Chimenti v. Department of Corrections

In Chimenti v. Department of Corrections, 720 A.2d 205 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1998), in determining whether DC-ADM 818 was subject to the CDL, the Court concluded that the Corrections policy, which had a stated purpose of promulgating rules, regulations, and procedures governing inmate telephone privileges and electronic surveillance of inmate telephone calls, is not a regulation and did not establish a binding norm, but rather is a statement of policy that sets forth the Department of Corrections' interpretation of the wiretapping law and notifies inmates about access to the system, procedure for obtaining telephone privileges, and restrictions on its use.
