INSPECTION RESULTS We identified the following items of noncompliance with Title 15 Minimum Standards: Title 15 § 1065. Exercise and Out of Cell Time (1) an opportunity for three hours of exercise and (2) an opportunity for seven hours of recreation. Policies shall include reasonable and necessary procedures to ensure safety and security. The facility administrator has written policy for the required 10 hours of out of cell time, but the current documentation of the time spent out of the cells does not consistently reflect or record the requirement. Therefore, records of exercise and recreation could not be used to verify compliance with this section. Additionally, policies do not clearly ensure that exercise and out of cell time are taking place in a safe and secure process. Refer to the Physical Plant Evaluation and Living Area Space Evaluation attachments for information related to Rated Capacity and Title 24 compliance.
