hourly through direct visual observation of all people held this inspection. Of the cell checks reviewed,
and housed in the facility. some of the late checks did not include a
reason for being late. BSCC recommends
that a reason for the late check be
documented. Additionally, of the late checks
that included a reason for the lateness, many
revolved around computer functioning issues.
BSCC recommends that, since cell checks
are documented in the computer system, the
proper functioning of that system be
paramount. To verify safety checks are
completed when there are issues with the
computer system, compliance staff must
review the saved video, verifying adherence
to the regulation and policy.
☒ ☐ ☐
Depending on the housing area, two types of
checks may be completed: a Discipline check
and an observation check. The discipline
check is completed every thirty minutes for
those serving out their disciplinary sanction,
and the observation check is conducted
within 60 minutes of the previous observation
check. In housing areas containing persons
with severe mental health issues, observation
checks are conducted more frequently.
These housing units also have deputies who
have been trained in the proper management
of working with persons having mental health
issues.
Though there were some issues with
documenting the reasoning for some of the
late checks, my overall assessment, based
on my review and observing staff throughout
the inspection, is that they meet compliance
with this regulation.
