§ 12-29-103. Discipline.
The Director of the Division of Correction or the Director of the Division of Community Correction shall prescribe, with the approval of the Board of Corrections, rules for the maintenance of good order and discipline in the facilities and institutions of the Division of Correction and the Division of Community Correction, respectively, including proceedings for dealing with violations. These rules shall require that inmates found guilty of damaging or destroying state property shall be ordered to pay restitution.

The levy against the inmate's institutional account shall continue until the estimated damage to state property has been fully paid or until the inmate is released from incarceration, whichever occurs first. In case of riot or other violent conduct or behavior on the part of any inmate or group of inmates, the Director of the Division of Correction may take such steps as are necessary, including the use of force and arms as necessary, to restore discipline and order. The Director of the Division of Correction may seek the assistance of the Division of Arkansas State Police, the National Guard, and local and federal law enforcement agencies in preserving order whenever the circumstances justify. The Director of the Division of Correction shall provide for a record of charges of infractions by inmates, including any punishment imposed, and shall also keep a record of all medical inspections made.
