Management of “High Alert” AICs

(1) Adults in Custody (AIC) identified by the department as “high alert” management AICs may be managed by the department’s STM Unit.
(2) AIC Management Plans: The STM lieutenant will develop an approved AIC Management Plan for each AIC identified by the department as a “high alert” management AIC.
(a) The AIC Management Plan will be in writing and describe the behavior or other circumstance(s) that resulted in the AIC’s identification as “high alert,” and the department’s corresponding program and behavior expectations for the AIC.
(b) The AIC Management Plan may direct the denial, removal, suspension, restriction, or modification of AIC programs, services, or activities for the AIC to encourage the AIC to modify their behavior to conform to department rules, standards, and staff expectations, and to advance the AIC towards appropriate pro-social behavior, in accordance with these rules.
(c) The AIC Management Plan will document any denial, removal, suspension, restriction, or modification of AIC programs, services, or activities ordered for the AIC.
(d) The STM lieutenant will provide each high alert AIC with a copy of the AIC’s AIC Management Plan.
(3) Denial, Removal, Suspension, Restriction or Modification of AIC Programs, Services or Activities:
(a) Facility Programs, Work Assignments, and Clubs: An AIC under the management of the STM Unit may be denied participation in, or may be removed from, any work or program assignment, group activity, or club if the AIC’s participation is determined to present an undue risk to the safe, secure, orderly, or efficient operation and management of the facility or as a part of an approved AIC Management Plan.
(b) Other AIC Programs, Services, and Activities: An AIC under the management of the STM Unit may have other AIC programs, services, and activities suspended, restricted, or modified by the department. Programs, services, and activities that may be affected include, but are not limited to, recreation yard, housing assignments, work assignments, canteen use, telephone use (except legal calls), visiting (except attorney visits), mail (except legal mail), and television services.
(A) An AIC Management Plan that directs the suspension, restriction, or modification of programs or services to an AIC for 90 days or less requires the approval of an STM Lieutenant.
(B) An AIC Management Plan that directs the suspension, restriction, or modification of programs or services to an AIC in excess of 90 days requires the approval of the Inspector General or an Assistant Inspector General.
(C) Any suspension, restriction, or modification of programs or services provided to an AIC will be in accordance with the STM Restriction Scale. (Attachment B).
(4) Temporary Placement in Disciplinary Segregation: With the approval of the functional unit manager or designee or the officer-in-charge, the STM lieutenant may order the immediate temporary placement of an AIC in disciplinary segregation when in his or her judgment the assignment is necessary to further the department’s management of a specific security threat, or the safe, secure and orderly operation and management of the facility. An AIC managed by the STM unit will not be placed in temporary segregation beyond five working days; otherwise the placement will be considered Administrative Segregation in accordance with OAR 291-046.
(5) Transfers:
(a) An AIC under management of the STM Unit may be transferred to any facility, in or out of state, in accordance with the AIC’s AIC Management Plan, the department’s overall security threat management plan, interstate compact agreements, and population or program management needs.
(b) The Interstate Compact Unit staff shall notify the STM Assistant Inspector General or designee of any AIC requesting transfer to or from Oregon where security threat group affiliation or security threat behavior is suspected.
