The
fundamental reason that this position exists is to process the paperwork
related to inmate grievances and discipline.
The clerks’ major work responsibilities include gathering information/
evidence, processing information as it relates to rule violation, use bipartisan
determinations of the facts, and issue the final ruling as it relates to loss
privileges. Also, the incumbent selected for this position will also perform
general clerical duties. The incumbents in this classification usually focus on
either grievances or disciplinary; however, the incumbents are trained to work
in both areas as back-up and support. The Inmate Grievance/Disciplinary Clerk
classification differs from other clerical classifications in that the position
requires the clerk to interview detainees and make decisions based on the information
collected investigation of incidents.
Although the clerk is required to gather and process the information and
make determinations, the clerks’ supervisor reviews all findings prior to their
release of detainee documentation. Work
is performed under the supervision of a Corrections Officer.
High School diploma or GED and one (1) year
experience conducting interviews and making determinations based on the
interpretation of laws and policies and the evidence and information
collected. Three (3) college level courses
in Criminal Justice or Correctional Law may be substituted for the required experience.
NOTE: Qualifying education, training and experience that provide the requisite knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform the job will be considered.
