Ucadian Prison Code
  
     
  The Ucadian Prison Code is the most comprehensive set of laws and operational procedures for correctional management ever devised.
 
  Not only does the Ucadian Prison Code address the traditional areas of prison management dealing with population housing, prisoners rights, the function and duties of correctional personnel, but the Code addresses some of the long overdue areas of prison reform.
 
  After exhaustive investigation on the various success and failure of prison and reform programs including the adoption of "super-max" prisons by some governments around the world and the use of out-of-prison programs, the Ucadian Prison Code legal framework identifies an optimum program for prisoners convicted of different types of crimes to ensure minimal repeat offence due to flaws in the system of prison management.  
22.37.1 Structure of the Civil Code
 
  The Prison Code is structured into chapters, which in turn are divided into articles and then one or more clauses within each article.
 
  The major chapters of the Civil Code are:
 
  1. Introductory provisions
2. Code of conduct
3. Prisons and social objectives
4. Correctional Officer responsibility
5. Justice and Punishment
6. Level 1 Correctional Facilities
7. Level 2 Correctional Facilities
8. Level 3 Correctional Facilities
9. Level 4 Correctional Facilities
 
  While an article may belong to a particular chapter, the numbering of all articles is consecutive so that the entire body of articles of the Prison Code may be read as one, with or without the chapter headings.  
22.37.3 The primary objectives of the Prison code  
  The primary objectives of the Prison Code are as follows:  
  1. To provide a single supreme document codifying all correctional management rules and procedures relating to all prisons and detention programs;  
  2. To present a clear set of judicial standards and code of conduct for all correctional staff, management, visitors, prisoners and contractors/consultants;  
  3. To define the complete operation of all types of correctional facilities, including function, bodies, procedures and systems;  
  4. To outline the limits of key action and behaviour undertaken within the all correctional facilities including discovery and investigation, evidence, the jury, warrants, restraint, force and allocation/revokation of privileges;  
  5. To clearly place in context the position of the Prison Code versus criminal law, civil law and other unifying codes;  
  6. To protect the rights and privileges of prisoners by ensuring the fair operation of the prison system and all those that perform a function within the scope of the articles defined within the Prison code.
