Chapter 5 – Adult Custody and Security Operations

52080.9 Conduct Reportable to the Board of Parole Hearings

• Rules of the Board of Parole Hearings (BPHBoard of Parole Hearings (formerly Board of Prison Terms)) require that specific acts of an incarcerated person’s conduct be reported to the BPHBoard of Parole Hearings (formerly Board of Prison Terms) when the incarcerated person has an established or anticipated release date.

• At the discretion of the BPHBoard of Parole Hearings (formerly Board of Prison Terms), a rescission hearing may be held in conjunction with a disciplinary hearing for conduct that is also reportable to the BPHBoard of Parole Hearings (formerly Board of Prison Terms).

• BPHBoard of Parole Hearings (formerly Board of Prison Terms) staff may sit in the fact finding and disposition phase of a disciplinary hearing held in conjunction with a rescission hearing by the BPHBoard of Parole Hearings (formerly Board of Prison Terms), however, they shall not act as fact finders or decision makers in the Department’s disposition of disciplinary charges against an incarcerated person. BPHBoard of Parole Hearings (formerly Board of Prison Terms) staff may participate in the fact finding phase of the disciplinary hearing as deemed necessary to bring out information that will aid them in determining an appropriate action relative to the incarcerated person’s scheduled or anticipated release.

• The scheduling of a combined departmental disciplinary hearing and a BPHBoard of Parole Hearings (formerly Board of Prison Terms) recission hearing does not stay the time limits for a disciplinary hearing in which good time credit may be denied on a determinate term of imprisonment.
