NDSP: Housing Units

Administrative Segregation

Administrative segregation (A.S.) is a sixty bed unit which functions as a form of separation from the general population, administered by the Administrative Segregation Committee, when the continued presence of the inmate would pose a threat to life, property, himself or others, or to the security or orderly running of the institution. The unit houses the most violent and disruptive offenders within the inmate population. A.S. is not designed as a punishment unit for its residents, although disciplinary time may be served in the A.S. unit.

All A.S. inmates will be afforded general privileges consistent with existing resources available and the security needs of the unit. Administrative Segregation affords the inmate time to reflect on past inappropriate actions/behaviors, which resulted in the placement and make corrective advancements. They are also given access to programs and services which enable them to reintegrate into a lower security housing unit.

Programs/Services

The A.S. unit provides the opportunity to work and participate in treatment and education programs, such as GED, tutoring, Intensive Anger Management, and the cognitive program. They are also afforded access to phones, laundry, library/law library, food, communication, and Medical services.
