Inmates may refuse to see a visitor. The refusal shall be documented in SOMSStrategic Offender Management on a CDC Form 128-B and shall be signed by the inmate. If the inmate refuses to sign the form, the staff member having knowledge of the refusal shall document the refusal on the CDC Form 128-B.
The original form shall be placed in the inmate’s file and the visitor and the inmate shall be given a copy.
Refusal by the inmate to see a visitor on one occasion shall not result in the visitor’s removal from the approved visitor list, unless the inmate requests removal.
Inmates who desire to remove a visitor from their visiting list shall make a written request to the supervisor in charge of visiting. It is the inmate’s responsibility to notify visitors of their removal from the visiting list.
Visitors shall be removed from the visiting list on the date the request is received by visiting staff for a minimum of six months, and this information shall be recorded in SOMSStrategic Offender Management.
The inmate may make a written request to place the visitor back on the visiting list in accordance with this Section at the conclusion of the six-month period.
