Wash. Admin. Code § 137-28-140
The rules in this chapter provide a standardized system to determine whether misconduct by an incarcerated individual has occurred, and to provide a system that clearly links an incarcerated individual's behavior and participation in available work, training, education, or other programming as determined through classification with the receipt or denial of earned release time and other privileges as outlined in department policy.
The rules in this chapter shall not apply to proceedings of the indeterminate sentence review board.
The following rules set forth procedural guidelines. They do not create any procedural or substantive rights in any person, including any liberty interests in time credits, levels of custody, classification status, or other privileges. In accordance with Washington statutes, such matters are governed solely by the discretion of the department of corrections.
