004.00.09 Ark. Code R. § 001 - AR 113: Farm Produced Commodities, AR 837: Protective Custody
The authority to promulgate the administrative regulation is vested in Act 50 of 1968, First
Extraordinary Session, as amended; Act 482 of 1979, Regular Session, as amended.
To establish policy and describe the procedures concerning the sale of farm produced commodities in a consistent and timely manner.
To the Board of Corrections, Director, Deputy Director of Operations, Purchasing Manager, and employees involved in the process of farm commodity sales.
It shall be the policy of the Department of Correction to seek the best available markets for the sale of farm produced commodities.
All Farm produced commodities and livestock are sold upon the recommendation of the Director, the Deputy Director of Operation or their designee (Farm Administraor) or the Farm Marketing Expert. All sales require notification of the designated Board Member and other individuals as required by Arkansas State procurement law.
The Department shall provide Protective Custody housing at certain units/centers within the Arkansas Department of Correction. This housing space must restrict unauthorized and unsupervised contact with the general population. Inmates may request to be placed in protective custody if they believe that their safety is being threatened in the general population. The unit/center administration may elect to place an inmate in protective custody if they believe he/she is in danger. Inmates whom the unit/center administration believes may cause (or be in) security risks to the good order and safety of the institution may be assigned temporarily to Protective Custody status. Inmates assigned to temporary 'protective custody status remain in that status until a determination is made by the Unit Classification Committee that they should return to the general population or remain in Protective Custody or transfer to another unit.
Often an inmate assigned to Protective Custody may have a conflict with other inmates assigned to Protective Custody. Care should be taken by the Chief of Security or designee as to cell assignment, job assignment, recreation, etc., in an effort to maximize each inmate's safety. Programmatic accommodations should be comparable to those provided for the general population commensurate with good correctional security practice.
An inmate may be placed in Protective Custody on a temporary basis upon the approval of the Warden/Assistant Warden/Chief of Security or designee.
An inmate temporarily assigned to Protective Custody will have his/her status reviewed by the Classification Committee after seven days. If the temporary stay in Protective Custody is more than seven days, his/her status will be reviewed in accordance with American Accreditation Standards (ACA) The inmate may appear before the Classification Committee unless a less restrictive classification is being made or security or other concerns warrant non-appearance of the inmate.
