(1) For indeterminate sentences, once the good conduct time denial is addressed or adopted by the ISRB, it cannot be returned to the offender without prior approval of the ISRB.
(2) At a regularly scheduled review, offenders may request restoration of good conduct time from the superintendent/CCS where the offender is housed.
(3) When the decision is made by the superintendent/CCS where the offender is housed, that decision is final and the offender may not request subsequent reviews for the same infractions.
(4) The unit team may recommend approval provided:
(a) The good conduct time has not been adopted by the ISRB, if the case requires an ISRB hearing for release;
(b) The offender has been free of serious infractions violations for at least one year from the date of the last serious infraction;
(c) The offender is not within six months of his/her ERD and the restoration will not put the offender less than one hundred twenty days to release;
