IF THE INMATE IS NOT RELEASED FROM SUCH CONFINEMENT UPON THE INITIAL REVIEW, HER PLACE- MENT IN SUCH CONFINEMENT SHALL BE REVIEWED WEEKLY THEREAFTER.

SUCH INMATE'S ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE, MENTAL HEALTH CARE AND NUTRITIOUS DIET SHALL NOT BE RESTRICTED FOR DISCIPLINARY REASONS, NOR SHALL ANY INMATE BE DENIED POST-PARTUM HEALTH CARE BECAUSE SHE IS IN SEGREGATED CONFINEMENT OR OTHER RESTRICTED CONFINEMENT.
