In determining an appropriate sanction, the hearing officer should consider the incarcerated individual's mental health and their intellectual, emotional, and maturity levels and what effect a particular sanction might have on the incarcerated individual in light of such factors. The hearing officer may request the assistance of other department staff members, including mental health staff members, in determining appropriate and/or alternate sanctions.
