~

Attached please find a copy of the revised DC·ADM 803. "Inmate Mail and
Incoming Publications" policy. The following changes were made in this version.

1. The incorporation of policy bulletins DC-ADM 803·1, DC-ADM 803·2, DC-ADM
803·3, DC-ADM 803-4. and DC·ADM 803·5.
2. The definition at "reasonable quantity" was deleted, as there was an error in
the reference to 9.6 cubic feet of storage space The amount of space of one
footlocker and two records boxes does not equal 9.8 cubic feet.
3. A definition of Storage Space has been added. The new definition reads as
follows:

Inmates in general popUlation shall be permitted storage space equal to four
records center boxes. This space may be made up of the four records center
boxes or orle footlocker and two record center boxes. In cells that i18ve a builtin, or a free standing storage cabinet, the inmate is permitted to use that space
and either two records center boxes or one footlocker.
Inmates in Disciplinary Custody status shall be permitted storage space in
accordance with Department policy DC-ADM 801, "Inmate Discip#ne."
Inmates in Administrative Custody status shall be permitted storage space in
accordance with Department policy DC-ADM 802, "Administrative Custody
Procedures, " Capital Case inmates shall be permitted storage space in
accordance with Department policy 6.5.8, "Capital Case Administration."

4. §VI. F. 4. b. (9) was deleted as this language was already contained in
subsection VI. A. 12.

ReIssue of Policy. DC·ACM 803, "Inmate Mall and Incoming Publicatons"
Page 2 of 5

5. §VI. D. 1. a. was reworded te read, "The facility's mailroom staff shall open
and inspect all incoming non..privileged correspondence." The phrase
"facility's mailroom staff shall" replaced the phrase "facility may" and the
remainder of the sentence was deleted. The reason for the deletior: is that this
language was also incfuded in §VI. D. 1.b.

6. A new. §Vl. D. 1. b, was added that reads, "Any item or material in nonprivileged correspondence (e.g. internet pages, news articles, etc.) that is
questionable in natLire shall be reviewed by the Incor.ting Publication Review
Committee for possible violations of §Vl. F. 3. a. and/or §VI. F. 3. b. of this
pohcy."
This change was made in response to a concern raised by one of the fasilihes
ihat noticed an increase in the number of printed internet pages that were
accompanyir.g non-privileged correspondence.

7. §VI. D. 1. b. was renumbered as §VI. D. 1, c. due to the new subsection being
added.

8 The new procedures for handling incoming mall from the court or an inmate's
attorney have been incorporated into this version. (§Vl. B. 2.) These procedures
reQuire that the envelope used to mail the dccuments must be marked with a
Department stamp. (§VI. B. 2. t.) A stamp has been developed and a sample has
been attached to this me110 (Attachment A). Central Office will have the stamps
made and one will be supp:led to eactl facility.

9. §VI. B. 2. j. states, "An attorney who is unable to comply witr, the above
procedures, and unable to communicate with an inmate client through other
means, and written communication is the only reasonable way to transmit the
information, may seek advance permission from the Facility Manager at the
facility where the inmate is housed, to have correspondence delivered in some
other manner. The request must be in writing. shall explain why compliance
WIth these procedures is not possible. and shall propose an alternative means
of having the correspondence searched and delivered to the inmate. If the
Attorney provides no proposed alternative, the Facility Manager shall provide
an alternative with which the attorney shall comply."
The alternative shall be to allow the Attorney to mail the information to the
inmate via a postal carrier. When it is received at the institution, mailroom staff
shall open and inspect the mail in the mailroom. However. the opening and
inspection of the mail shall be video recorded and a log mamtained of all such
items opened outside the presence of the inmate. When inspections are to be
recorded, the staff member shall ensure that the following information is stated
on camera prior to conductir.g the inspections:

1. The name of the facility;

2. The date and time; and
