NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

This rule is authorized by Sections 63G-3-201 and 64-13-10 of the Utah Code. The purpose of this rule is to provide the policy, procedures, and requirements for the use of and access to inmate communication systems in the Department's prison facilities.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No comments were received since the last five-year review.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

Telephone communication of inmates with friends/family, etc. can be a positive factor during the inmates incarceration. With that said the department must have rules and regulations which monitor the use of inmate calls except for legal phone calls. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
