Employees may consider a custody increase if verifiable information is available to justify such
action. A memorandum approving this action, signed by the Warden, will be maintained in the

relevant information will be forwarded to the Regional Office for consideration. The Regional
Director will maintain a written record, including reasons for approval or denial.
