Inmate Discipline: Prohibited Acts

In this document the Bureau of Prisons amends its regulations on inmate discipline regarding violations of the telephone and smoking policies. The amendment establishes a greatest severity category prohibited act for use of the telephone to further criminal activity and a high severity and moderate category prohibited act for use of the telephone for abuses other than criminal activity. Other minor telephone infractions remain covered by the existing low moderate severity level category prohibited act. The amendment also elevates violations of the smoking policy to a moderate category prohibited act. The amendment is intended to address the seriousness of certain types of telephone abuse and deter criminal activity and protect the security and good order of the institution. The amendment is also intended to promote a clean air environment and to protect the health and safety of staff and inmates.
