## Text

Section 504
Section 504.40  Investigative
Status and Temporary Confinement
The shift supervisor shall
determine whether or not it is necessary to place the offender in investigative
status or in temporary confinement status pending a disciplinary hearing or a
determination whether to issue a disciplinary or investigative report in
accordance with Section 504.30.  If the offender has been diagnosed as
seriously mentally ill, the shift supervisor shall ensure a mental health
professional completes a documented review of the offender within 48 hours and
provides his or her recommendation for temporary confinement to the Chief
Administrative Officer.  The Chief Administrative Officer shall also have the
authority to release the offender from temporary confinement.  The decision to
place an offender in investigative status or temporary confinement may be
based, among other matters, on:
a)         The aggressiveness of the offender;
b)         The threat posed to the safety and security of the facility or
any person;
c)         The need to restrict the offender's access to general
population to protect the individual from injury or to conduct the
investigation;
d)         The seriousness of the offense; or
e)         Contraindication for placement determined by a mental health
professional.
