Attachment_04_Rules_for_Non-Employees_of_ADCRR_in_Arizona_State_Prisons_Form.pdf

This document is a rules and guidelines attachment from the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry (ADCRR) establishing protocols for non-employees operating within Arizona state prisons. The attachment outlines the regulatory framework governing the conduct, responsibilities, and operational parameters for external vendors, contractors, and service providers delivering programs or services within correctional facilities. The document, dated July 24, 2025, serves as a foundational compliance instrument for the Community Accountability Program Services for Community Corrections procurement opportunity, which closed on July 25, 2025. The rules establish mandatory procedures that all non-employee personnel must follow when accessing facilities, interacting with incarcerated populations, and implementing programmatic interventions.

The rules document provides essential compliance requirements that prospective vendors must understand and incorporate into their proposal submissions and operational plans. These guidelines establish security protocols, conduct standards, facility access procedures, and behavioral expectations designed to maintain institutional safety and security while enabling service delivery. Vendors responding to the community corrections contract must demonstrate their capacity to train personnel and ensure full adherence to ADCRR regulations. The document represents the operational framework within which successful contractors will execute community accountability programming, requiring comprehensive integration of these rules into staff training, policy development, and day-to-day program implementation. Bidders must account for compliance costs and demonstrate prior experience navigating similar correctional facility regulations when structuring their proposals and budgets.
