(a) Contrary to or inconsistent with law or Department of Corrections practice;
(b) Based on mistaken facts or irrelevant considerations;
(c) Inadequately explained when reasons should have been revealed;
(d) Inefficiently performed; or
(e) Unreasonable, unfair, or otherwise objectionable, even though in accordance with law.
(2) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, the Corrections Ombudsman may decide not to investigate because:

(b) The complaint is trivial, frivolous, vexatious or not made in good faith; or
(c) The complaint has been too long delayed to justify present examination. [1977 c.378 §6; 1987 c.320 §217]
