Housing assignments are based on classification-level.
A detainee's classification-level does not affect hislher recreation
opportunities. Detainees recreate with persons of similar classification

Detainee work assignments are based upon classification designations.
The classification process includes reassessment/reclassification. At

Procedures exist for a detainee to appeal their classification assignment
Only a designated supervisor or classification specialist has the authority
to reduce a classification-level on appeal.
Classification appeals are resolved within five business days and
detainees are notified of the outcome within 10 business days.
Classification designations may be appealed to a higher authority, such

REMARKS:

The Dodge County Detention Facility has a contract with Aramark Corporation to provide meals to the detainees/inmate population. The
contractor is providing nutritionally adequate and appetizing meals, prepared in a sanitary environment. Due to their minimal length of
confinement, there are no ICE detainee.s currently assigned to the Food Service department. The Food Service Director did not have a copy
of the ICE "Food Service" standards, therefore a copy was provided. None of the staff had received any training regarding detainee-related
issues. All knives being used in Food Service are secured to the workstation as required. The knives are not cabled through the steel shank
as required. Food Service staffis not providing individual training on pieces of equipment or hazardous materials as required. Food
Service did not have a complete nutritional analysis available for review. This facility does not have a Common Fare.program in place to

of the ceremonial meals for the following calendar year. The satellite-feeding program does not consistently adhere to proper sanitation
guidelines. Approximately 46 out of 163 food trays were found to be crocked, which allows water and food residue to enter inside the tray.
It was noted that numerous colored food trays needed to be de-stained or replaced.

in and is familiar with the safety and sanitation requirements of the jurisdiction should be appointed to conduct monthly inspections. It is
recommended the current fire plan be revised to meet the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) regulations to include monthly fire
drill information. Dodge County Detention Facility ensures protection oflife and includes the use of fire detection/alarm systems in all
areas of the facility. Applicable codes are applied to all areas of the facility and conform to applicable federal, state, and/or local fire safety
