After investigation, the warden may determine that the inmate did not commit the rule infraction and revise the record accordingly. The warden may also modify the imposed disciplinary sanction or rule infraction. The record shall be used whenever the question of any inmate's eligibility for parole or discharge arises pursuant to § 24-5-1.
