86 GENERAL
87
88 Policy:
89
90 Inmates shall receive an orientation to the rules of the facility. Each inmate shall receive a copy of the rules via the inmate kiosk computer system.
91
92 The Inmate Orientation Packet shall be maintained (and updated with current policies and practices) as designated by the Corrections Chief Deputy.
93
94 The Inmate Orientation Packet shall include information concerning the seriousness of and/or range of actions which may be taken for various rule violations.
95
96 The Inmate Orientation Packet shall include relevant information for offered services and programs.
97
98 A Spanish version of the Inmate Orientation Packet is available on the inmate kiosk computer system.
99
100 Assistance to inmates who cannot read English or Spanish shall be facilitated by the Programming Unit on an individual basis. Translators (people, books, documents, or software) may be used to assist with this process.
101
102 Rationale:
103
104 Providing inmates rules governing their conduct is the most efficient and uniform means of ensuring that inmates receive fair notice of required and prohibited conduct.
105
106
107
108 HOUSEKEEPING
109
110 Policy:
111
112 Pretrial detainees may be allowed to work in the jail, but should not be assigned to work involuntarily. However, all inmates, including pretrial detainees, shall be required to perform general housekeeping duties such as cleaning their individual living areas.
113
114 Rationale:
115
116 Involuntary servitude is prohibited by the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, except as a punishment for convicted prisoners. Forcing a prisoner to work may be considered punishment for purposes of the Fourteenth Amendment. Since pretrial detainees have not been convicted, they cannot be punished. The prohibition against punishment includes involuntary jail work assignments. However, the courts have recognized that prisoners can be required to perform housekeeping functions such as cleaning their living area. Since prisoners cannot expect free housekeeping services in the free world, they should not expect such services while incarcerated in jail.
117
118
119
120 PERSONAL HYGIENE
121
122 Policy:
123
124 Staff shall encourage all inmates to participate in good personal hygiene practices in addition to the required personal hygiene practices. Inmates may have long hair, beards, and mustaches. However, if a management problem is created as a result of this, PCF may consider such problems in decisions involving the inmate's housing assignment, access to programs, job opportunities, and other matters.
125
126 Rationale:
127
128 Good personal hygiene practices help prevent the onset and spreading of illnesses.
129
130
131
132 ENFORCEMENT
133
134 Policy:
135
136
137 Staff shall require inmates to comply with the rules of PCF. Ignorance of posted rules shall not be a defense to disciplinary charges. Inmates are responsible to request clarification from staff on unclear instructions, orders, policies, procedures, rules, regulations, and other requirements of PCF.
138
139 Medical staff and non-certified staff shall not enforce rules. Instead, non-certified staff shall report rule violations to a certified officer.
140
141 Rationale:
142
143 Rules serve little purpose if inmates are not required to follow them.
