31040.4.5.3 Processing Requests for Reasonable Accommodation RAs are processed by the assigned RTWC, through the appropriate chain of command, to the HA, in consultation with OEW as needed or required. The RTWC can receive requests for RA from the requesting employee or any manager or supervisor who received a request for RA from an employee. The RTWC shall review the request for RA and/or medical documentation; work cooperatively with managers and/or supervisors to identify the essential functions of the employee’s position and discuss RA options; and make a recommendation to the HA regarding the request for RA. If the existence of a disability and/or the need for an RA is not obvious, upon receipt of a request for RA, the RTWC shall require the employee to provide medical documentation verifying: the functional limitations that affect the employee’s ability to perform the essential functions of his or her position; the need for a RA; the estimated duration of the RA ; and the health care provider’s expertise to certify the employee’s functional limitations and the need for a RA . Upon receipt of a request for RA due to pregnancy, the RTWC shall require the employee to provide medical certification from her health care provider containing: a description of the requested accommodation; a statement describing the advisability of the RA; the date upon which the need for the RA will become medically advisable; and the estimated duration of the RA. For peace officers, and other classifications that may be required to wear a protective vest, a vest re-fit may be necessary during the emplo yee’s pregnancy. A qualified individual with a disability is entitled to a RA, which may include reassignment to a vacant, budgeted position over other applicants and existing employees, when no accommodation is possible in the employee’s current position; however, when considering a reassignment or other RA, the CDCR is not required to: • Waive the essential functions of the job/classification; • Reduce or transfer the employee’s workload involving essential functions to another employee; • Create additional employment that would not otherwise have been created; • Discharge another employee; • Violate the terms of a collective bargaining agreement or Memorandum of Understanding, including post and bid rules; • Transfer another employee to create a vacancy for a disabled employee; • Promote or transfer any employee who is not qualified to perform the new job and/or who otherwise does not meet civil service requirements or minimum qualifications for such position; or • Provide an accommodation, if the accommodation creates an undue hardship for the CDCR. RAs shall first be considered within the employee’s current position without waiving the essential functions of the job. A RA may include the transfer of the employee to a vacant and budgeted, less strenuous or hazardous position, within the same classification, where the employee is still capable of performing all of the essential functions of his or her classification, when called upon to do so. A RA also can consist of job restructuring, which may include, but is not limited to, reallocation or redistribution of non-essential job functions in a position with multiple responsibilities. If an employee requests a transfer to a less strenuous and/or hazardous position, and a vacant, budgeted position within the same classification does not exist that can accommodate the employee’s restrictions, the employee may elect to continue working in his or her present position, performing all the essential functions of the position, with or without an accommodation, or take leave utilizing his or her own leave credits. The RTWC will refer employees to the FMLA Coordinator to discuss potential eligibility for protected leave under FMLA or CFRA, or if pregnant, to the Personnel Office for information on Pregnancy Disability Leave entitlements. If an RA within the employee’s current classification is not possible, alternate placement, in the form of a transfer or demotion, shall be considered as an RA of last resort. The interactive process shall occur prior to considering alternate placement; and this accommodation shall only be considered after all possible accommodations within the employee’s same classification have been explored. A transfer or demotion shall be considered if: • The employee can no longer perform the essential functions of his or her current position or classification, either with or without a RA; • CDCR cannot provide an RA in the current classification without undue hardship; or • There are no vacant, budgeted positions in the employee’s current classification for which the employee is qualified and can perform the essential functions either with or without a RA. Prior to transferring or demoting an employee, as an accommodation of last resort, documentation (including but not limited to, the employee’s request for RA, documentation of the interactive process, medical reports, a list of essential functions, the emp loyee’s current qualifications, State Application, and resume) must be submitted to OEW for approval and processing. The employee shall meet the minimum qualifications of any proposed position and must be able to perform the essential functions of the proposed position either with or without a RA. Transfers and demotions (except those that occur in compliance with USERRA) shall not result in a salary increase for the affected employee. However, CDCR is required to attempt to place the employee in the highest paid, vacant, budgeted position for which the employee meets the minimum qualifications. If the transfer or demotion is involuntary, the employee shall be given written notice of the medical action and appeal rights, at least 15 calendar days prior to the effective date of the transfer or demotion.

Asset Anything (tangible or intangible) that has value to CDCR. Authentication Authentication is the process of determining whether someone or something is, in fact, who or what it is declared to be. To access most technology services you must provide such proof of identity. In private and public computer networks (including the Internet), authentication is commonly used by requiring login passwords or passphrases; knowledge of such is assumed to guarantee that the user is authentic. Thus, when you are asked to “ authenticate ” to a system, it usually means that you enter your username and/or password for that system. Authorization In computing systems, authorization is the process of determining which permissions a person or system is supposed to have. In multi-user computing systems, a system administrator defines which users are allowed access to the system, as well as the level of privileges they are eligible to access (e.g., access to file directories, hours of access, amount of allocated storage space). Authorization can be seen as both the preliminary setting of permissions by a system administrator, and the actual checking of the permission values when a user obtains access. Authorization is usually preceded by authentication.

62010.4.2.1 Adverse Effect Substantially, adverse effects are: • Involuntary transfer to a higher level institution not commensurate with the inmate ’ s classification score. • Increased custody level. • Involuntary placement in segregated housing. • Involuntary removal from an assigned program. • Placement in a reduced work credit group. Classification Actions Classification actions that may result in adverse effect require: • Written notice to inmate of proposed action and reasons for the action at least 72 hours prior to the hearing. • Delay of the hearing at least 72 hours at the inmate ’ s request when an adverse action is proposed at a classification hearing. If the action cannot be postponed, a CDC Form 128-G will document the reasons. If the inmate waives the 72-hour period, the waiver shall be documented on the CDC Form 128-G. • A counselor/staff assistant may be requested by the inmate to prepare a defense or understand the issues involved in cases not requiring immediate action. Notice When a classification hearing includes the consideration of a newly calculated or recalculated classification score, the inmate shall be provided with a copy of the completed form at least 72 hours in advance of the hearing. The inmate may contest the classification score in the hearing and may appeal the score and hearing results. Form of notice: • The person referring the inmate to classification shall prepare the CDC Form 128-B-1, Notice of Classification Hearing. • A copy of the CDC Form 128-B-1 will act as notification when presented to the inmate. • If the inmate has been served with a CDC Form 114D, Order and Hearing for Placement in Segregated Housing, it is not necessary to complete a CDC Form 128-B-1. 62010.4.3

33010.22.3 Responsibilities Organization The organization (e.g., parole region, facility) experiencing the budget reduction, closure of an office, deactivation, etc. provides OWP with a written notice describing the cause of the surplus and need for involuntary transfer and sends a copy to the Office of Labor Relations (OLR) and the Regional Accounting Office. The classifications and the names of all employees holding appointments in those classifications shall be listed. Any special circumstances surrounding the need for involuntary transfer should be explained. A contact person from the organization shall be identified to act as liaison between the organization and OWP on the process. CDC Form 1822, Involuntary Transfer Worksheet, and Request to Implement Involuntary Transfer Process are to be completed and attached to the memorandum to OWP. It is imperative that OWP be notified as soon as the anticipated involuntary transfer of employees is realized. Ninety days advance written notice will ensure sufficient time for OWP to effect the involuntary transfer of surplus staff. This advance notice will relieve the organization of their surplus situation in a timely manner. Office of Workforce Planning Upon receipt of written notice of an anticipated need to involuntarily transfer employees, OWP staff will review the request, outline the process, and meet with organization staff to discuss the process. There may be specific Bargaining Unit (BU) requirements, seniority calculations, or other considerations to be made prior to the movement of employees. It is essential to carefully review the current MOU for the method of seniority calculation to be used for involuntary transfer. The need to involuntarily transfer employees often varies in that a “surplus” of employees may or may not require that the seniority of all employees in the classification is calculated to ensure that the least senior employees are transferred. Following are conditions under which involuntary transfer may be necessary: • There are 50 employees in the classification of Office Assistant (OA) (Typing) (T) and the program has 50 authorized budgeted OA (T) positions. The program is required to reduce their OA (T) positions by 10 percent which equates to five positions. In order to identify the five least senior employees who will be subject to involuntary transfer to vacant OA (T) positions elsewhere in the Department, seniority must be calculated for all 50 employees. OWP will order seniority from CalHR and effectuate the involuntary transfer of the five least senior employees. • The closure and movement of an office. • A field office is being closed due to the conclusion and nonrenewal of the lease. Another office in another location has been obtained and leased for a lesser cost. Transferring the employees to the new office location would not necessitate seniority calculations, as long as all the employees are being transferred to the same location (new office). However, the employees and affected unions must be given notice consistent with policy, applicable laws, and MOUs. OWP would initiate the notices. • Abolishment of a program. • A vocational program is abolished. There are two positions and both are filled. This classification is used elsewhere in the Department. The classification is frozen through the DROA process. o OWP staff and the Institutional Personnel Officer explore options available to the affected employees such as voluntary transfer to other classifications. • If there are other vacant positions in this classification in the Department, OWP will order seniority scores from CalHR and implement the involuntary transfer of staff. If the vacant positions exist in separate locations, the most senior employee is offered first choice. • OWP prepares and assures the delivery of CDC Form 1822, in accordance with this policy, applicable laws, MOUs, or other negotiated agreements between the State and the unions. Office of Labor Relations The OLR receives a copy of the initial notice sent to OWP of the possible involuntary transfer of employees. The OLR staff reviews any MOU restrictions or requirements with regard to those represented employees affected by an involuntary transfer. Notification of the union(s) is made by OLR staff. If requested by the union, a meet-and-confer on impact will be scheduled. A coordinated effort between OWP and OLR is essential to effectuate a smooth transition of affected employees. Accounting Services The Relocation Coordinator located at Sacramento Accounting Office (SAO) receives a copy of the initial notice sent to OWP of the possible involuntary transfer of employees. The SAO will address any concerns of the employee(s) regarding claiming relocation and moving reimbursement after CDC Form 1822 has been delivered. Upon authorization for the move, the SAO will send a moving and relocation package to the employee. The STD Form 255, Moving Service Authorization, is included in the package to the employee. The employee may receive relocation payment or reimbursement of actual and necessary moving, traveling, lodging, and meal expenses when the employee is required to change residences, as a result of an involuntary transfer for the advantage of the State or a transfer in lieu of layoff. The actual and necessary relocation expenses incurred by a relocating employee, both before and after the change of residence, are defined and controlled pursuant to the State Administrative Manual (SAM) 0721 through 0774, 3800 through 3885, 8572.1 and DPA Rules 599.714 through 599.724. Actual and necessary moving expenses include the following (the amounts are subject to change; consult with the SAO for current per diem rates, etc.): • Meals, lodging, and incidental expenses while locating a permanent residence at the new headquarters within the limits of CalHR Rules 599.721 and 599.722. Relocation per diem is allowed up to a maximum of 60 days and shall terminate immediately upon establishment of a permanent residence. o The BU contract should always be referenced to obtain per diem and other expense allowances at the time the transfer is to be made. • Although some expenses do not require receipts in order to receive reimbursement, the employee should retain sufficient documentation as proof that the amounts claimed do not exceed actual expenses in the event they are audited by the Internal Revenue Service. • Movement of household goods are allowed within the limitations of CalHR Rules 599.718 and 599.719. • Expenses incurred for dissolution of the household and/or establishment of the new household are allowed in accordance with CalHR Rule 599.715. • Expenses incurred for the actual and necessary cost to sell a residence will be reimbursed as determined by prevailing practices within the area of the sale and within the limitations of CalHR Rule 599.716. • The settlement of an unexpired lease agreement up to the maximum of one year will be reimbursed within the limitations of CalHR Rule 599.717. When involuntary transfer is utilized in lieu of employee layoff and/or due to budget reductions, the Department may negotiate a lesser relocation package than the procedures listed above. The above procedures and rules are governed by CalHR, SAM, and the employee’s BU contract; however, the Department has the discretion to modify or eliminate certain portions of the relocation expense reimbursement with the agreement of CalHR and the appropriate BU. An example of a modified package may include 30 days of per diem expense, 30 days of storage, movement of household goods, and the elimination of the sale of residence reimbursement. Upon receipt of a Std. Form 262, Travel Expense Claim, the SAO will process the claim within 30 days. Employee The employee may waive the 30-day or 60-day notice and choose to report to the new headquarters at an earlier date; however, no employee shall be coerced or forced to waive his/her right to such notice. Employees shall be assured that they will not be subject to reprisal, if they do not waive this right. An employee has the right to file an appeal with CalHR, if he/she believes the involuntary transfer is being made for the purpose of harassment or discipline. An employee faced with involuntary transfer cannot elect to voluntarily demote and displace a lower senior employee in order to remain at the “old headquarters.” An employee who refuses an involuntary transfer may seek a permissive transfer to another agency; seek a permissive transfer to a vacant position in the Department; resign in lieu of the transfer; or retire, if eligible. If the employee fails to report to the new headquarters as instructed, he/she may be separated (Absent Without Leave {AWOL}) five working days after the effective date of the involuntary transfer (in accordance with the California Supreme Court decision Coleman vs. DPA and General Services), or be subject to other types of adverse action. For BU 6 employees, the MOU recognizes additional procedural steps when processing an AWOL separation. Therefore, the Department may elect to use the Adverse Personnel Action procedures to process an AWOL separation for BU 6 employees. When making a determination as to which process to use, program staff should consult with OLR and OWP for guidance. 33010.23

53130.6 Privileges Revised December 14, 2012 Privileges for each work/training incentive group shall be those privileges earned by the inmate. Inmate privileges are administratively authorized activities and benefits required of the Secretary of the CDCR, by statute, case law, governmental regulations, or executive orders. Inmate privileges shall be governed by an inmate ’ s behavior, custody classification and assignment. A formal request or application for privileges is not required unless specified otherwise in this section. Institutions may provide additional incentives for each privilege group, subject to availability of resources and constraints imposed by security needs. Privileges shall be governed by the following conditions: • To qualify for privileges generally granted by this Section, an inmate shall comply with rules and procedures and participate in assigned work/training activities. • Privileges available to a work/training incentive group may be denied, modified, or temporarily suspended by a hearing official at a disciplinary hearing upon a finding of an inmate ’ s guilt for a disciplinary offense as described in CCR §§ 3314 and 3315 or by classification committee action which changes the inmate ’ s custody classification, work/training group, privilege group, or institution placement. • Disciplinary action denying, modifying, or suspending a privilege for which an inmate would otherwise be eligible shall be for a specified period not to exceed 30 days for an administrative rule violation or 90 days for a serious rule violation. • A permanent change of an inmate ’ s privilege group shall only be made by a classification committee action under provisions of CCR § 3375. Disciplinary or classification committee action changing an inmate ’ s privileges or privilege group shall not automatically affect the inmate ’ s work/training group classification. Worktime credit earning shall be affected only by a work/training group change by a classification committee. • No inmate or group of inmates shall be granted privileges not equally available to other inmates of the same custody classification and assignment who would otherwise be eligible for the same privileges. Privileges During Lockup Changes in privilege group status due to the inmate ’ s placement in lockup: • An inmate housed in ASU, SHU, or PSU shall be designated privilege group D. However, if assigned to a qualifying work/training program within the special housing unit, the inmate shall be assigned privileges of a higher group, if such privileges are available within the assigned housing unit. • An inmate working in lockup units while serving a determinate SHU term shall be retained in privilege group D only, irrespective of their work/training assignment. Re-Entry An inmate in a re-entry furlough assignment shall be eligible for available privileges subject to working eight hours per day and shall not require a privilege group designation. A re-entry inmate placed in a county facility shall be entitled to the same privileges afforded to county prisoners and provided for under terms of the Department ’ s contract with the county facility. All privileges shall be conditioned upon the inmate ’ s compliance with the procedures governing those privileges, continued eligibility in the privilege group, good conduct and acceptable participation in their work/training assignment. Inmates returned to custody from parole may be eligible to receive privileges based on their participation in a work/training assignment. 53130.6.1

47130.4 System Overview of DDPS DDPS is a system comprised of one or more minicomputers operating in each facility and connected to minicomputers in headquarters by a wide area communications network. Four major applications reside currently on the DDPS. In addition to the requirements of this section, use of each application shall meet general operating specifications regarding policy, purpose, responsibility, QA, and QC. The four DDPS applications are: Inmate Roster System The Inmate Roster System is the basis for DDPS and is, therefore, critical for the maintenance of all other DDPS applications. The roster is designed for use by control room staff and provides an automated means for tracking inmate location. This application allows any authorized user to request reports or make inquiries regarding any inmate or housing unit in the facility. Inmate Roster Record An Inmate Roster Record is created the first time an inmate is admitted. At that time, control room staff enter the inmate ’ s full name, date of birth, ethnicity, arrival date, and location from which the inmate arrived. Once the inmate is admitted, the user must enter only the inmate ’ s CDC number and the first five characters of the last name to enter a movement transaction. Reports on inmate movement may be generated within this application. The Automated Daily Movement Sheet is designed to assist control room staff in their use of the CDC Form 117, Daily Movement Sheet. In addition to the inmate roster, this application maintains a roster of the housing structure and beds at each facility. Control room staff may use this information to readily identify vacant beds, the identity of the inmate in each bed, and beds that are being held for inmates on temporary leave from the facility (e.g., out to court for the day, in a local hospital). Bed vacancy and empty bed reports may be produced in this application to assist control room staff with the running count process. Although the inmate roster was designed to serve the needs of control room staff, it has proven to be highly beneficial to other functional areas of the facility. Mailrooms have replaced their card systems with query terminals, and many visitor control areas use either terminals or housing reports to locate inmates within the facility. The inmate assignment office uses the information to make appropriate job assignments. Facility staff can request the preparation of special reports by their AISA using “ INFORM ” or by ISD using ad hoc reporting capabilities. Responsibility The Control Room Sergeant is responsible for data integrity and security of this application. Time Collection System The Time Collection System automates the data entry portion of updating the OBIS work time credit database. The CDC Form 191, Inmate Timecard, is scanned using a Sentry 4000 Optical Scanner. The scanned timecard information is sent to a file on the DDPS at each facility; the file is transferred nightly to Teale Data Center; data is validated; and the OBIS database is updated. Responsibility The CCRM is responsible for data integrity and security. Inmate Classification System The Inmate Classification System tracks the results of inmate classification hearings and contains certain descriptors critical to other functional areas of the facility. The privilege group determines an inmate's eligibility for canteen draw, visiting, and other inmate activities. Additionally, the inmate classification system tracks hearing dates and provides a “ tickler ” to notify counselors of upcoming hearing responsibilities. Inmate Classification System information is entered after the initial inmate record is created. It is imperative to enter data during or immediately following hearings so that staff have up-to-the-minute information about a inmate's custody level and classification score, thus assisting subsequent program decisions. Responsibility The CC-II/III is responsible for data integrity and security. Inmate Assignment System The Inmate Assignment Application tracks inmate job assignments and inmate job waiting lists. It contains descriptive information about each job, including pay grade, dictionary of occupational titles code, Inmate Work Training Incentive Program code, assignment beginning date, job status, work location, site phone number, work schedule including regular days off, the name of the inmate holding the job if assigned, and any restrictions or special job requirements. When assigning an inmate to a job or a waiting list, this application uses the Inmate Roster Record (including classification information) to draw custody level and suffix, work group, ethnicity, administrative determinants, work qualifiers, and housing data. Information entered by the assignment lieutenant updates the inmate roster clearance regarding food handling, gate clearance, and other clearances. The Inmate Assignment System maintains a inmate's current work and waiting list status. Job history records provide information (including dates) about all previous jobs held by an inmate in that facility. Location records provide ethnicity counts to assist in maintaining an ethnic balance. Transportation records contain assignment information used for the daily movement sheet. Responsibility The Inmate Assignment Lieutenant is responsible for data integrity and security. Inmate Trust Accounting System PC 2085 and 5057 require that the Department establish, as necessary, an accounting and auditing system to accurately account for all inmate money and property. The Inmate Trust Accounting System is designed to: • Replace outdated bookkeeping machines. • Automate the bookkeeping functions in the facility ’ s trust office. • Account for all inmate monies held in trust by the Department. Each facility uses the inmate trust account system to perform trust accounting functions. This application uses information provided by the Inmate Roster System to identify inmates who have just arrived, transferred out, transferred in, or have been paroled or discharged. For each new arrival, the Inmate Trust Accounting System establishes a trust account in which monies shall be held and deposits and withdrawals posted. An inmate ’ s record is updated when the inmate leaves the facility to reflect the new location so that account information and funds can be transferred. The Inmate Trust Accounting System produces monthly statements of account, a general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, a daily balance sheet, audit reports, and preprinted canteen cards. Responsibility The Trust Officer is responsible for data integrity and security. 47130.5

54080.14 Institution Religious Diet Program Each institution shall make reasonable efforts, as required by law, to accommodate those inmates who have been determined to require a religious diet. • Within the institution, religious meals shall not be restricted from inmates based on their classification or housing placement. • If a medical diet is ordered for an inmate, it shall take precedence over the religious diet. • Inmates who are transferred shall continue to have the ability to participate in their current religious diet program at the receiving institution, barring medical needs or other extraordinary circumstances. The inmate Central File (C-File) shall contain verification of religious diet participation (CDCR Form 3030, “Religious Diet Request,” and CDCR Form 3030- A “Religious Diet Program Agreement”). • The current Religious Diet Card shall be transferred with the inmate’s property and be provided to the inmate upon the inmate’s arrival. During the initial processing at the receiving institution, staff shall identify the inmate as a participant in a Religious Diet Program and notify the CFM and appropriate Chaplain or designee of the inmate’s arrival. The Chaplain or designee at the receiving institution shall oversee the inmate for continuing eligibility and any compliance violations. • Each institution shall provide ongoing religious awareness training for custody and food service staff, and others as appropriate. This may be provided in regularly scheduled In-Service Training, Equal Employment Opportunity training, or on-the-job training. • No staff may disparage an inmate’s religion or religious views, or attempt to dissuade an inmate from participating in the Religious Diet Program. • Early call may be used, and is encouraged, for serving religious diets. • The Religious Diet Program will consist of three distinct options: • A vegetarian diet program. • A Jewish kosher diet program. • A religious meat alternate program Vegetarian Diet Program Vegetarian meals shall be available at all CDCR institutions statewide. Institution vegetarian meals shall be lacto-ovo vegetarian (includes dairy products and eggs), and may contain fish when it appears on the menu. Inmates with determined religious, personal, or ethical dietary needs and showing a Religious Diet Card shall be provided with an approved vegetarian protein alternate, often from that same days’ scheduled meal. Inmates may participate in the program, by submitting to any appropriate Chaplain a CDCR Form 3030 Religious Diet Request. Jewish Kosher Diet Program A Jewish Kosher Diet Program (JKDP) shall be established at designated CDCR institutions statewide, for Jewish inmates desiring to practice Jewish kosher law. • Each designated institution with a JKDP shall endeavor to have a Jewish Chaplain or Rabbi employed at all times. In the absence of an employed Jewish Chaplain, the institution shall either make arrangements to utilize the services of a CDCR Jewish Chaplain from a neighboring institution, or consult with the Boards of Rabbis of Northern or Southern California to administer the JKDP. • Institutions that have an operational JKDP but have a vacant Jewish Chaplain position shall fill the position as soon as possible, but shall continue to operate the JKDP. However, no inmates will be added to the JKDP in those institutions unless they meet either criteria below: • The inmate has already been approved by a Jewish Chaplain to participate in the JKDP at another institution; or • A CDCR Jewish Chaplain from a neighboring institution, or a consultant from the Boards of Rabbis of Northern or Southern California approves the inmate. • Only Jewish inmates, as determined by a Jewish Chaplain, may participate in the JKDP. • If a Jewish inmate is housed at an institution that does not have a JKDP, he/she may, upon request, be considered for transfer to another institution that meets their kosher need and classification. • The JKDP is offered solely in designated institutions. Therefore, prior to referral to a classification committee, the assigned counselor at the sending institution shall contact the receiving institution’s CFM to ensure that the receiving institution has an operational JKDP. Classification committees shall ensure that, barring medical needs or other extraordinary circumstances, the inmates currently participating in the JKDP are transferred only to those institutions that currently have an operational JKDP. If an exception is made by classification committee and the recommendation for transfer is not to an institution with a JKDP, reasons for the exception will be fully documented in the CDC Form 128-G, Classification Chrono. • Only a Jewish Chaplain, Rabbi, representative(s) of the Boards of Rabbis of Northern or Southern California, or their designee shall have the authority to administer, oversee, and approve participation in and removal from the JKDP. • Each designated institution shall arrange for appropriate training for all inmate workers, and custody and food service employees involved in the supervising, ordering, preparation, and serving of Jewish kosher meals. • The observance of Passover constitutes a single religious event requiring kosher Passover foods be provided during the eight days of observance. • All designated institutions shall adhere to the CDCR standardized Jewish kosher menus and approved procedures for purchasing, preparing, and serving Jewish kosher meals. • The JKDP shall otherwise be administered in accordance with the provisions of this Article. Oversight Responsibilities A Jewish Chaplain, Rabbi, representative(s) of the Boards of Rabbis of Northern or Southern California, or their designee shall oversee the JKDP in order to assure the program is following CDCR policy and procedures and kosher laws. Oversight responsibilities include: • Reviewing each institution’s JKDP annually for compliance with kosher law and CDCR policy. Results of the review shall be provided to the CFM. Observance of Jewish Fasting Days Inmates participating in the JKDP shall have the option to fast on a recognized Jewish fasting day, for the period required by that day. The Jewish Chaplain will provide food services with a list of those participating at least three days ahead of the intended fast. A Jewish Kosher inmate who chooses to fast will not be provided any regular meals for the recognized fasting day. The fasting inmate will instead be provided with an approved sack meal, to be eaten at the end of the fasting period. The sack meal will be equivalent to two (2) kosher sack lunches. Under no circumstances can the inmate give away, trade, or sell a sack meal. Doing so may result in a compliance violation of the Religious Diet Program Agreement. The following are recognized Jewish fasting days: Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) – A 25-hour fast, from sunset to the following sunset. Observed in early fall on the 10 th day of the Jewish month of Tishrei. Fast of Tisha B’Av – A 25-hour fast, from sunset to the following sunset.

61020.20.9 Correcting a Previously Submitted Score Sheet Rules for making corrections to a score sheet with a form Revision Date prior to Rev. 07/02. Any score errors that are detected after the canary copy of the score sheet has been submitted to OISB require the following correction process. These rules apply only to a score sheet with a form revision date prior to Rev. 07/02: Correct the Central File • Annotate the original score sheet in the C-File. Line through the item or items to be changed and write the new information beside the appropriate box or boxes. Initial and date those notations. This provides central file documentation of the original and new values and changes on the score sheet. • Continue to carry forward the correct score on any subsequent score sheets in the central file to show the correct score. Ensure that the correct score is carried forward when a new score sheet is needed. Prepare a “Correction” score sheet: When the score sheet to be corrected in the central file has a form revision date prior to Rev. 07/02, reference to the classification score is equivalent to the Preliminary Score. Follow these steps to correct the database: • Begin with a blank score sheet. The blank score sheet must be the same type of score sheet as the one being corrected. For example, when a CDC Form 839 needs to be corrected, the “ Correction ” score sheet shall also be a CDC Form 839. • Complete the Identifying Information section of this blank score sheet by entering the inmate ’ s CDC Number and Inmate ’ s Last Name. • Enter the same date that appears on the original score sheet being corrected. For the CDC Form 839 it is the Date Received CDC. For the CDC Form 840 it is the Date of Current Review. (exception: Neither the CDC Number nor the Date of Current Review can be corrected. See DOM § 61020.20.10 and contact OISB to correct these fields.) • Enter an “ X ” in the Box Item 5b, Form Identification, at the top of the score sheet. • Enter the date that the score sheet is being corrected in the “Date Corrected” boxes directly to the right. • For changes to score values in boxes in the Background Factors section, Prior Incarceration Behavior section, Favorable Behavior section, and Unfavorable Behavior section, enter the Total Correction for that score sheet, either negative or positive, in the Correction area of the CDC Form 839 or CDC Form 840 score sheet. On the CDC Form 839, it is Item C1. On the CDC Form 840 it is Item E1. • Enter the correct Total Classification Score in the Preliminary Score boxes when preparing a correction document for a CDC Form 839. • Enter the correct Prior Classification Score in the Prior Preliminary Score box and enter the Current Classification Score in the New Preliminary Score box when preparing a correction document for a CDC Form 840. (Note: On score sheets revised prior to 07/02, the Prior Preliminary Score is identified as the Prior Classification Score and the New Preliminary Score is identified as the Current Classification Score). • Leave the Mandatory Minimum Score and Placement Score boxes blank. • The name of the Current Institution and Facility may be entered. • The Counselor ’ s Name may be entered.
