54046.7 Double‑Cell Assignments in General Population

• Unless approved for single-cell assignment, inmates are expected to share occupancy of living quarters, either in a dormitory setting or within an individual cell. The day of arrival at an institution, or a reception center, an IHR shall be completed, and if the screening authority determines there are no double-cell prohibitions, the inmate shall be expected to double cell. If the inmate refuses to double cell, progressive discipline shall be initiated, and the inmate will be considered for alternative and more restrictive housing.
