Derderian disciplined for violating work-release rules

Station nightclub co-owner Michael Derderian has been disciplined for violating rules while serving his four-year minimum-security prison term at the Adult Correctional Institutions, according to prison officials.

Derderian will be moved from minimum to medium security for 15 days -- punishment for three violations related to his work-release job at a Warwick autobody shop, ACI Director A.T. Wall said this evening.

Derderian had an unauthorized visit from someone who was not a family member, Wall said, declining to be more specific. Derderian also was given food at his work-release job in violation of prison rules. Inmates on work release are given lunches by the ACI and required to eat only those lunches.

And Derderian "was deceitful" with investigators when questioned about the incidents, according to Wall.

The violations were discussed in a Dec. 1 hearing. Derderian has chosen to appeal the sanctions, which include the temporary move out of minimum security, a temporary loss of privileges such as the telephone, visitors and store orders, and the loss of 25 days of good behavior time from his ultimate sentence.
