Good morning,
Per your Public Records Request on April 9, 2015, I have attached several
policies from the Wyoming Department of Corrections which contain language
related to inmate segregation.
The first policy I've attached is 3.302, *Administrative Segregation*. The
other policies have sections related to inmates in ad seg or other special
housing units. There are a couple of other policies coming up for annual
review in the next couple months that I can send you if they are determined
to be releasable to the public.
Regards,
Mark

To whom it may concern,
As a follow up to your original request, I have attached two additional
policies - #4.310, *Health Care for Segregated Inmates *and #3.304*,
Protective Custody.* I believe these policies, along with the 14 we sent
on April 20, 2015, are the only policies allowed for release that pertain
to your request. All of our public policies can be found on our website's
policy page which is updated regularly.
