Personnel conducting inmate safety checks,
shall look at the inmates for signs of life (e.g.
breathing, talking, movement, etc.) and
obvious signs of distress (e.g. bleeding,
trauma, visible injury, choking, difficulty
breathing, discomfort, etc.).
Personnel shall conduct these checks by
looking into rooms/cells and by entering the
dormitories of inmate housing areas, visually
inspecting each inmate's entire body (not
solely observing a portion of an inmate's body
through a window or row of bunks), and
inspecting the general area. If personnel
observe any item (e.g. clothing, linen, towel,
papers, etc.) obstructing their view into the
cell or dormitory, the item(s) shall be removed
immediately, with officer and inmate safety in
mind. Should there be any doubt regarding an
inmate’s condition, staff shall attempt to elicit
a response from the inmate. If unable to elicit
a response from the inmate, a sergeant and

inspecting the general area. If personnel
observe any item (e.g. clothing, linen, towel,

immediately, with officer and inmate safety in
mind. Should there be any doubt regarding an

QUALITY OF INMATE SAFETY CHECKS
Personnel conducting inmate safety checks,
shall look at the inmates for signs of life (e.g.
breathing, talking, movement, etc.) and
obvious signs of distress (e.g. bleeding,
trauma, visible injury, choking, difficulty
breathing, discomfort, etc.).
Personnel shall conduct these checks by
looking into rooms/cells and by entering the
dormitories of inmate housing areas, visually
inspecting each inmate's entire body (not
solely observing a portion of an inmate's body
through a window or row of bunks), and
inspecting the general area. If personnel
observe any item (e.g. clothing, linen, towel,
papers, etc.) obstructing their view into the
cell or dormitory, the item(s) shall be removed
immediately, with officer and inmate safety in
mind. Should there be any doubt regarding an
inmate’s condition, staff shall attempt to elicit
a response from the inmate. If unable to elicit
a response from the inmate, a sergeant and
medical staff shall be requested. Personnel
shall continue to attempt to elicit a response
from the inmate (and, if necessary, render first

inmate safety checks are completed and
there are sufficient personnel to conduct the

place the inmate in a station sobering cell.
Inmates with other medical conditions noted
