The regulation states walk-in visits are not permitted 'under any circumstances,' leaving no exception for emergencies.

A passage states: 'Correctional officers must document all inmate disciplinary infractions in the facility log within one hour of the incident. Failure to document within this timeframe must be explained in a supplemental report.' An officer documents an infraction two hours later with no supplemental report. What requirement was not met?

Because the documentation was late, a supplemental report explaining the delay was required, which the officer failed to file.
