1. (a) The case of every incarcerated person assigned to a restricted housing unit will be continuously reviewed and evaluated by custodial and casework staff assigned to the unit. Staff will confer on each case no less frequently than once a week during the first two months of the incarcerated person's restricted housing status. Such case reviews will not be necessary during any week in which the incarcerated person's case is reviewed by a regular or special classification committee or by staff who are authorized to take classification actions. Any significant observations, determinations or recommendations will be documented on the incarcerated person's automated Restricted Housing Record Form (Rev. 11/23), which is incorporated by reference.
2. (b) Psychological Assessment. A psychological assessment of the incarcerated person's mental health will be included in the case review and classification committee review of incarcerated persons assigned to restricted housing units. When any indication of psychiatric or psychological problems exists, the case will be referred to the institution's psychiatrist or psychologist for further evaluation and recommended classification committee actions, if any.
