California's Screening Criteria for Clinical Input into the Disciplinary Process
| The inmate is housed in an inpatient psychiatric unit. |
| The inmate is receiving intensive outpatient treatment. |
| The inmate is receiving routine outpatient treatment and has been charged with misconduct that may result in a segregation term and credit forfeiture (loss of “good time”). |
| The inmate has been identified as having a developmental or cognitive disability. |
| The inmate engaged in indecent exposure or masturbation while clothed. |
| The inmate displayed behavior that was bizarre or unusual for any inmate or uncharacteristic for the particular inmate at the time of the offense. |
An inmate who meets any of these criteria requires a mental health assessment prior to the disciplinary hearing. The criteria are adapted from California's Code of Regulations, Title 15, Division 3, § 3317(b).32
