(a) An incoming publication that has previously been rejected by the department’s literature review committee due to inclusion of subject matter held to be inadmissible per the criteria established in subsection (2) shall not be reviewed again unless the publisher presents proof to the literature review committee that it has been revised and in the revision process the material resulting in the original rejection has been removed. When a rejected publication is received at an institution, it shall be impounded and shall not be issued to inmates. The warden or designee shall notify the inmate in writing within 15 calendar days of receipt that the publication has been rejected by the department’s literature review committee and cannot be received.

The 30 day limit shall not include any time that a grievance appeal is pending provided that the inmate has provided the warden with the written notice required in (7)(b) of this rule.

(b) The warden or designee shall advise the inmate in writing of the specific reasons for the impoundment within 15 calendar days of receipt of the publication at the institution and shall provide two copies of the impoundment notice to the inmate. The warden or designee of the institution that originated the impoundment shall also provide a copy of the notice to the publisher or sender. The actual date that the notice is mailed to the publisher or sender shall be documented by date stamp on the copies provided to the publisher or sender and the institution’s copy.

The publication shall then be forwarded to the warden or his or her designee for review. The Warden or warden’s designee shall review the publication within 15 days of impoundment. If the publication is found to be inadmissible, the warden or warden’s designee shall prepare an impoundment notice that advises the inmate of the specific reasons for the impoundment. The impoundment notice shall only address one publication; if more than one publication is determined to be inadmissible, separate impoundment notices shall be prepared for each. The inmate shall be provided with two copies of the impoundment notice.

(7) Inmates may appeal the rejection of reading material through use of the inmate grievance procedure, chapter 33-103, Florida Administrative Code. When publications are impounded or rejected pursuant to the criteria established in this rule, inmates shall bypass the informal and formal institutional level of review, and file grievances direct to the office of the secretary.

(a) If the inmate decides to appeal the impoundment or rejection to the office of the secretary, he or she shall file the appeal within 15 calendar days of the impoundment or rejection and must include a copy of the impoundment or rejection notice with the appeal. The inmate shall identify the grievance as being related to admissible reading material by writing the words "Admissible Reading Material" at the top of the grievance. Only one impounded or rejected publication shall be addressed in the appeal.

(b) If the inmate intends to appeal the impoundment or rejection decision and wishes to have the order to dispose of the publication within 30 days stayed while the appeal is proceeding, the inmate must provide written notice to the warden on form DC6-236, Inmate Request, that he or she intends to appeal the impoundment or rejection to the office of the secretary. The written notice must be filed within 15 calendar days of the impoundment or rejection, and shall include a statement that the inmate intends to appeal the impoundment or rejection of admissible reading material and must specifically identify the publications on which the appeal is to be based. Form DC6-236 is hereby incorporated by reference. Copies of this form are available from the Forms Control Administrator, Office of the General Counsel, 2601 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, Florida, 32399-2500. Requests for forms to be mailed must be accompanied by a self-addressed stamped envelope. The effective date of this form is March 21, 2000.

(c) If the inmate fails to file within 15 calendar days, fails to provide the impoundment or rejection notice as an attachment to his or her appeal, addresses more than one impounded or rejected publication or in any other way violates the grievance procedure as described in chapter 33-103, his or her appeal shall be returned without response to the issue raised.

(d) If the inmate’s appeal is denied, he or she shall have 30 days to make arrangements to have the publication picked up by an approved visitor, relative or friend, or pay to have the publication sent to one of these approved individuals or to the sender. If the publication is not picked up or mailed out within 30 days, the institution shall destroy it.
