The Superintendent or a designee may assign such institutional personnel as deemed appropriate to volunteers and volunteer programs. (2) Applicable laws, rules, and regulations governing persons employed by or visiting a state correctional institution shall be applicable to all volunteers. In an emergency, or where there is an alleged violation of a rule or regulation of the correctional institution or of a criminal statute, an officer may, with the approval of the Shift Commander or OIC, order that a volunteer temporarily leave the correctional institution. In such cases, the Institutional Volunteer Services Coordinator or a designee shall notify the volunteer, or the coordinator of the volunteer program, as soon as possible regarding the status of said volunteer or volunteer program. The Institutional Volunteer Services Coordinator shall also submit a written recommendation to the Superintendent regarding the continued presence of the volunteer or volunteer program in the correctional institution as soon as possible. Where the Superintendent or a designee, after reviewing the recommendation of the Institutional Volunteer Services Coordinator, rescinds the approval of the volunteer or volunteer program, 103 CMR 485.08 shall be fully applicable.
