SUBJECT:
2006 Annual Detention Review
The Detroit Field Office, Office of Detention and Removal have conducted a detention review of the
Kent County Jail on 2/26/2006 through 2/27/2006. This review was conducted by (b)(6), (b)(7)c
This facility is used for detainees requiring housing over 72 hours.
Type of Review: This review is a scheduled Operational Review to determine general compliance
with established Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) National Detention Standards.
Review Summary: While conducting my yearly inspection of the Kent County Jail, I found that
facility have complied with all State and government regulations.
Review Findings: The following information summarizes those standards that are in compliance.
Each standard is identified and a short summary is provided regarding standards or procedures not
currently in compliance.
Compliant: I found that Kent County Jail meets all requirements to house ICE detainees. This
writer has found no other complaints at this juncture.
At-Risk: The only area that could be considered at risk during this inspection is the section dealing
with case officers meeting with individual detainees. Some detainees have been held at this facility
over two weeks and have not had a chance to see their respective case officer, or provide information
on the status of their case.
Subject: Detention RevieAmmary Report

•
Standards Summary Findings: All Prisoners are made aware of their rights and are given a copy of
the policies of the Kent County Jail. Kent County Jail is attempting to comply with all ofICE
detention standards.
RIC Observations: During my walk through of this Jail, Lt. Singleton assisted greatly. Any
questions that needed answering, he was there to give a positive response. The facility is very clean
and orderly.
RIC Issues and Concerns: I feel that the detainees that are apprehended and housed here at this
facility need to speak with an ICE Deportation Officer as soon as possible because these detainees
are not always moved within a week or two. Some detainees have been held at this County Jail in
excess of 3 0 days without knowing the status of their cases.
Recommended Rating and Justification: This writer recommends that this facility receive a rating
of ACCEPTABLE/ PASSING of the 2006 rating of the Kent County Jail.
RIC Assurance Statement: All findings of this review have been documented on Form G-324A
and are supported by the written documentation contained in the review file.

Comments:
Due to the fines ofthe Kent County Jail, everything is passing, except that they're emergency plan is not posted, for
the prisoner (s). But after talking to the jail, I agree with the jail that it should not be posted for the detainees, as long as there is staff to
assist with the evaculation of the prisoners, but over all I am passing this jail. due to reason and purpose for security. This jail is clean
and all staff is knowlegable in the running of this jail, well trained in all aspects of the jail. theres a few things that should be
corrected in due time, this will be a well running jail. But the administration has been brought abreast to the things the has to be fix, by
the next inspection.
