The use of chemical agents in a correctional facility shall be controlled and reasonably applied only when necessary to protect the safety, security and good order of the facility. Chemical agents used appropriately by trained facility staff under certain conditions have proven to be an effective method in preventing the loss of authority without resorting to physical contact or deadly physical force.
