C.R.S. Section 17-1-109
Duties and functions of the warden

(1)

The warden of each correctional facility shall exercise the powers and perform the duties and functions assigned to the warden by this article under the supervision and control of the executive director or the executive director’s designee.

(2)

Intentionally left blank —Ed.

(a)

The warden of each correctional facility should, wherever possible, take such measures as are reasonably necessary to restrict the confinement of any person who actively participates in disruptive security-threat group behavior, as defined in paragraph (b) of this subsection (2), so as to prevent contact with other inmates at such facility. The warden should, wherever possible, also take such measures as are reasonably necessary to prevent recruitment of new security-threat group members from among the general inmate population. Association with an inmate gang or security-threat group alone shall not be sufficient to meet the requirements of this paragraph (a).

(b)

For the purposes of this subsection (2), unless the context otherwise requires, “security-threat group” means a group of three or more individuals acting in concert or individually in an activity that is characterized by criminal conduct or conduct that violates the department’s code of penal discipline for the purpose of disrupting prison operations, recruiting new members, damaging property, or inflicting or threatening to inflict harm to employees, contract workers, volunteers, or other state inmates.
