N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. Tit. 7 § 1701.7 - Movement of inmates after selection for double-cell housing
(a) No inmate may
refuse placement in double-cell housing.
(b) The movement of inmates out of
double-cell housing shall be the responsibility of the deputy superintendent
for security.
(c) The movement of
an inmate out of double-cell housing shall be based upon the length of time in
double-cell housing, the needs of the facility, and the inmate's medical needs,
program and work assignments.
(d)
No inmate shall be confined in a double-cell for a period of more than 60 days
unless such inmate volunteers to remain in the double-cell for a longer period
of time. At the expiration of the 60 days, if an inmate does not volunteer to
remain in a double-cell, the inmate shall be moved to a single-cell or multiple
occupancy housing at either his or her current facility or a new facility.
(e) Inmates in double-cell housing
will be specifically assigned to either the upper or lower bunk and may not
change such assignment without the approval of the deputy superintendent for
security or designee. If the lower bunk was assigned for medical reasons, the
deputy superintendent for security or designee shall consult with medical staff
before any change.
