I. Purpose of the Policy
The purpose of this order is to provide policy and standards for a uniform application of inmate discipline within the Department of Corrections (DOC). #
A. Discussion
1. Objectives of inmate discipline are: a. To address violations of rules and regulations; b. To encourage improved inmate behavior; c. To ensure safety and security of facilities, inmates, and personnel; and d. To meet legal requirements of inmate discipline. 2. It is the responsibility of all personnel to maintain appropriate discipline within DOC facilities. 3. Discipline shall not be arbitrary nor capricious, nor in the nature of retaliation or revenge. Corporal punishment of any kind is prohibited. [FCAC 11.12M, FMJS 15.12] 4. Not all rule infractions require sanctions. 5. In Booking, during the admission process, all inmates are given a copy of the Form P-0344 (Inmate Orientation Handbook), which contains facility rules and regulations and associated penalties. 6. Translation services regarding the rules, regulations, and penalties shall be provided in accordance with Order 504 (Providing Services for Disabled Individuals). #
B. General Discipline Procedures
1. Corrections personnel, contract employees, civilians, and volunteers who work with inmates shall receive sufficient training in order to be familiar with the rules of inmate conduct. 2. Electronic Disciplinary Report shall complete a written statement and forward it to their liaison officer or, in their absence, the appropriate area supervisor. The liaison officer or area supervisor shall determine what type of action is warranted and shall be responsible for ensuring the incident is documented appropriately. Minor infractions shall be documented in the inmate’s notes in JMS. 3. Electronic Disciplinary Reports will clearly document the appropriate rule violation as listed in Appendix A, Rules of Prohibited Conduct and Penalties, of this order. 4. Officers may determine that it is necessary to remove an inmate from the area where the violation occurred in order to deliver counseling. Officers will notify the area supervisor and ensure the counseling takes place as soon as practical after the violation and the wait is not prolonged as a means of additional punishment for the inmate. 5. The Classification Lieutenant shall ensure the rules of inmate conduct and disciplinary procedures governing inmate rule violation are reviewed annually and updated as necessary. #
C. Response Options for Rule Violations
1. Officers observing or responding to inmate rule violations shall determine if the violation is minor or serious. 2. Officers shall determine whether the situation warrants: a. A verbal warning and/or educating the inmate; b. A notation for minor infractions entered in the inmate’s notes in JMS; or c. An Electronic Disciplinary Report in JMS. 3. Electronic Disciplinary Reports must be generated for: a. Serious violations; and b. Violations that result in criminal charges. 4. Criminal charges shall be considered in the case of serious violations. When criminal charges are placed for a rule violation, an Electronic Disciplinary Report shall be generated. 5. Where cameras are available, personnel shall view the actions of the inmate on video prior to determining the appropriate discipline option. 6. Officers are encouraged to use discretion and sound judgment when deciding the appropriate manner in which to correct minor rule violations. Officers are encouraged to counsel and/or educate the inmate as a first course of action when observing minor rule violations and/or acts of non-compliance. 7. Inmates found to be inappropriately exposing themselves, masturbating, or exhibiting any sexually offensive conduct towards any individual shall receive an Electronic Disciplinary Report for each offense. Criminal charges shall be filed if appropriate. Verbal warnings or minor infractions are not considered appropriate options for this type of behavior. #
D. Verbal Warnings
1. Personnel observing minor rule violations may determine that a verbal warning is appropriate. Verbal warnings shall not be used for serious violations. 2. Verbal warnings are attempts to shape the inmate’s behavior in lieu of generating an Electronic Disciplinary Report. Some inmates may not be responsive to counseling and an Electronic Disciplinary Report may be a more appropriate course of action. 3. Officers shall deliver the counseling in a positive manner. 4. Officers shall document the counseling in accordance with Order 613 (Corrections Reporting and Documentation). #
E. Disciplinary Reports
1. An Electronic Disciplinary Report shall be generated when a member (corrections or civilian) witnesses an act, has reason to believe that an act has occurred, or is informed of an act that has been committed by an inmate which is in violation of the rules of prohibited conduct and the member determines evidence exists that disciplinary action is warranted. 2. Officers and area supervisors involved in generating, investigating, and/or approval process of an Electronic Disciplinary Report shall follow established time frames as listed in Order 613 (Corrections Reporting and Documentation). 3. Forms P-1470 (Inmate Disciplinary Report) shall be completed and recorded in the JMS in accordance with Order 613 (Corrections Reporting and Documentation). [FMJS 15.10, FCAC 11.05] #
F. Disciplinary Hearing Officers [FCAC 11.03, FMJS 15.4]
1. Disciplinary hearings shall be conducted by a corrections officer who did not witness the infraction and did not take part in the investigative section of the Electronic Disciplinary Report. 2. For the purpose of this order, the officer assigned and responsible for conducting disciplinary hearings will be referred to as the Disciplinary Hearing Officer. The Disciplinary Hearing Officer shall conduct disciplinary hearings Monday through Friday excluding weekends and holidays. 3. The on-duty watch lieutenant may appoint a corrections officer to conduct an emergency disciplinary hearing on weekends, holidays or after normal business hours. #
G. Disciplinary Hearing Time Frames [FCAC 11.03, 11.06, FMJS 15.8]
1.

His decision must be justified and he must document the reason on the Electronic Disciplinary Report in JMS. #
H. Disciplinary Hearing Proceedings
1. Disciplinary hearings shall be conducted at the facility housing the inmate at the time of the rule violation when possible. 2. The Disciplinary Hearing Officer shall be assigned an inmate worker, who was not involved in the incident, to observe the proceedings but not participate in the hearing.

Offer personnel assistance to the inmate if he/she has a language barrier, needs Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accommodations, is illiterate, or cannot properly understand the charges against him/her; [FCAC 11.06M, FMJS 15.2, 15.9] d. Ask the inmate how he/she wishes to plead to the charges: (1) A plea of “in violation” will not require any further evidence to be heard; (2) A plea of “not in violation” will require the hearing to proceed; and (3) A refusal to plea shall be treated as a “not in violation” plea. e. Ask the inmate if he/she would like to explain the circumstances or make a statement; f. Call for supporting documents/evidence or relevant witnesses on behalf of the inmate or reporting member if indicated; and [FCAC 11.07M, FMJS 15.9] g. Continue the hearing to resolve questionable testimony if necessary. 8. When all questions are resolved, the inmate charged with the violation and the inmate observer may be dismissed to allow the Disciplinary Hearing Officer an opportunity to deliberate. 9. The Disciplinary Hearing Officer’s decision shall be based solely on information obtained in the hearing process to include reports, statements of the inmate charged, and evidence derived from witnesses and documents. [FCAC 11.10, FMJS 15.10] 10. Upon reaching a decision, the Disciplinary Hearing Officer shall inform the inmate of his/her decision and recommendation. If the inmate was found to be in violation, he/she shall be advised of his/her right to appeal the decision within five working days to the Division Chief or designee. A Form P-1482 (Appeal of Disciplinary Action) shall be offered to the inmate. The Disciplinary Hearing Officer shall request another member to assist the inmate in completing the form if necessary.

L. Criminal Prosecution
1. Corrections officers shall consult with their supervisor to determine if placement of criminal charges is appropriate. If there is enough evidence to support criminal charges, an Electronic Disciplinary Report must be generated. 2. If an inmate commits an act in violation of F.S.S. or municipal ordinances, the facts of the incident shall be reviewed by the watch lieutenant or higher authority to determine if new criminal charges are warranted. 3. For incidents involving battery in a detention facility (F.S.S. 784.082), probable cause must exist for arrest and prosecution. Probable cause may be determined by: a. Witnesses to the incident; b. Video evidence of the crime; and/or c. Physical evidence of a crime, such as visible injuries or other corroborating evidence. 4. When an inmate continually violates rules of prohibited conduct, it may be necessary to criminally charge him/her with Violation of Institutional Rules and Regulations in accordance with F.S.S. 951.23 (10). It is a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in F.S.S. 775.082 or F.S.S. 775.083 for a county prisoner or municipal prisoner in a county detention facility to knowingly, on two or more occasions, violate a posted rule governing the conduct of prisoners if the rule prohibits any of the acts listed in F.S.S. 951.23 (10). a. Before a criminal charge is initiated, verification of all prior violations of institutional rules and regulations to establish the “knowingly, on two or more occasions” clause of the statute must be made. The verification shall be made by: (1) CTC – CTC Security & Services Lieutenant; (2) MCC – MCC Security Lieutenant; and (3) PDF – Classification Lieutenant. b. It is not required that an inmate violate the same rule more than once to be charged under F.S.S. 775.082 or F.S.S. 775.083. Multiple violations can be established based on the inmate’s past disciplinary record when the inmate was found to be in violation of “rules of prohibited conduct” at a disciplinary hearing. #
Appendix A: Department of Corrections Rules of Prohibited Conduct and Penalties for Infractions
The following rules of prohibited conduct and penalties for infractions shall be applicable to all sections of the Department of Corrections.

The penalties established herein are maximum penalties for indicated infractions. The Disciplinary Hearing Officer may elect to recommend any lesser penalty. Infractions while in disciplinary confinement may result in additional disciplinary measures. Gain time lost due to disciplinary action may be reinstated by the Chief of the facility where the inmate is housed. For the purpose of these rules, gain time shall be defined as earned gain time, unearned gain time, earned extra gain time, and unearned extra gain time.
