How are minor infractions typically processed in correctional facilities?

Minor infractions in correctional facilities are typically processed through minor hearings. This process is designed to address less serious violations of facility rules or regulations in a way that is efficient and appropriate for the nature of the infraction. Minor hearings allow for a straightforward assessment of the situation, where evidence can be presented, and a determination can be made about the infraction and any resulting consequences.

This approach helps maintain order and discipline within the facility without subjecting minor infractions to the more formal and lengthy procedures associated with major hearings or formal legal processes. The emphasis in minor hearings is on resolving the issue quickly and fairly, ensuring that inmates understand the rules and the consequences of their actions while also allowing for a degree of due process.
