisoners. (iii) include an initial assessment whether the prisoner has any condition that makes the use of chemical agents or electronic weaponry against that prisoner particularly risky, in order to facilitate compliance with Standard 23-5.8(d). (a) Initial classification of a prisoner should take place within [48 hours] of the prisoners detention in a jail and within [30 days] of the prisoners confinement in a prison. (a) Force means offensive or defensive physical contact with a prisoner, including blows, pushes, or defensive holds, whether or not involving batons or other instruments or weapons; discharge of chemical agents; discharge of electronic weaponry; and application of restraints such as handcuffs, chains, irons, strait-jackets, or restraint chairs. (c) When federal or state law authorizes a governmental or non-governmental agency or organization to conduct an investigation relating to a correctional facility, correctional officials should allow that agency or organization convenient and complete access to the facility and should cooperate fully in the investigation. B. correctional authorities should conduct such a search only in the presence of the prisoner to or from whom the letter or document is addressed. (b) When restraints are necessary, correctional authorities should use the least restrictive forms of restraints that are appropriate and should use them only as long as the need exists, not for a pre-determined period of time. C. If a contractor is delegated the authority to classify prisoners, the classification system and instrument should be approved and individual classification decisions reviewed by the contracting agency. (a) A prisoner should be placed or retained in long-term segregated housing only after an individualized determination, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the substantive prerequisites set out in Standards 23-2.7 and 23-5.5 for such placement are met. (f) Correctional administrators should routinely collect, analyze, and publish statistical information on agency operations including security incidents, sexual assaults, prisoner grievances, uses of force, health and safety, spending on programs and services, program participation and outcomes, staffing, and employee discipline. Correctional officials should set forth any applicable restrictions in a written policy. Correctional authorities should provide female prisoners job opportunities reasonably similar in nature and scope to those provided male prisoners. Correctional authorities should not conduct searches in order to harass or retaliate against prisoners individually or as a group. (a) The term lockdown means a decision by correctional authorities to suspend activities in one or more housing areas of a correctional facility and to confine prisoners to their cells or housing areas. (ix) an appropriate individual and, when appropriate, systemic remedy if the grievance is determined to be well-founded. Such an officer should be called to the scene whenever force is used, to direct and observe but ordinarily not to participate in the physical application of force, and should not leave the scene until the incident has come to an end. (c) A record should be kept of all facility searches, including documentation of any contraband that is found. Copies of the rules and handbook in the languages a facilitys prisoners understand should also be available in areas of the facility readily accessible to prisoners, including libraries. However, prisoners diagnosed with serious mental illness should not be housed in settings that may exacerbate their mental illness or suicide risk, particularly in settings involving sensory deprivation or isolation. (a) A correctional agency should have a clear written statement of its mission and core values. At all times within a correctional facility or during transport, at least one staff member of the same gender as supervised prisoners should share control of the prisoners. (f) Correctional officials should facilitate and promote visiting by providing visitors travel guidance, directions, and information about visiting hours, attire, and other rules. brutality and inhumane living conditions. Correctional authorities should actively encourage prisoner participation in appropriate educational programs. (d) A correctional agency should implement reasonable policies and procedures governing staff use of force against prisoners; these policies should establish a range of force options and explicitly prohibit the use of premature, unnecessary, or excessive force. Sanctions should be reasonable in light of the offense and the prisoners circumstances, including disciplinary history and any mental illness or other cognitive impairment. When a prisoner and infant are separated, the prisoner should be provided with counseling and other mental health support. (c) When appropriate, health care complaints should be evaluated and treated by specialists. Searches of prisoners bodies should follow a written protocol that implements this Standard. Correctional authorities should be permitted to subject all visitors to nonintrusive types of body searches such as pat-down and metal-detector-aided searches, and to search property visitors bring inside a correctional facility. Habeas Corpus. (g) When public safety and the interests of justice would not be compromised, governmental authorities should provide judicial and administrative mechanisms to accomplish the early release of prisoners in exceptional circumstances, such as terminal illness, permanent disability that substantially diminishes the ability of the prisoner to provide self-care within a correctional facility, or exigent family circumstances. (iii) The institutional review board should ensure that mechanisms exist to closely monitor the progress of the study to detect and address adverse events or unanticipated problems. Depending upon individual assessments of risks, needs, and the reasons for placement in the segregated setting, those forms of stimulation should include: (i) in-cell programming, which should be developed for prisoners who are not permitted to leave their cells; (ii) additional out-of-cell time, taking into account the size of the prisoners cell and the length of time the prisoner has been housed in this setting; (iii) opportunities to exercise in the presence of other prisoners, although, if necessary, separated by security barriers; (iv) daily face-to-face interaction with both uniformed and civilian staff; and. (iv) provided the greatest practicable opportunities for out-of-cell time. up until the 1960s the U.S. federal court system practiced a________ policy with respect to corrections; ultimately giving more power and discretion back to individual states correctional systems. (m) The term effective notice means notice in a language understood by the prisoner who receives the notice; if that prisoner is unable to read, effective notice requires correctional staff to read and explain the relevant information, using an interpreter if necessary. (c) Correctional administrators and officials should adopt a formal procedure for resolving specific prisoner grievances, including any complaint relating to the agencys or facilitys policies, rules, practices, and procedures or the action of any correctional official or staff. (a) Correctional authorities should afford prisoners a reasonable opportunity to maintain telephonic communication with people and organizations in the community, and a correctional facility should offer telephone services with an appropriate range of options at the lowest possible rate, taking into account security needs. (a) Correctional authorities should implement a system that allows each prisoner, regardless of security classification, to communicate health care needs in a timely and confidential manner to qualified health care professionals, who should evaluate the situation and assess its urgency. (g) Courts should be permitted to implement rules to protect defendants and courts from vexatious litigation, but governmental authorities should not retaliate against a prisoner who brings an action in court or otherwise exercises a legal right. A competent prisoner who refuses food should not be force-fed except pursuant to a court order. (c) A prisoner has the right to refuse proffered accommodations related to a disability or other special needs, provided that the refusal does not pose a security or safety risk. In addition, the handbook should set forth the facilitys policy forbidding staff sexual contact or exploitation of prisoners, and the procedures for making complaints, filing grievances, and appealing grievance denials, as well as describing any types of complaints deemed not properly the subject of the grievance procedures. Governmental authorities should provide appropriate health care to children in such facilities. (c) A prisoner who refuses testing or treatment for a serious communicable disease should be housed in a medically appropriate setting until a qualified health care professional can ascertain whether the prisoner is contagious. The evaluation process should include mechanisms by which prisoners can provide both positive and negative comments about their care. Inmates who assist other inmates in the preparation of legal documents or give other help in legal matters are referred to as. Physical restraints should be used only as a last resort and their use should comply with the limitations in Standard 23-5.9. (c) Correctional authorities should whenever practicable allow each prisoner not in segregated housing to eat in a congregate setting, whether that is a specialized room or a housing area dayroom, absent an individualized decision that a congregate setting is inappropriate for a particular prisoner. (c) In an emergency situation requiring the immediate involuntary transfer of a prisoner with serious mental illness to a dedicated mental health facility because of a serious and imminent risk to the safety of the prisoner or others, the chief executive of a correctional facility should be authorized to order such a transfer, but the procedural protections set out in subdivision (b) of this Standard should be provided within [7 days] after the transfer. Correctional authorities should be permitted to require prisoners able to perform cleaning tasks to do so, with necessary materials and equipment provided to them regularly and without charge. (c) Each state legislature should establish an authority to promulgate and enforce standards applicable to jails and local detention facilities in the state. (iii) as a last alternative after other reasonable efforts to resolve the situation have failed. Except in the event of an emergency lockdown of less than [72 hours] in which security necessitates denial of such access, prisoners should be afforded access to showers, correspondence, delivery of legal materials, and grievance procedures. Each prisoner should receive a comprehensive medical and mental health assessment by qualified medical and mental health professionals no later than [14 days] after admission to a correctional facility, and a comprehensive medical assessment periodically thereafter, which should include mental health screening. Correctional authorities should offer high school equivalency classes, post-secondary education, apprenticeships, and similar programs designed to facilitate re-entry into the workforce upon release. (b) Only the most severe disciplinary offenses, in which safety or security are seriously threatened, ordinarily warrant a sanction that exceeds [30 days] placement in disciplinary housing, and no placement in disciplinary housing should exceed one year. Whenever practicable, a qualified health care professional should participate in efforts to avoid using four- or five-point restraints. (v) to enforce an order after a prisoner has been immobilized or a threat has been neutralized. (iii) For telephonic contact between counsel and their clients: A. correctional officials should implement procedures to enable confidential telephonic contact between counsel and a prisoner who is a client, prospective client, or witness, subject to reasonable regulations, and should not monitor or record properly placed telephone conversations between counsel and such a prisoner; and. Control techniques should be intended to minimize injuries to both prisoners and staff. A correctional health care system should include an ongoing evaluation process to assess and improve the health care provided to prisoners and to enable health care staff to institute corrective care or other action as needed. Smaller facilities should be permitted to provide for prisoners health care needs by transferring them to other facilities or health care providers, but should have equipment that is reasonably necessary in light of its preexisting transfer arrangements. Correctional authorities should implement procedures to permit prisoners to wear street clothes when they appear in court before a jury.
