What must witnesses do in a Rules Violation Report hearing?

Witnesses in a Rules Violation Report hearing may indeed be excluded if their presence poses a danger to their safety. This provision acknowledges that the well-being of witnesses is paramount, particularly in a correctional environment where tensions and risks can be inherent. If a witness feels threatened or in danger due to their involvement in the hearing, it is within their rights to be excluded for safety reasons, ensuring the integrity of the legal process while also prioritizing individual safety.

The other options do not align with the established guidelines in such hearings. Witnesses are not automatically required to attend nor can they be compelled to testify if it endangers them. Additionally, while an inmate may request witnesses, it does not guarantee that all requested individuals will be called or that their attendance is obligatory. This highlights the importance of balancing the procedural needs of the hearing with the safety and rights of the participants involved.
