	50	1. WCSO: Washington County Sheriff's Office
	51	1. PCF: Purgatory Correctional Facility
	52
3.1	53	CC 06_102 __GENERAL__
1.1	54
	55	1. Policy:
	56	11. The perimeter of PCF should ensure that:
3.1	57	111. Access is denied without proper authorization; and
	58	111. Detainees and inmates remain within.
1.1	59	1. Rationale:
	60	11. Without controlling the facility's perimeter, it would be difficult to manage the facility's security.
	61
3.1	62	CC 06_103 __PERIMETER CHECKS__
1.1	63
	64	1. Policy:
	65	11. Jail personnel shall make routine and random perimeter checks.
	66	11. Perimeter checks should be completed by at least two deputies.
	67	11. Perimeter checks should be completed by armed deputies.
	68	1. Rationale:
	69	11. Perimeter checks allow jail staff to discover security vulnerabilities and maintenance needs.
	70
3.1	71	CC 06_104 __LIGHTING__
1.1	72
	73	1. Policy:
	74	11. PCF should have perimeter lighting which illuminates the exterior and surrounding approaches to the jail.
	75	1. Rationale:
	76	11. Perimeter lighting prevents persons from approaching the facility under cover of darkness.
	77
1.2	78	CC 06_106 __EXTERNAL BARRIERS__
1.1	79
	80	1. Policy:
	81	11. PCF should have perimeter barriers which protect the area surrounding the jail. Barriers can include fencing, walls, landscaping, other structures, and signs which:
	82	111. Prevent or reduce access to restricted areas; and
	83	111. Route vehicle and pedestrian traffic away from restricted areas.
	84	1. Rationale:
	85	11. Barriers function to prevent persons from having unrestricted access to vulnerable or other sensitive areas.
	86	11. Most persons will be deterred by signs, landscaping, and other soft barriers. Persons entering an area set apart by soft barriers may be detected as obviously out of bounds and subject to an immediate investigative response.
	87	11. Persons who are determined may be deterred by more formidable barriers and security.
