What characterizes a minor rule infraction?

A minor rule infraction is characterized by being a violation that does not necessitate a disciplinary report. This means that it is often seen as a less severe issue that can be addressed through informal means or corrective action rather than through formal disciplinary processes. For instance, minor rule infractions might include behaviors such as being late for a scheduled activity or not following a minor procedural guideline within the facility.

In contrast, more severe infractions, such as a serious breach of conduct or actions that could lead to confinement, typically require immediate disciplinary action or a formal hearing and the completion of a disciplinary report to document the incident and the response. Understanding the distinction between minor and major infractions helps in applying appropriate responses and maintaining order within the facility.
