The Inmate Grievance Office reviews all grievances filed by state prisoners who have complaints
against prison officials and correctional officers or regarding prison policies and conditions of
confinement. Inmates with grievances against prison officials (not against other inmates) should
write to the address above. Inmates must first exhaust all appropriate administrative services
offered at their prisons. Those grievances that are not administratively dismissed for procedural
or substantive reasons are scheduled for hearings to be conducted by Administrative Law Judges.
The hearings are held in correctional institutions throughout the state. Some hearings are
conducted by videoconferencing. The presiding judges issue their decisions in writing. If a judge
concludes that a grievance has merit and recommends specific remedies, the written decision is
forwarded to the Secretary of the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services for
review and final action.
