CC 07_101  DEFINITIONS

  1. WCSO:  Washington County Sheriff's Office
  2. PCF:  Purgatory Correctional Facility
  3. ID:  Identification

CC 07_102  GENERAL

  1. Policy:
    1. Every PCF inmate assigned to a general housing location should be provided with a photo ID card.
    2. ID cards for inmates housed in Booking or in a special management cell (i.e., lock down or administrative segregation) should be maintained by PCF personnel.
    3. Inmate ID cards shall remain the property of PCF.
    4. As with other PCF property, inmates shall be responsible for the care of their issued ID card while it is in their possession.
    5. Lost or damaged ID cards should be replaced as soon as possible, consistent with current disciplinary procedures (reference policy: CG 07 Punitive Discipline).
    6. Inmates shall present their ID card to any PCF personnel upon request.
  2. Rationale:
    1. Inmate identification cards allow for quick identification of inmates. Quick identification of inmates allows personnel to work more efficiently and effectively.

CC 07_103  TRACKING

  1. Policy:
    1. Inmates should submit their ID card directly to a deputy prior to leaving their housing area. ID cards should be submitted by an inmate to a deputy in person, not through a pass-through drawer.
    2. Area control centers should track the location of each inmate who has left their area by placing the inmate's ID card in a location-labeled box or bin.
    3. Inmates should receive their ID cards back in person from a deputy upon return to their housing area.
  2. Rationale:
    1. Inmate location tracking is necessary in order to ensure inmate safety and facility security.

CC 07_105  CARD CHECKS

  1. Policy:
    1. Inmate ID cards should be checked by deputies at each meal serving.
  2. Rationale:
    1. An inmate ID card provides little to no purpose if the card is damaged and cannot clearly identify the intended inmate.
