Opinion by

On April 8, 1987, Kirk Lawson (Petitioner) petitioned for our review of a decision of Glen R. Jefifes, Acting Commissioner (Commissioner) of the Department of Corrections (Department) denying Petitioners grievance concerning his misconduct hearing. 1

On approximately December 22, 1986, Petitioner, who had been granted pre-release status, was transferred from a state correctional institution to a community service center in Philadelphia. On December 29, 1986, a urine sample was taken from Petitioner for routine drug screening, and on December 31, 1986, a lab report was obtained indicating a positive result for marijuana. On January 5, 1987, Petitioner was notified that a misconduct charge had been filed against him alleging that he had made unauthorized use of a controlled substance. Following a hearing conducted on January 8, 1987, Petitioner was found guilty of the misconduct charge and his pre-release status was revoked.

In his petition for review, Petitioner argues that his pre-release status was revoked without due process of law in that he was not permitted to confront or cross-examine anyone with respect to the lab report upon which the Department relied to find him guilty of the misconduct charge.

Petitioner subsequently filed a motion for summary relief, and the Department filed a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. In his answer to the Departments motion to dismiss, Petitioner asserted that the Departments final letter denying his grievance was an adjudication subject to our appellate review because it was a *576 final order of an agency and it affected a “personal right,” specifically his interest in pre-release status; 2 Petitioner argues in the alternative that if this Court determines that the Departments decision is not a final adjudication of ám administrative agency subject to our appellate review, then the petition for review should be construed as being within our original jurisdiction.

We turn now to Petitioners argument that the Departments final letter denying his grievance constitutes an adjudication subject to our appellate review. In Robson v. Biester, 53 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 587, 420 A.2d 9 (1980), we held that “[a] decision by an intraprison disciplinary tribunal is not a final adjudication by an administrative agency within this Courts appellate jurisdiction.” Id. at 591, 420 A.2d at 12.

We further refined our holding in Robson in Al Samad v. Bureau of Corrections, 93 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 146, 500 A.2d 1242 (1985), where an inmate (Williams) advanced an argument similar to that made here by Petitioner. In' Al Samad, Williams’ grievance that delays in the commencement of his visits caused his visitation periods to be less than one hour was rejected by the Bureau (now Department) of Corrections (Bureau) Commissioner. On appeal to this Court, the Bureau argued that the Commissioner’s decision was not an adjudication and was therefore not subject to our appellate review. We agreed but went on to explain that the reason the Bureau’s decision was not an adjudication was because it did not implicate any of Williams’ limited rights or privileges in that the Bureau regulations which *577 granted inmates the privilege of receiving visitors also placed specific limits on that privilege. 3

In Waters v. Department of Corrections, 97 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 283, 509 A.2d 430 (1986), we considered an inmates argument that he should be issued free writing implements and stationery to pursue his various lawsuits and be permitted to have certain articles in his cell. We determined the suit was not properly before us in our appellate jurisdiction because the inmate had not exhausted the administrative appeal procedure. However, we noted there our recent decision in Al Samad that the denial of an inmates grievance is not an adjudication but emphasized that in Al Samad, “we specifically held that the Bureaus decision did not implicate any of Al Samads limited visiting privileges granted under Bureau regulations.” Waters at 290 n.5, 509 A.2d at 434 n.5 (emphasis in original).

It appears then that if an inmate can identify a personal or property interest which is not limited by Department regulations and which is affected by a final decision of the Department, the Departments decision in those circumstances may constitute an adjudication subject to our appellate review.

Keeping this in mind, we turn now to the instant case to determine whether the Departments denial of Petitioners grievance implicates any of Petitioners personal or property rights which are not limited by Department regulations.

We note that we have held that participation in work-release and pre-release programs is a special privilege granted for satisfactory behavior in prison. Robson. However, as in Al Samad, that privilege is a limited *578 one. Department regulations specifically provide that an inmate found guilty of a misconduct charge may .be subject to suspension of privileges. See 37 Pa. Code §93.10(a)(2)(h). Further, 37 Pa. Code §94,3(a)(10) specifies procedures for participation in pre-release programs and it provides in relevant part that an “inmates privilege to participate in prerelease programs may be suspended or revoked for administrative or disciplinary reasons,” We believe the instant case is analogous to Al Samad in that here the same regulations which Petitioner argues grant him a privilege also specifically limit the privilege. • . ■

Accordingly, we must hold here, as we did in Al Samad, that the Departments decision is not an adjudication- subject .to our appellate review because it does not implicate any rights or privileges not limited by Department regulations. - - -

We turn now to Petitioners argument that this case should be considered in our original jurisdiction if we determine that it is not reviewable in our appellate jurisdiction. .

In Martin v. Jeffes, 93 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 82, 501 A.2d 308 (1985), we considered an inmates petition for review in . óur original jurisdiction pursuant to Section 761 of the Judicial Code, as amended, 42 Pa. C. S. §761, after we-had determined that the action was not proper.in our appellate jurisdiction. The inmate there argued that the prisons policy which restricted the possession of typewriters by inmates to particular models’ violated, inter alia, his United States constitutional rights to due process'and equal protection of the law. - •

We stated there that:

Although imprisonment may . not operate to deprive an individual of his basic constitutional rights, ‘[1] awful incarceration brings about the *579 necessary withdrawal or limitation of many privileges and rights, a retraction justified by the considerations underlying our penal system.’ [Citations omitted.] Matters of prison management are uniquely the province of the executive and legislative branches of the government. Our inquiry into such matters must therefore be limited to the question of whether or not a constitutional violation has occurred.

Martin at 86, 501 A.2d at 310 (emphasis added).

It is clear then- that where an inmate files an action in our original jurisdiction seeking review of Department action, our inquiry must be limited to a determination of whether a constitutional or statutory violation has occurred. Martin; see also Inmates of B-Block v. Jeffes, 87 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 98, 483 A.2d 569 (1984). In Martin, we dismissed the inmate’s action noting that one has no constitutional right to possession of a typewriter in prison and that therefore the inmate had raised no facts which could indicate a constitutional violation.

In the seminal case of Wolff v. McDonnell, 418 U.S. 539 (1974), our United States Supreme Court discussed the constitutional rights of prisoners. The Court there stated that while lawful imprisonment necessarily makes many rights and privileges of the ordinary citizen unavailable to the prisoner, a prisoner is not entirely stripped of constitutional rights. The Court stated that:

Prisoners . . . enjoy substantial religious freedom under the First and Fourteenth Amendments. They retain right of access to the courts. Prisoners are protected under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment from invidious discrimination based on race. Prisoners may also claim the protections of the Due Process Clause. They may not be deprived of *580 life, liberty, or property without due process of law.

Id. at 556 (citations omitted).

In this case, Petitioner argues that his pre-release status was revoked without due process of law in that he was not permitted to confront or cross-examine anyone with respect to the lab report upon which the Department relied to find him guilty of the misconduct charge. It is clear, however, that one has no constitutional right to either participate in a pre-release program, or to the confrontation and cross-examination of witnesses in prison disciplinary proceedings. Robson; Wolff at 568 4 We conclude that Petitioner has raised no facts which indicate a constitutional violation, and therefore has failed to state a cause of action. Martin.

Accordingly, we grant Respondents’ motion to dismiss.
