Type of Review:

Review Summary:
While conducting my yearly inspection of the Momoe County Jail (Dormitory), there was a
minimum of deficiencies noted. No standard was found to be deficient.
Review Findings:
The following information summarizes those standards not in compliance. Each standard is
identified and a short summary provided regarding standards or procedures not currently in
compliance.
Standards Summary Findings:
All Applicable standards are in compliance.

RIC Observations:
Asst. Jail Administrator Higham relayed to me that the facility stresses communication between the
detamees and her staff. Apparently this is working at this facility. Officers 'seem to have a good

rapport with the detainees and there seems to be a decent amount of mutual respect between the two
groups at this facility. The facility is always kept very clean and the atmosphere inside this facility
seems to fit the mold of a college dormitory than an actual jail. If and when a problem arises at this
facility the individual is moved out of the unit to a holding cell where they await a meeting with the
Detroit DRO Staff.

There are no issues or concerns at this time
