up was so even in the first
game that the “God of Rain”
created such a havoc that with

Jnmate Grievance System:

0095 It Work?

'By LARRY LENSTON, KSR

If you are like me you!
wonder about programs offer

ed (not court ordered) by the ‘

Bureau of Corrections. pro-
grams which are designed to
allow you—the inmate— to
challenge certain rules, regu-
lations and actions that you

feel are'unjust actions; that*- ‘
.were taken by that same
' Bureau of Corrections.

The Grievance Procedure is
one of those programs I won-
dered about.

Recently, I had the opport-
unity to see how the Grievance

' System worked. As we should

know by now, the-Grievance is

a way to’ challenge anything
.inside the institution except

adjustment committee find-

.I ings parole board rulings and
’--outside -c'our-t matters. All

other things can be run-
through the Grievance Sys-

My grievance was fairly

’ '._x..:.,.'simple (or so I thought).
, disagreed with amorder by the . .
Superintendent tell1ng all re

sidents fWho;a f1oWned genius.-

. racketsthat they (must send.

these items home. Score: one
point for the Grievance Sys-
tem there was no way that I

could phallenge a Superinten- ‘ 1’
vdent’ s order(short of outside

court) without appealing it

' directly to that Superintendant -

or the Commissioner, who

"=’«would usually support his
1 Stiperintendant in a matter
_ like this. Under the grievance
.' syStem. I got 'with‘ the Griev-
‘ ance counselor for my Dorm-

atory. (another inmate)

Michael White. He helped me

which entitled me to a hearing

before the Inmate- Grievance» ‘

Committee within .10. wOrking

{days of the filing of the

Grievance

The « Inmate Grievance

cOmmittee is made up- of five '

'_people: tWo resdients, two
staff members, and a staff

«member who presides as chai-
» rman. In this case my comm-

ittee was made up of residents
Henry Burks and Chris Brady;
staff members were John Uhl
caseworker COII B. Scar-1

brough an officer in Dorma--'
tory_8;,and1Steve Berry, who-
’ acted. as chair-man. The jobof '
' I" this committee was to hear my
;' grievance decide if it had
a" merit and then make recom—'

m‘endations to the proper per~1
son (in this case the warden)

ab1out,, how to solve this griev-
' "‘a'n-c'e-g1 S‘core one-half point11for

the grievance system.1 It has
resident participation on an

equal basis with the staff, .1
Onfy one- -half point though; . ’
because the comm1ttee 5 re-_“

'1

commendation hasno binding
power on anyone. In this case.
I agreed with their recom-
mendation to the Warden, to
allow residents to keep .their
tennis rackets. If I had not
agreed, I could have appealed‘
their decision.

Next, they forwarded their I

recommendation to the War-
den thru the Grievance Officer
for my unit-~Mr.—;Ton1 Korf—
hage. From- the: time the

grievance is received by the

Warden. he has ten (10)

.working days to respond in

writing to the grievance. The
Superintendent either accepts
the Inmate Grievance Com-
mittee’s recommendation or
overrules it.(Minus one half
point from the grievance sys-

1 tem). The warden makes his

  

in filing a grievance form. . 1‘»:

judgement based on the writ-
ten recommendation of the

committe, only heis not made
aware of the information the
committee used to make that
recommendation. It'was his

order in the first place and it

is hard 1 to believe that111he

  

rejected :the committee 5 re-:' ' 5'

:which was my right to the

Commissioner.
The Commissionbr’s i‘eview

has? all ' '_the faults {of ‘the’
* Warden's review. He does not

haVe access to the full story.
Generally. he is given the
reasons why not (in this case)
and not the ways to satisfy

'.both parties differences. Min-
us one-half point. In this case '

the Commissioner went along
with the Warden and denied

‘ the grievance I ha‘”d one last

I had three daysfifrom the

time 'I received the Commis- ‘

sioner's review to appeal the
decision to} the Onbudsman,

to hear my case. This Outside
Review board 15 made up of 3

select. one staff member. who
* the Warden selects. and one
- outside lawyer, picked'from a

'pool’of lawyers who have

. agreed to work with the griev-’

ance system. I. don't know if 1
the Bureau pays them. but.
give the Outside Review Board
one (l).point. It is not every
day that! the Bureau of Correc-

‘tions will let an outside civi1lian

. pass judgment on'its rulesIOn

- top ofthat.~the Board makeup ~
was fair—Mr.

Thomas A.
resident. Mr. Tom
associate warden
for treatment. and Ms. Sara.

Scott, J...

‘Wyler the outSide lawyer.

I_ was impressed with this
stage of the grievance system.

i’ .4] was able to 11call1 the witnesses

 

to help present my case and
was given an opportunity to
question those people sent by

the Warden to present his

side. It was kept nice and
simple and informal.

After the Board was given
all the facts from both sides.
they closed the hearing and
talked about the case. Then

~they made their recommenda-

tion to the Commissioner has-
ed on their], findings. In this
case, they recommended that
residents be allowed to keep
their tennis rackets.

These recommendations are
sent to the Commissioner. who
may follow them or reject
them. Minus one(l)_ point for
the Grievance System. In my
opinion. the recOmmendation‘s
by the Outside Review Board
should be binding on the
Commissioner. 1 1

From looking at the Griev-I
ance system I' cOuld give it

only one-half point in its favor.
.That one-half point means .
nothing really. The Grievance"
System can be a. good thing for 5'

’va-

drawback is that it carries no
force of law. that is. the

Commissioner 15 not bound to 1’
abidefby anyOne' s recommen- '

dations. Its one good point is

the relief it-may offer to the:
'residents. It allows residents

to express their fellings about

something that they feel is,

wrong. and maybe'have that
ruling revised. In a way. it can
give them a voice in institution
policy.

There is no doubt that the
Grievance System serVes the
interest of the Bureau of
Corrections. First. it can serve
to lessen tensions inside the
institution. by giving the res-
idents an avenue to express
their displeasure at some ins-
titutional decisions. Secondly.
it may stop some of ‘the
lawsuits that get filed against

'theBureau. Third, it is good

public relations, both inside
and out. To the public, the

’ Bureau can say we provided

the residents in our custody an
opportunity to challenge the
way we run our institutions,
they have a voice. Public
image is important to the
Bureau of Corrections. To
make the GrievanceSystem
serve us. residents in the
Bureau of Corrections. we
must: use it. ‘For what it is-

‘ worth. it is still'another tool.‘ to '

have an input into what affects
~your life.

Note: As of this writing. I

. don tknow what the Commiss-

ioners decision will be.
