Recommendations

•

Data the facility supplied on the SIS form indicates a spike in the number of detainee grievances. The
Facility Administrator reports a significant number of grievances occurred as a group of non-ICE
detainees were transferred into the facility. It is recommended this information be monitored for possible
trends.

b2High

It is recommended that policy for "Terminal Illness, Advanced Directives and Death" be reviewed and
revised before the next annual inspection to include procedures for notification to ICE in the event or a
new DNR order, detainee death, detainee desire to have his/her attorney draft DNR orders, newly
discovered terminal illness.
The CfDF has not housed "over 72 hour" ICE detainees since November of 2008. The facility maintains
its physical plant, policy and procedure, and all related services in an inspection ready fashion. Staff
cooperation was high caliber.

Best Practices
The detainee orientation program should be considered as a «best practice". This program is well
organized, pertinent, and effective at relating necessary information to the incoming detainee population.

Recommended Rating and .Tustificatioll:

•

The Lead Compliance Inspector recommends that the facility receive a rating of "Acceptable."

O>mments:
Central Texas Detention Facility demonstrates compliance with all applicable National Detention Standards as evidenced by
physical plant tour, working papers, and review documents. It should be noted that, absent over-night housing arrangements,
there has not been an ICE detainee population at the facility since November of 2008. The physical plant is maintained in good
repair; it is clean; staff morale is excellent; (U.S. Marshal Service) detainee mood is appropriate; and policy 1procedure is (with
few exceptions) current and effective. This appears to be a well managed facility that has high standards of operation.
There were 5 attempted suicides by Non-ICE detainees who either cut themselves or tied a sheet around their neck with no serious
injuries.
There was one successful suicide by hanging by a Non-ICE female detainee on April 8, 2009. The incident was reviewed and
staff followed proper procedures.
During the inspection there was a suicide by hanging by a Non-ICE female. The incident is still under investigation.
•

There was a death of a Non-ICE male detainee who died of cardiac disease on November 10, 2008
