Sec. 1701.6. Personal property

(a) Inmates will be responsible for proper storage of property and the neat and orderly appearance of their individual cell space.

(b) Double-cell property limit.

Personal property possessed by each inmate in a double-cell shall be limited to the amount of property that will fit in three standard draft bags (including legal material). Personal property shall be stored in the individual locker. Any property beyond what can be stored in the individual locker may be stored in two draft bags provided by the department for storage of property. The floor space under the bottom bunk bed may be used by both inmates for storage of property. Of the total available space under the bottom bed, the half closest to the cell door will be utilized by the inmate assigned to the bottom bunk. The remaining space may be utilized by the inmate assigned to the top bunk.

(c) Secure area storage.

In addition to the property inmates may store in a double-cell, each inmate may elect to store up to two standard draft bags of personal property in a secure area designated by the superintendent for the duration of his or her double-cell assignment. Form #2064 will be utilized to inventory all stored property. Upon written request, the inmate will be given access to such stored property once every 30 days to withdraw or store items.

(d) Inmate personal property beyond the amount permitted in the cell and the two bags held in storage, will be disposed of pursuant to the department's established procedure regarding the disposal of surplus or disallowed property.
