POLICY STATEMENT
It is the policy of the Idaho Board of Correction that the Idaho Department of Correction
(IDOC) promulgate (1) rules for offender conduct, and (2) procedures to ensure fairness and
due process for alleged violations of IDOC rules.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to communicate the Board’s philosophy regarding the IDOC’s
offender disciplinary system.
SCOPE
This policy applies to all procedures created under the authority of this policy and to all
IDOC correctional facilities (to include community work centers [CWCs] and privately
managed facilities) and probation and parole districts.
RESPONSIBILITY
The director of the IDOC and division chiefs are responsible for (1) overseeing the
implementation of this policy, and (2) the development and implementation of a standard
operating procedure (SOP) that provides guidance to staff for overseeing and administering

• Identifying rules and behaviors that result in disciplinary action;
• Establishing a range of sanctions that may be imposed when a violation of the rules
is confirmed;
• Issuing infractions and conducting the infraction hearing process;
