Section 22.05.445. Examination of witnesses in disciplinary hearings.

The hearing officer or members of a disciplinary committee, as applicable, and the prisoner's advocate may direct questions to the accused prisoner and other witnesses. The accused prisoner may question any witness, but must direct questions through the hearing officer or chairperson, as applicable. The hearing officer or chairperson, as applicable, may, for compelling reasons, limit the prisoner's right to examine witnesses to avoid repetitious or irrelevant evidence or to preserve decorum, if those reasons are stated orally for the record. If the prisoner is found to have committed an infraction, the hearing officer or chairperson, as applicable, shall file a report, to be attached to the completed committee report, listing the reasons why the prisoner was prevented from examining a witness.
