Section 50.6
Disposition versions
50.6. Administrative segregation lasts 72 hours. It may be extended once for a 24-hour period if the manager in charge has reasonable grounds to believe that the inmate has taken medicine to prevent expelling the contraband.
In addition, the manager in charge may impose a new administrative segregation measure on an inmate in the following cases:
(1) if the inmate has again ingested or inserted the contraband;
(2) if a body scan search conducted when the inmate is leaving an administrative segregation cell in accordance with this Regulation gives reasons to believe that the inmate is still hiding contraband on his or her person;
(3) if the inmate refuses, without a justifiable medical reason, to submit to a body scan search conducted when the inmate is leaving an administrative segregation cell in accordance with this Regulation;
(4) if the inmate cannot be submitted to a body scan search for a justifiable medical reason or the device used to conduct a body scan search is not available, if there are still reasonable grounds to believe that the inmate is hiding contraband on his or her person.
In all cases, administrative segregation must end as soon as a body scan search confirms that the inmate is not hiding contraband on his or her person. If the inmate cannot be submitted to a body scan search for a justifiable medical reason or the device used to conduct a body scan search is not available, administrative segregation must end as soon as it is possible to confirm by other means that the inmate is not hiding contraband on his or her person, in particular because the contraband has been expelled.
36. Administrative segregation lasts 72 hours. It ends before that time if the inmate expels the contraband. It may also be extended once for a 24-hour period if the manager in charge has reasonable grounds to believe that the inmate has taken medicine to prevent expelling the contraband. In addition, a new administrative segregation measure may be imposed if an inmate has again ingested the contraband.
