(1) After investigation of any action, the Corrections Ombudsman shall state the recommendations and reasons if, in the ombudsman’s opinion, the Department of Corrections or any employee thereof should:

(a) Consider the matter further;

(b) Modify or cancel any action;

(c) Alter a rule, practice or ruling;

(d) Explain more fully the administrative action in question;

(e) Rectify an omission; or

(f) Take any other action.

(2) If the Corrections Ombudsman so requests, the Department of Corrections shall, within the time specified, inform the ombudsman about the action taken on the recommendations or the reasons for not complying with them. After a reasonable period of time has elapsed, the Corrections Ombudsman may issue a report.
