G-324A PBNDS 2008 Detention Inspection Worksheet - Rev: 05/09/2017 – Form Key 27

Performance-Based National Detention Standards 2008 Inspection Worksheet for Over 72 Hour Facilities

INTRODUCTION TO THE G-324A OVER 72 HOUR FACILITY DETENTION
INSPECTION WORKSHEETS
The Performance-Based National Detention Standards (PBNDS 2008) were designed to better
address the needs of ICE’s detainee population while maintaining a safe and secure detention
environment for staff and detainees. The revised PBNDS 2008 builds on the requirements of NDS to
more clearly delineate the results or outcomes to be accomplished by adherence to their
requirements. The PBNDS 2008 prescribe both the expected outcomes of each detention standard
and the expected practices required to achieve them. During development four new standards
were added to include standards on Searches of Detainees, Sexual Abuse and Assault Prevention
and Intervention, News Media Interviews and Tours, and Staff Training, while the two National
Detention Standards regarding Special Management Units standards were condensed into one
standard in PBNDS 2008.
WHAT IS “PERFORMANCE-BASED”?
Unlike “policy and procedures” that focus solely on what is to be done, performance-based policy
starts with a focus on the results or outcomes that the required procedures are expected to
accomplish. Each performance-based standard has been revised to produce Expected Outcomes
that are clearly stated. Each standard reflects the overall mission and purpose of the agency and
contributes to the goal that has been articulated.
Expected Practices found in the PBNDS represent what is to be done to accomplish the Expected
Outcomes that will meet the Purpose and Scope of the detention standard.
WORKSHEET OVERVIEW
Detention Inspection Worksheets are used to assess facility compliance with ICE detention
standards. This set of worksheets is derived from the policies and procedures set forth in the
PBNDS 2008. The G-324A is for use with facilities that house detainees for over 72 hours.
Various line items in the worksheets have been designated as “Priority.” Priority components
replace mandatory components in earlier PBNDS 2008 worksheets, and represent those PBNDS
requirements that ICE deems of critical importance for ensuring adequate conditions of
confinement and the safety and security of detainees and staff at all ICE authorized detention
facilities.

Performance-Based National Detention Standards 2008 Inspection Worksheet for Over 72 Hour Facilities

WORKSHEET COMPLETION
Reviewers are required to complete each item within each section of the G-324A Detention
Inspection Worksheets. Worksheets are in a uniform format with three columns, with PBNDS
purpose and scope stated at the top of the worksheet. Column one contains the relevant standard
line item. Column two contains a dropdown menu for each row where a rating can be assigned to a
given line item. In addition to rating options for “Meets Standard” and “Does Not Meet Standard,”
there is an option for the review team to select “N/A.” The “N/A” rating should be used only rarely
and where applicable. In addition, the remarks section for each line item should be filled out in as
much detail as possible. If the review team fails to assign a rating to a given line item, the default
rating and thus the assigned rating on the worksheet will show as “Not Rated.”
There is also a summary remarks and rating section at the end of each standard that must be
completed by the assigned reviewer. The remarks should be filled out with sufficient detail to assist
the Review Authority in accurately assessing overall facility compliance to the PBNDS.

Overall Remarks: (Record significant facts, observations, other sources used, etc.) (5000 Character Max)
The safety program is administered by Captain Brandon Crowley, with some components assigned to Lieutenant Neil Taylor
on a collateral basis. The captain was provided OSHA training as a former volunteer firefighter, and has completed additional
OSHA training in his current position.
Environmental health and safety conditions are not always maintained at a level consistent with the recognized safety and
hygiene standards of the organizations listed in this component. Specifically, sanitation levels were not consistent in some
areas. Toilet and shower areas in the housing units were not clean and were cluttered with various items. Several storage
areas and offices were cluttered and in need of basic sanitation such as sweeping and/or mopping.
Observation of fire extinguishers in several areas does not support monthly inspection although a master monthly report
indicates otherwise. Two extinguishers located in the ICE office were placed on the floor and not mounted on the wall. Some
fire exits as well as an evacuation diagrams were blocked throughout the inspection. Although the facility utilizes a red line to
enforce that nothing be within eighteen inches of the ceiling, items were observed exceding the line in two locations.
The fire prevention, control and evacuation plan includes all of the bulleted requirements except the required exit signs and
directional arrows. A waiver, approved by Jay M. Brooks, ICE Deputy Assistant Director, Detention Management Division on
12/12/2018, regarding evacuation diagrams in areas where detainees could use the for escape purposes remains in force.
The "work around" solution was to ensure that evacuation plans were posted and maintained in both the facility control
room and housing unit control rooms.
Hazardous materials were observed in various areas other than designated storage areas suggesting a lack of adherance to

issue/return procedures. Specifically, a partial five-gallon bucket of caustic stripper was stored in the control room hallway
and a partial gallon of fluid marked poison was observed on top of a file cabintet in the ICE office.
Interview with Stan Roark, RN, indicated inspections are performed daily in health services and are documented on a check
list. However, documentation reflects the office is cleaned weekly with no mention of other areas in health services.
Observation of the health services area suggests there is not a regularly scheduled cleaning program.
During the evaluation of this standard Captain Brandon Crowley, Lieutenant Neil Taylor and Registered Nurse Stan Roark
were interviewed; policies and logs were reviewed and the physical plant was observed.

Overall Remarks: (Record significant facts, observations, other sources used, etc.) (5000 Character Max)
Detainees are transported safely and humanely under the supervision of trained staff with required qualifications. Policy
requires escorting officers to properly identify the detainee they are transporting. The facility does not have a handicap
accessible van to transport detainees with disabilities. The OIC would borrow a vehicle from an adjoining county if such a
need would present. Meals are provided for long-distance transfers. The facility prohibits one-on-one opposite gender
transports.
As reported by the OIC, officers are required to secure a vehicle before leaving it unattended including removing keys from
the ignition immediately upon parking the vehicle. Officers avoid parking in areas that may attract undue attention or be
vulnerable to vandalism or sabotage. Transportation officers are instructed to contact local law enforcement for advice if
they cannot locate parking with adequate security.
Policy requires an armed officer to be posted whenever detainees enter or exit a vehicle outside a secure area. A complete
set of keys for every lock located in or on the vehicle travels with the vehicle at all times in a secure place known to every
transporting officer. An armed officer may not enter the secure area of the vehicle. If he/she must enter that area, the officer
shall first leave the weapon(s) with another officer for safekeeping.
Evaluation of this standard was based on review of the Inmate Transports policy, trip sheets, post orders, CDL's and training
documents; observation of a transportation vehicle which was observed to be unclean; and interviews with Chief Deputy Josh
Clarke, Sergeant Jace Glassburn and Captain Brandon Crowley.

(Use following format for dates: mm/dd/yyyy)

Overall Remarks: (Record significant facts, observations, other sources used, etc.) (5000 Character Max)
The facility has written policy and procedures in place related to the admissions process, which includes intake and
admissions forms and screening forms. Staff members are provided with adequate training on the admissions process. Staff
search efforts focus on commonly used hiding and smuggling places, such as pockets, waistbands, seams, collars, zipper
areas, cuffs, and shoe exteriors and interiors, including under the inner soles. Staff also inspects all open containers, and
inventories and stores factory-sealed durable goods in accordance with facility procedures. A strip search, if performed, must
take place in an area that affords privacy from other detainees and from facility staff who are not involved in the search.
Observation must be limited to members of the same sex. The strip search must be supported by reasonable suspicion and
be documented. Before strip searching, an officer makes attempts to resolve his or her suspicions through less intrusive
means, such as a thorough examination of reasonably available ICE and other law enforcement records; a pat-down search
and a detainee interview. The officers also document the results of those other, less intrusive, search methods.
The orientation procedures in this IGSA facility have been approvedby the ICE field office.
COVID-19 safety protocols have been developed and implemented for all newly admitted detainees which included, upon
entry to the intake area, detainees would be provided a mask, their body temperature would be measured and recorded, a
series of questions would be asked and recorded to determine possible exposure, and they would be placed in quarantine
status for fourteen days prior to assignment to general population. Detention officers would conduct an intake screening and,
when indicated, would contact the RN, either on-site or at home, and provide any questionable information obtained during
the intake screening. The RN would contact the physician by telephone to review the intake screening results and obtain
orders if needed.
In order to provide access to programs and services, the facility provides communication assistance to LEP detainees and
detainees with minor disabilities. This is achieved via bilingual staff, a translation service, or other means for LEP detainees; or

Detainees are classified in accordance with the standard. The facility staff responds to a detainee request for reclassification
within 72 hours. Classification staff consider institutional disciplinary history, documented violent episodes and incidents,
medical information, and a history of victimization while in detention in determining classification. The completed
classification paperwork is filed by ICE in the A-File (right side) and a copy is given to the facility and placed in the detainee's
detention file. Detainees are offered recreational and other activities according to their classification. Detainees have an
initial assessment to include health screening within twelve hours of arrival at the facility.
Policy notes that medium custody detainees shall not have a behavior pattern or history of violent assaults whether
convicted or not. The medium custody detainees have not been convicted of assault on a correctional officer while in
custody nor have a previous institutional record suggesting a pattern of assaults while in custody. High custody detainees are
considered a high-risk category and are housed in medium to maximum security housing. They are always monitored and
escorted. High custody detainees at this facility may be housed with medium custody detainees. Reclassification of a detainee
to high custody based on documented behavior including threats to the facility, other detainees or personnel will be
approved by the classification officer within 72 hours.
Reclassifications that include a reduction in custody level are referred to ICE for review and decision. All detainees placed in

department. Medication dispensed or approved by the medical department is considered hard contraband if found in the
possession of a detainee for whom it was not prescribed, or if not used as prescribed. Hard contraband, which is criminal in
nature, is collected, processed and disposed of by the OIC. Hard contraband that is illegal is turned over to the sheriff's
department for storage, prosecution and disposal. There has been no such seizure of contraband.
Property that is not illegal under criminal statutes, and does not pose a security threat is inventoried, receipted and either
mailed to a third party or stored with the detainee's other property. Contraband that is government property is retained as
evidence for possible disciplinary action or criminal prosecution. A copy of the property disposal record is placed in the
detainee's detention file. There has been no such discovery.
Evaluation of this standard was based on review of the Control of Contraband/Searches policy, detention files, activity logs
and handbook; observation of property storage room; and interviews with Captain Brandon Crowley and Lieutenant Neil
Taylor.

PART 2 – 7. FACILITY SECURITY AND CONTROL – Reviewer Summary
(Use following format for dates: mm/dd/yyyy)

Overall Remarks: (Record significant facts, observations, other sources used, etc.) (5000 Character Max)
Policies are in place to protect detainees, employees, and the community from harm by initiating operating procedures and
hiring a trained work force necessary to prevent events which create risk of harm and to ensure security is always
maintained.
While in the facility, employees must always have the identification card in their possession. For tracking the arrivals and
departures of contract employees, the OIC has established policy and procedures that require all contract employees to have
a contract employee identification card that must be presented upon entering and upon exiting the facility.
A delivery for food service was observed during the inspection. The vendor unloaded a semi-trailer directly into an indoor
sally port, which is opened by a remote control center via camera. At times during the process, both interior and exterior sally
port doors were open simultaneously as the driver unloaded the trailer with some items dropped in the kitchen and others in
the sally port. There is no perimeter fence at this facility and no security staff were present inside or outside. There does not
appear to be any search of the goods, nor security procesing of the delivery driver or vehicle. This concern is compounded by
the fact that the food service staff member receiving the order has not received any security related training.
The central control center coordinates all vehicle traffic entering the sally port. However, the rear gate entrance officer does
not check the driver's credentials, does not record vehicle information and does not ensure that all weapons are secured in a
gun locker before entering the secure perimeter. Vehicles are not searched and escorted while inside the secure perimeter.
No documentation was available to confirm that officers check the inventory of tools entering and leaving the special
management unit.
On 12/29/2020, a non-ICE detainee escaped from two officers while in custody at Union Hospital. The detainee threw an
unknown substance in one of the officer's face and fled down the hall and out of the hospital. The non-ICE detainee was
apprehended within twenty hours.
To provide detainees with meaningful access to its programs and activities, the facility ensures that detainees with disabilities
and detainees who are limited in their English proficiency (LEP) are provided with effective communication by as many means
possible through a language line translation service.
Policy requires that unannounced security inspections are conducted by housing officers on day and night shifts to control
the introduction of contraband, identify and deter sexual abuse of detainees; ensure facility safety, security and good order;
prevent escapes; maintain sanitary standards; and eliminate fire and safety hazards.
Evaluation of this standard was based on review of the Control of Contraband/Searches policy, Security and Control policy,

PART 2 - 8. FUNDS AND PERSONAL PROPERTY – Reviewer Summary
(Use following format for dates: mm/dd/yyyy)

Overall Remarks: (Record significant facts, observations, other sources used, etc.) (5000 Character Max)
The evaluation of this standard was based upon personal observations of the booking area, the secure property storage room
and the secure valuable storage cabinet in the ICE office. A review of policy, an examination of documents and detainee
detention files was also conducted.
The processes described above substantiated practices are sufficient to ensure detainee property is safeguarded and
controlled under conditions that enhance the security of the property. Each detainee and their property are searched for
contraband. Property and valuables are inventoried and stored in a secure area. Each detainee is treated with respect and
dignity.
Detainees are permitted to keep in their possession reasonable quantities of personal property if the particular items do not
pose a threat to the security or good order of the facility. The local handbook notifies the detainees of the policies and
procedures concerning items they may retain in their possession, rules for storing or mailing unauthorized property, the
procedures for claiming property, and the procedures for filing a property claim.
A detainees' abandoned or forgotten property is forwarded to ICE for final disposition or disposed of at the direction of ICE.
There is a commissary where detainees may purchase store items.
An Office of Detention Oversight (ODO) review conducted in November 2020, referenced several areas of concern in funds
and personal property. Specifically, that the local handbook did not address the process for a detainee to acquire copies of
identity documents, the local handbook did not address the process for storing or mailing property which is not allowed in
their personal possession, the local handbook did not address the process a detainee would use to file a claim for lost or

damaged property and the local handbook did not address the process a detainee would use to withdraw funds from their
commissary account to pay for legal services. A review of the local handbook during this inspection revealed these four
concerns are now addressed. Although written policies and procedures do not address the audit of detainee detainee funds,
valuables and personal property, monthly audits of these areas are conducted and documented. In this IGSA facility, a
logbook to record funds placed into and out of the funds safe is not used; nor is an accountability logbook or a logbook to
record property placed into and taken out of the property room.
During the evaluation of this standard Captain Brandon Crowley, Lieutenant Neil Taylor and Sergeant Jase Glassburn were

The facility handles detainee searches in accordance with the standard. There are procedures in place to conduct dormitories
and work areas searches which are primarily designed to detect contraband, prevent escapes, maintain sanitary standards,
and eliminate fire and safety hazards. The procedures also include basic correctional services during lockdowns, such as
delivery of food services, toilet access, medication delivery, and other vital services.
The detainees at this facility are pat searched on a routine or random basis to control contraband without a threshold level of
suspicion. The search includes a search of the detainee's clothing and personal effects. The post orders for staff assigned to
monitor detainees that are in close observation are clear and concise. They contain all the items outlined in the standard.
Detainees that are in a dry cell status for more than seven days have the prior approval of both the OIC and medical staff.
In order to provide access to programs and services, the facility provides communication assistance to LEP detainees and
detainees with disabilities. This is achieved via bilingual staff, translation services, or other means for LEP detainees; or in the
form of auxiliary aids for detainees with disabilities including, but not limited to, those aids listed in the standard. Decisions
regarding detainees with disabilities, LEP detainee, and/or detainees included under any SAAPI/DHS PREA protection or
category will be made only after consideration of the disability, language difficulty, or SAAPI/PREA condition. The facility does
not house detainees with significant physical or mental disabilities. Detainees requiring special housing accommodations or
special care due to a disability are transferred to an appropriate facility.

(Use following format for dates: mm/dd/yyyy)

Overall Remarks: (Record significant facts, observations, other sources used, etc.) (5000 Character Max)
The facility has a comprehensive, zero tolerance sexual abuse and assault prevention and intervention program in place.
Approved policies and procedures ensure immediate protection to victims, including prevention of retaliation, assure medical
and mental health referrals for alleged victims, specify procedures for detainees to report allegations to any staff member,
specify medical employees’ responsibility to report allegations or suspicions of sexual assault to facility staff and specify
procedures for evidence gathering and forensic medical exam protocols. Detainees are provided instructions on how to
contact DHS/OIG or ICE to confidentially report sexual abuse or assault.
Decisions regarding detainees with disabilities, LEP detainees, and/or detainees included under any SAAPI/DHS PREA
protection or category would be made only after consideration of the disability, language difficulty or SAAPI/PREA condition.
The facility is managed in such a manner as to protect detainees from sexual assault or abuse.
The OIC has designated a Prevention of Sexual Assault (PSA) compliance manager. The program manager assists with the
development of written policies and procedures and training protocols and serves as a liaison with other agencies. Employee,
contractor and volunteer training includes all the topics listed in the standard. Following the intake process, detainees are
educated on the SAAPI program and on topics as required in the standard. Statements from detainees claiming to be victims
of sexual assaults are taken seriously and professionally responded to.
Victims of sexual assault would be taken to Union Hospital where a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) would conduct an
examination and collect forensic evidence using an approved kit; forensic evidence is secured and the chain of custody is
maintained; testing is conducted for sexually transmitted diseases and infections and referrals for counseling are made, as
appropriate; upon request, prophylactic treatment, emergency contraception and follow-up examinations for sexually
transmitted diseases are offered; after the physical examination, a mental health professional evaluates the need for crisis
intervention, counseling and long-term follow-up. During the community forensic exam, the victim may choose to have an
outside advocate present. When the detainee has been transferred, the OIC is notified.
There was one sexual abuse and assault allegation during this inspection period and per the PSA compliance manager, as of
last week, it was still being investigated by ICE personnel. Reports related to the incident were readily available for review by
the inspector.
Evaluation of this standard was based on review of policy and procedures, visualization of detainee housing units and
postings, review of tracking logs, training curriculum/documentation, review of one detainee health care record, and staff
interviews. Interviews included, PSA Compliance Manager, Sergeant Jase Glassburn; Staff Registered Nurse (RN), Stan Roark
and ICE Deportation Officer/Detention Standards Compliance Officer, Tashi F. Tillman.

segregation based on their vulnerabilities to sexual or other types of abuse or assault.
Detainees are evaluated by a medical professional prior to placement into the SMU when feasible; or as soon as possible
when not feasible. Seriously mentally ill detainees are given a mental health consultation within 72 hours of placement into
the SMU, and are seen weekly by a mental health provider for the length of their stay in the SMU. Training in the
identification and management of mentally ill detainees such as identification of signs of mental health decomposition,
interacting with mentally ill detainees, and de-escalation techniques, is provided to the staff assigned to the SMU.
Policy and procedures are in place to control and secure access to the SMU, contraband, tools, and food carts. Administrative
segregation records are maintained and used to record specific data on detainees upon admission to and release from the
unit and for supervisors to record their visits. Detainees in disciplinary segregation will have more stringent personal property
restrictions and control than those in administrative segregation. Detainees housed in the SMU have the same law library
access as the general population.
The facility provides communication assistance to LEP detainees and detainees with disabilities. This may be achieved via
bilingual staff, translation services, TTY machine, or other means for LEP detainees; or in the form of auxiliary aids for
detainees with disabilities including, but not limited to, those aids listed in the standard. Detainees are provided translation
services or interpretation services while in the SMU to assist with their understanding of conditions of confinement as well as

PART 4 – 20. FOOD SERVICE – Reviewer Summary
(Use following format for dates: mm/dd/yyyy)

Overall Remarks: (Record significant facts, observations, other sources used, etc.) (5000 Character Max)
Food service is managed by Tammie Fagg, Head Cook, and three part time staff. Non-ICE detainee workers assists with food
service operations. The HC and the three part-time staff are ServSafe certified.
Food service operations were observed during a noon meal. During the meal non-ICE detainees were observed traying the
meal without constant supervision, and were not utilizing serving utensils. Once trayed, the meals were placed by the
workers onto open carts, and again were unsupervised. The meals were transported to the housing area where security staff
supervised the meal distribution.
The refrigerator, freezer and dry storage areas were unsecured during the observation period despite posted signs to keep
them secured when not in use.
Food service utizes a five-week meal cycle and menus were approved by a registered dietician.
Review of the tools maintained in the kitchen confirmed knives were secured by a padlock and hasp. While the cabinet frame
is metal, the actual doors to the cabinet appear to be plexiglass and could be compromised. An approximately six-inch set of
broken shears was observed stored within the cabinet and not inventoried or otherwise accounted for.
Temperatures and logs confirm food is maintained/prepared within appropriate parameters. However, the head cook used
the same thermometer to check numerous food items without appropriate sanitizing.
The kichen appeared clean and well organized. Several non-ICE detainee workers commented on the quality of meals.
A delivery for food service was observed during the inspection. The vendor unloaded a semi trailer directly into an indoor
sallyport which is opened remotely by the control center. At times during the process, both interior and exterior sallyport
doors are open simultaneously as the driver unloaded the trailer with some items dropped in the kitchen and others in the
sallyport. There is no perimeter fence at this facility and no security staff present inside or outside. There does not appear to
be a search of the goods, nor security procesing of the delivery driver or vehicle. This concern is compounded by the fact that
food service staff personnel receiving the order have not received security related training.
Evaluation of this standard was based on interviews with the Tammie Fagg, Head Cook; observation of meal traying
operations; review of temperature logs, menus, training files; observation of food service kitchen and storage areas.

PART 4 – 21. HUNGER STRIKES – Reviewer Summary
(Use following format for dates: mm/dd/yyyy)

Overall Remarks: (Record significant facts, observations, other sources used, etc.) (5000 Character Max)
During initial referral, medical personnel document the reasons for placing a detainee in a single occupancy observation
room. This decision is reviewed every 72 hours. Medical personnel make the decision regarding appropriate housing
placement when food and liquid intake/output is measured.
If a detainee engaging in a hunger strike has been previously diagnosed with a mental health condition, or is incapable of
giving informed consent due to age or illness, appropriate medical/administrative action would be taken in the best interest
of the detainee.
Only qualified medical personnel modify or augment standard treatment protocols. If medically necessary, detainees are
transferred to a community hospital or a detention facility appropriately equipped for treatment. Detainees refusing to
accept treatment are counseled by medical personnel regarding the medical risks associated with refusal of treatment.
When clinical assessment and laboratory results indicate a detainee's weakening condition threatens the life or long-term
health of the detainee, a physician recommends involuntary treatment. The OIC notifies ICE if a detainee is refusing
treatment, and the staff RN notifies the IHSC managed care coordinator in writing of any proposed plan to involuntarily feed
the detainee. Any involuntary medical treatment is approved by ICE. The FOD, in consultation with the physician, contacts the
respective ICE Office of Chief Counsel and the U.S. Attorney's Office and discusses any impending involuntary medical
treatment and makes recommendations regarding pursuing a court order. Medical personnel continue clinical and laboratory
monitoring as necessary until the detainee's life or health is out of danger and continue medical and mental health follow-up
as necessary.
Written policy, procedures and practice for the identification and management of hunger strikers are in place.
Since the last inspection, there have been no hunger strikes.
Evaluation of the standard was determined following a review of policy and procedures, medical treatment protocols,
training outlines and records and interviews with the medical staff RN, Stan Roark; ICE Compliance Officer, Tashi F. Tillman
and Sergeant Taylor for training documentation.

Does Not Meet Standard

This component was rated Does
Not Meet Standard because the
administrative health authority is
not a physician, health services
administrator, or a health agency
as the standard requires. The
sheriff was designated as the
administrative health authority,
by the clinical medical authority
(CMA) in July of 2020. The CMA is
a licensed physician and per
policy, has final clinical
judgement with respect to
medical decisions. Clinical
decisions are made by qualified
clinicians.

Every facility shall directly or contractually provide its
detainee population:
•

Initial medical, mental health, and dental screening,

•

Primary medical and dental care, Emergency care,
Specialty health care,

•

Timely responses, Mental health care, and

•

Hospitalization as needed within the local community.

A designated administrative health authority shall have
overall responsibility for health care services pursuant to a
written agreement, contract, or job description. The
administrative health authority is a physician, health
services administrator, or health agency. When the
administrative health authority is other than a physician,
final clinical judgment shall rest with the facility’s
designated clinical medical authority. In no event should
clinical decisions be made by non-clinicians.

The facility administrator, in collaboration with the clinical
medical authority and administrative health authority,
negotiates and maintains arrangements with nearby
medical facilities or health care providers to provide
required health care not available within the facility, as
well as identifying custodial officers to transport and
remain with detainees for the duration of any off-site
treatment or hospital admission.

and immediately entered the cell and interupted the attempt. The detainee was placed on level one suicide watch.
Detainees receive an initial mental health screening by detention staff within twelve hours of admission. Results of the
screening are documented on an approved intake screening form which includes observation and interview items related to
potential suicide risk. The intake screening becomes a permanent part of the detainee's medical record.
Detainees may be identified as being at risk for suicide at any time while in ICE custody. This identification may be through
self-referral or through daily observation and/or interaction with medical, security or ICE personnel. An at-risk detainee
referred for an evaluation would be placed in a secure environment on observation until the evaluation was completed.
Based on the evaluation, mental health personnel would develop a treatment plan which would address the environmental,
historical and psychological factors that contributed to the detainee's suicidal ideation. The plan would include strategies and
interventions to be followed by employees and the detainee if suicidal ideation reoccurred and strategies for improved
functioning and regular follow-up appointments based on level of acuity. The treatment plan would be documented in the
detainee's medical record. All detainees discharged from suicide watch are re-assessed by an appropriately trained and
qualified mental health provider or medical personnel at intervals consistent with the level of acuity. The facility uses three
levels of suicide watch status as follows: level one requires one-to-one observation with fifteen-minute documentation and
the detainee clothed in a suicide smock; level two requires staggered fifteen-minute documentation, and the detainee can be
clothed in regular facility issued clothing; and, at level three, the detainee can be in general population with 24, 48 and 72
hours follow-up with additional evaluations at two weeks and thirty days.
When medical personnel determine a detainee is at imminent risk of bodily injury or death, medical personnel would make a
recommendation to place the detainee in an observation cell designated for the purposes of evaluation and/or treatment. If
the detainee is mentally competent and refuses, ICE counsel would be consulted as to appropriate further action such as

petitioning the appropriate federal court to intervene against the detainee's refusal for purposes of his potential
hospitalization and treatment.
In the event of a suicide attempt, medical personnel arriving on the scene perform the appropriate medical evaluation and
intervention. The physician/medical director would be notified when referral to the emergency room of the local hospital was
required. In the event of a detainee death, the DHS Office of Inspector General would be notified within 48 hours, and all
personnel who came into contact with the victim prior to the incident would submit a statement including their knowledge of
the detainee and the incident. Consistent communication is maintained between medical, mental health and correctional
personnel through a variety of mechanisms including intake forms, daily briefings, shift change briefings, medical progress
notes, special needs forms, medical/psychiatric alerts and transfer summaries.
Suicide prevention policy and procedures protect the detainee's health and well-being. No training documentation was
available to confirm the requirement of staff training.
Since the last inspection, there were no serious suicide attempts or suicides.
Evaluation of this standard was determined following a review of policy, training records, and curriculum; a detainee medical

PART 4 – 25. TERMINAL ILLNESS, ADVANCE DIRECTIVES, AND DEATH – Reviewer Summary
(Use following format for dates: mm/dd/yyyy)

Overall Remarks: (Record significant facts, observations, other sources used, etc.) (5000 Character Max)
When a detainee is hospitalized, the regional IHSC managed care coordinator and the HSA follow up on a daily basis to
receive information about major developments. In conjunction with medical providers, ICE provides family members and any
others as much opportunity for visitation as possible in keeping with the safety, security and good order of the facility.
Advance directive guidelines include having a living will other than the generic form made available by medical personnel;
appointing another individual to make advance decisions for him/her; and having a private attorney prepare the documents
at the detainee's expense. DNR policy complies with the following stipulations: a DNR order written by a staff physician is
approved by the CMA; it protects basic patient rights and complies with state requirements; a decision to withhold
resuscitative services is considered only under specified conditions (the detainee has a terminal illness, the detainee has
requested and signed the order, the decision is consistent with sound medical practice and is not in any way associated with
any measures to hasten death); the medical file includes explicit directions regarding the DNR and forms and memoranda
regarding diagnosis and prognosis, the express wishes of the detainee, the immediate family's wishes, consensual decisions
and recommendations of medical professionals identified by name and title, the mental competency evaluation and informed
consent; and the clinical director or nursing personnel notify the IHSC medical director and the ICE Office of Chief Counsel of
the basic circumstances of any detainee with a DNR order.
If neither the family nor consulate claim the remains, ICE would schedule an indigent's burial after contacting the Department
of Veterans Affairs to determine burial benefits. The chaplain may advise the OIC about religious considerations in remains
disposition. ICE does not authorize cremation or donation of the remains for medical research. Written policy and procedures
on autopsies include: the ICE Office of Chief Counsel is consulted, and a written copy of the autopsy is forwarded to the ICE
Office of Chief Counsel. While an autopsy decision is pending, no actions are taken that could affect the validity of the results.
The FOD verifies and accommodates the detainee's religious preference prior to autopsy or embalming. The chaplain was not
involved in formulation of the policy and procedures.
It is established practice to notify ICE if the medical condition of a detainee already housed in the facility deteriorates and
requires a level of medical care beyond the onsite health care capabilities. The detainee would be transported to an outside
medical facility for emergency and/or impatient medical care as needed pending transfer or removal by ICE.
Since the last inspection, there have been no reported deaths, no requests submitted for DNR orders or advance directives.

The facility has written policy and procedures concerning detainee correspondence and other mail. The rules for
correspondence and other mail, which are provided to detainees in the handbook and are posted in the housing units,
address all information required by the standard. The quantity of correspondence a detainee may send or receive at his own
expense is not limited.
Incoming priority mail, overnight mail, certified mail and deliveries from a private package service are recorded in a logbook.
Packages and publications are subject to certain restrictions. Detainees are not permitted to send or receive packages
without the prior approval of the OIC. Detainees must pay postage for packages, unless deemed necessary by the OIC, which
includes oversized or overweight mail. Inspection of the mail is for detecting contraband and to maintain security. Incoming
general correspondence is opened, but not read, and inspected for contraband before it is delivered to the detainee.
Incoming special correspondence is opened in the presence of the detainee but not read. Outgoing general correspondence
is inspected if it is addressed to another detainee or there is reason to believe that it may present a threat to the facility or
others. Rejected mail is considered contraband and is handled in accordance with the contraband standard. Detainees may
appeal rejection of correspondence through the detainee grievance system. Upon approval of the OIC, soft contraband is
returned to the sender. The security captain insures that the records of the discovery and disposition of contraband are
accurate and current. Correspondence to/from the news media is considered special correspondence if properly identified as
such.
In order to provide access to programs and services, the facility provides communication assistance to LEP detainees and
detainees with disabilities. This is achieved via bilingual staff, translation services, or other means for LEP detainees; or in the
form of auxiliary aids for detainees with disabilities including, but not limited to, those aids listed in the standard.
Detainees may not receive compensation or anything of value for correspondence with the media and may not act as a
reporter or publish under a byline. The facility aids any detainee without legal representation who requests certain services in
connection with a legal matter (notary public, certified mail, etc.) if the detainee has no family member, friend, or community
organization able to provide assistance. When timely communication through the mail is not possible, a reasonable amount
of communication by means of a facsimile device between the detainee and designated legal representative is permitted.

PART 5 – 28. MARRIAGE REQUESTS – Reviewer Summary
(Use following format for dates: mm/dd/yyyy)

Overall Remarks: (Record significant facts, observations, other sources used, etc.) (5000 Character Max)
There have been no requests to marry by ICE detainees in this inspection period.
A review of policy, interviews with facility personnel and an interview with the sheriff indicated that detainees are not
allowed the opportunity to marry while detained in this facility. Any request to marry is immediately forwarded to ICE for
processing. Should the request be approved the detainee will be moved to a facility where marriages can be held. This move
is the responsibility of ICE. Requests are considered on a case-by-case basis. Detainees may seek legal assistance throughout
the marriage application process. Guidelines for denying a detainee's marriage request includes the following: the detainee is
not legally eligible to be married; the detainee is not mentally competent, as determined by a qualified medical practitioner;
the intended spouse has not affirmed, in writing, his/her intent to marry the detainee; the marriage would present a threat
to the security or orderly operation of the facility; or there are compelling government interests for denying the request. A
detainee may file an appeal to the FOD if the request is denied.
When a request is approved, after the detainee has been moved, the following guidelines are followed: the detainee, legal
representative or other individual acting on the detainee's behalf will make all the marriage arrangements including, but not
limited to, blood tests, obtaining marriage license, and retaining an official to perform the marriage ceremony. ICE personnel
do not participate in making marriage arrangements nor serve as witnesses in the ceremony. The marriage does not interrupt
nor stay any hearing, transfer to another facility or removal from the United States. Transfers do not occur solely to prevent a
marriage. All arrangements are consistent with the security and orderly operation of the facility according to the following
stipulations: the ceremony may take place inside the facility; all expenses relating to the marriage are borne by the detainee
or person acting on the detainee's behalf; and the ceremony is private with no media publicity and only individuals essential
for the marriage ceremony attend. The ICE OIC has the right of final approval concerning the time, place and manner of all
arrangements. There have been no marriage requests processed during the inspection period.
The evaluation of this standard was based on a review of documentation, reports and interviews with Clay County Sheriff
Paul Harden, Captain Brandon Crowley and Detention Standards Compliance Officer Tashi Tillman.

(Use following format for dates: mm/dd/yyyy)

Overall Remarks: (Record significant facts, observations, other sources used, etc.) (5000 Character Max)
Under normal circumstances, religious programming has been offered multiple times each week. The services have been led
by a contingent of volunteers from five different religious community organizations. Religious activities were coordinated by
the lieutenant prior to COVID-19 restrictions. Religious activities, including participation by religious volunteers, have been
curtailed over the past months due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Detainees can designate any or no religious preference during admission. With a written request to the OIC, a detainee can
request to change this designation at any time, and the change will be reviewed by the lieutenant or the captain and effected
in a timely manner. In the interest of maintaining the safe, secure and orderly operation of the facility and to prevent abuse
or disrespect by detainees of religious practices or observances, the lieutenant, acting as the religious services coordinator,
monitors patterns of changes in declarations of the detainee's religious preference. When the facility is determining whether
to allow a detainee to participate in specific religious activity, the lieutenant, refers to the information contained in the initial
classification and the detainee’s religious designation. Detainees showing "No Preference" can be restricted from
participating in those activities deemed appropriate for members only. Religious diet requests are forwarded to the
lieutenant or captain for review and approval. When approved, the request is forwarded to the food service manager.
Evaluation of this standard was based upon interviews with Lieutenant Neil Taylor, Captain Brandon Crowley and Sergeant
