The ICT shall document on Form DC6-233C that the inmate was allowed at least 48 hours to prepare for the review. The ICT shall inquire whether the inmate needs staff assistance. A staff member shall be assigned to assist an inmate when the ICT determines that the inmate is illiterate or does not understand English, has a disability that would hinder the inmate's ability to represent himself or herself, or when the complexity of the issues makes it unlikely that the inmate will be able to properly represent himself or herself. Assistance can also be provided at the inmate's request.

The SCO will approve, disapprove, or modify the ICT's recommendation, or obtain further information from the ICT before reaching a final decision. If the ICT's recommendation is disapproved or modified by the SCO, the inmate will be informed of the decision in writing by the SCO. Inmate notification will not be required when the SCO approves the ICT's recommendation. After the review is complete, the SCO will document its decision in OBIS. A copy of Form DC6-233C will be kept in the inmate record file.(4) Transfers from a Non-Close Management Institution.(a) Once a CM recommendation is made, the ICT will also enter a transfer recommendation in OBIS.(b) The inmate will remain in administrative or current confinement status pending review and final decision of the SCO. If the inmate's release date from disciplinary confinement expires, the inmate shall be placed in administrative confinement until the review and decision is made by the SCO.(c) If placement in CM is approved, the SCO will document its decision in OBIS and notify Population Management for transfer of the inmate to an appropriate CM institution.(d) If the CM recommendation is disapproved, the SCO will determine if a transfer for other management reasons should be approved.

(a) If an inmate in CM is reassigned to another level of CM that requires transfer to another institution, the time spent awaiting transfer will be taken into consideration when setting the schedule of reviews by the ICT at the receiving institution.(b) To transfer an inmate in CM to another CM institution, the following will occur: 1. The ICT from the sending institution will recommend the appropriate level of CM based upon the criteria and facts for placement prior to the transfer.2. Transfers will be limited to those inmates in CM as follows: a. When an inmate is being recommended for a CM level that the sending institution is not capable of providing, based on institutional mission or CM stratification issues, orb. Situations that involve special reviews. Inmates with protection or threat reviews involving inmates housed at the same CM institution will be handled within the CM unit and, unless exceptional circumstances exist, will not be transferred from one CM institution to another based solely on these reviews, orc. Situations that require an inmate to be moved to a higher-level institution.(c) The recommendation by the ICT to transfer a CM inmate will be reviewed by the SCO. If approved, the SCO will submit notification to Population Management for transfer of the inmate. The receiving institution shall then place the inmate directly into the approved CM level without completing an additional evaluation.(d) If the transfer recommendation is disapproved, the SCO will provide written notification to the ICT of the requesting institution of its decision not to transfer.(e) After the review is complete, the SCO will document its decision in OBIS.(6) Close Management Institutions and Facilities.(a) The number of inmates housed in a CM cell will not exceed the number of bunks in the cell.(b) The only exception to paragraph (6)(a) is during an emergency situation as declared by the warden or duty warden.

Other types of pens or pencils shall be confiscated and stored until the inmate is released from CM. If a security pen is not available, the inmate shall be allowed to sign out a regular pen from the confinement unit officer. All care shall be taken to ensure that an inmate who requests access to a pen in order to prepare legal documents or legal mail or to file a grievance with the Department has access to a pen for a time period sufficient to prepare the legal mail, documents, or grievance. Inmates shall be allowed to purchase security pens pursuant to paragraph (10)(g) of this rule. An inmate who has been provided an authorized auxiliary aid will be allowed access to such for the purpose of reading and preparing correspondence.(l) Reading Materials - Reading materials are allowed in CM unless they pose a threat to the safety, security, or sanitation of the institution. An inmate may possess up to three personal soft cover books. If it is determined that the books pose a safety, security, or sanitation risk, the items will be removed. Such removal will be documented on Form DC6-229. If items are removed in order to prevent the inmate from inflicting injury to himself or herself or others, or to prevent the destruction of property or equipment, staff shall reassess the need for continued restriction every 72 hours thereafter. Based on these reassessments, the warden will make the final determination regarding the continued denial or return of the items. The items will be returned to the inmate when no further behavior or threat of behavior of the type leading to the restriction has occurred during any 72-hour reassessment period. An inmate who receives services from the Bureau of Braille and Talking Book Library will be allowed to possess his or her tape player, devotional or scriptural material tapes, and other books on tape that are in compliance with Rule 33-501.401, F.A.C.(m) Exercise - Those inmates confined on a 24-hour basis excluding showers and clinic trips may exercise in their cells. If the inmate requests a physical fitness program handout, the wellness specialist or the CM officer shall provide the inmate with an in-cell exercise guide and document such on Form DC6-229. In addition, an exercise schedule shall be implemented to ensure a minimum of six hours per week (two hours three days per week) of exercise out of doors. The assignment and participation of an inmate on the restricted labor squad or other outside work squad required to work outside at least one day per week will satisfy the minimum exercise requirements for the week. All outdoor exercise periods shall be documented on Form DC6-229. The ICT is authorized to restrict exercise for an individual inmate only when the inmate is found guilty of a major rule violation as defined in this rule, or if the inmate has a pending disciplinary hearing for a major rule violation as defined in this rule. Inmates shall be notified in writing of this decision and may appeal through the grievance procedure. The denial of exercise shall be for no more than 15 days per incident and for no longer than 30 days in cumulative length. Medical restrictions determined by health services staff can also place limitations on the amount and type of exercise permitted. Such restrictions of exercise periods will be documented on Form DC6-229. A disabled inmate who is unable to participate in the normal exercise program will have an exercise program developed for him or her that will satisfy the need for exercise and take into account the particular inmate's limitations. CM inmates shall be allowed equal access to outdoor exercise areas with exercise stations.(n) At a minimum, wellness services for CM inmates at all levels shall be provided through cell-front tutoring, wellness puzzles, and the wellness education course.(11) Programs and Privileges in Close Management Units.(a) While in CM, an inmate's movement within the institution and contacts with other individuals will be restricted. An inmate's privileges will be limited depending on the specific CM level to which the inmate is assigned. If an inmate transfers to a less restrictive level due to satisfactory adjustment, the adjustment period required for any privilege shall be waived. Upon placement in CM, inmates shall receive a copy of the Close Management Housing Unit Instructions, Form NI1-046. Form NI1-046 is hereby incorporated by reference.

The classification officer must record the inmate's status, upcoming reviews, issues, discussions of significance, action or behavior of the inmate, or any other important information that may have an influence or effect on the inmate's status of confinement.(16) Review of Close Management Status.(a) An ICT member shall review each inmate in CM at least once every week for the first 60 days and once every 30 days thereafter. The ICT member shall be the warden, assistant warden of operations, assistant warden of programs, a chief of security, or classification supervisor. The purposes of this review shall be to reduce the inmate's status to the lowest management level possible or return the inmate to general population as soon as the facts of the case indicate that this can be done safely, and, if applicable, review the inmate's disciplinary confinement status as outlined in subsection 33-602.222(8), F.A.C. If an ICT review for modification of an inmate's CM status, release to general population, or release from disciplinary confinement is indicated upon completion of the ICT member's weekly or 30-day review, the ICT member shall notify the classification supervisor. The classification supervisor shall ensure that the case is placed on the ICT docket for review. During the review, the ICT shall consider the results of the BRAs and mental health evaluations that have been completed prior to the review, and other information relevant to institutional adjustment, staff and inmate safety, and institutional security.(b) All services provided by any mental health or program staff member shall be recorded on Form DC6-229, which shall be kept in the CM unit.(c) When an inmate has not been released to general population and is in any CM status for six months, the classification officer shall interview the inmate and shall prepare a formal assessment and evaluation on Form DC6-233C. Such reports shall include a brief paragraph detailing the basis for the inmate's CM status, the inmate's behavior and activities during the six-month period, and whether the inmate should be released, maintained at the current level, or modified to another level of CM. The case shall be forwarded to the classification supervisor who shall docket the case for ICT review.(d) The ICT shall review the Form DC6-233C prepared by the classification officer, consider the results of BRAs, mental health evaluations, and any other information relevant to institutional adjustment, staff and inmate safety, and institutional security, and insert any other information regarding the inmate's status. If applicable, the ICT shall review the inmate's disciplinary confinement status in accordance with Rule 33-602.222, F.A.C. The inmate shall be present for the review unless he or she demonstrates disruptive behavior, either before or during the review, that impedes the process, or the inmate waives his or her right to be present at the review by completing Form DC6-265. The presence, absence, or removal of the inmate will be documented on Form DC6-233C. The ICT's CM and, if applicable, disciplinary confinement status recommendations shall be documented in OBIS and on Form DC6-233C. If it is determined that no justifiable safety and security issue exists for the inmate to remain in CM, the ICT shall forward its recommendation for release to the SCO for review. For an inmate to remain in CM, the ICT must justify the safety and security issues or circumstances that can only be met by maintaining the inmate at the current level or modifying the inmate to another level of CM.(e) The SCO shall conduct an onsite interview with each inmate at least once every six months or as often as necessary to determine if continuation, modification, or removal from CM status is appropriate. The SCO shall review all reports prepared by the ICT concerning an inmate's CM status and, if applicable, disciplinary confinement status, consider the results of BRAs, mental health evaluations, and any other information relevant to institutional adjustment, staff and inmate safety, and institutional security. The SCO shall interview the inmate unless exceptional circumstances exist or the inmate is approved for release to general population. If it is determined that no justifiable safety and security issues exist for the inmate to remain in CM, the SCO shall cause the inmate to be immediately released. For an inmate to remain in CM, the SCO must determine based on all available information that there are safety and security issues or other circumstances that justify maintaining the inmate at the current level or at a modified level of CM. If applicable and in accordance with Rule 33-602.222, F.A.C., the SCO shall determine whether the inmate is to continue in or be removed from disciplinary confinement status. The SCO's decisions shall be documented in OBIS and on Form DC6-233C. The SCO shall advise the inmate of its decision.(f) Reviews required by this subsection shall be completed regardless of the inmate's housing assignment, including when a CM inmate is housed outside the CM unit in order to access medical or mental health care.(g) Before an inmate is released from CM, written authorization must be obtained by the SCO from the regional director if any of the following apply: 1. The inmate has been convicted, regardless of whether adjudication is withheld, of any assault or battery, or any attempted assault or battery, on a staff member that constitutes a felony that occurred during the inmate's current period of incarceration;2. The inmate has an active detainer as a result of any assault or battery, or any attempted assault or battery, on a staff member that constitutes a felony that occurred during the inmate's current period of incarceration; or3. The inmate is confined in Florida under the Interstate Corrections Compact and has been convicted, regardless of whether adjudication is withheld, of any assault or battery, or any attempted assault or battery, on a staff member that constitutes a felony in the state from which he or she was transferred that occurred during the inmate's current period of incarceration.(17) Close Management Records. (a) A Report of Close Management, Form DC6-233C, shall be kept for each inmate placed in CM.(b) A Daily Record of Special Housing, Form DC6-229, shall be maintained for each inmate as long as the inmate is in CM.

If items that inmates in CM are not prohibited from possessing are denied or removed from the inmate, the shift supervisor or the senior correctional officer must approve the action initially. The Central Office ADA coordinator shall be contacted within 24 hours if any item is removed that would be considered an authorized auxiliary aid or device that ensures a disabled inmate an equal opportunity as a non-disabled inmate. The items denied or removed shall be documented on Form DC6-229 and the chief of security shall make the final decision regarding the action no later than the next working day following the action. Staff shall reassess the need for continued restriction every 72 hours thereafter as outlined in subsection (10) of this rule. The CM unit officer shall make a notation of any unusual occurrences or changes in the inmate's behavior and any action taken. Changes in housing location or any other special action shall also be noted. Form DC6-229 shall be maintained in the housing area for 30 days. After each 30-day review of the inmate by a member of the ICT, Form DC6-229 shall be forwarded to classification to be filed in the institutional inmate record.(c) A Daily Record of Special Housing - Supplemental, Form DC6-229B, shall be completed and attached to the current Form DC6-229 whenever additional written documentation is required concerning an event or incident related to the specific inmate.
