(1) The bureau shall establish uniform rules and disciplinary sanctions to guide the conduct of all prisoners, which rules shall designate major and minor infractions.

(2) Printed rules and possible disciplinary sanctions shall be given to each prisoner and/or posted conspicuously throughout each facility. Non-English speaking prisoners shall be informed of the rules either orally, in writing or by posted signs in the appropriate language.

(3) All major infractions of the rules shall be reported in writing to the shift supervisor prior to shift change by the staff member observing or discovering the act. Such reports shall become a part of the prisoner’s record.

(4) Minor Infractions. Minor violations of the rules may be handled informally by any staff member by reprimand, warning or minor sanctions as defined by department rules. Such incidents may become part of the prisoner’s record only with notification to the prisoner and the prisoner’s willingness to accept informal sanctions. If the prisoner is unwilling to accept informal adjustment, a rule violation will be submitted.
