Standards Summary Findings:
Medical Care - Deficient
During last year review the reviewer noted that their was no trained medical personnel
within the jail, which resulted in a deficient rating. Monterey Park City Jail has several factors that
would mitigate the results of the facility. All detainees are pre-screened by (PHS) Public Health
Service while at the Santa Ana Staging facility. If a detainee is identified as needing medical care,
they are not sent to Monterey Park City Jail. All jail staff at Monterey Park City Jail are trained in
and maintain celiification for first aid and CPR in the event of an emergencies. There is a hospital
with an Emergency Room approximately a mile away, and the fire department / paramedics are
physically located in an adjoining building, immediately next door to the jail and can respond
rapidly.

RIC Observations:
BEST PRACTICE: The facility have developed a computer system that enables the jailer to view all
aspects of each inmate while incarcerated. When the June 6, 2007 inspection was performed, the
facility was empty of ICE detainees.

RIC Issues and Concerns
Upon receipt of the Incident Summary worksheet, the reviewer noted that there were no incidents in
any category during the year. This was discussed with the staff and it was determined that the
information was correct.

Recommended Rating and Justification:
It is the Reviewer in Charge recommendation that the facility receive a rating of "Acceptable". It is
the recommendation of the RIC that no plan of action is required and this review should be closed.

RIC Assurance Statement:
All findings ofthis review have been documented on Form G-324B and are supported by the written
documentation contained in the review file.

Policy: ICE will make all necessary notifications when a detainee is transferred. If a detainee is being
transferred via the Justice Prisoner Alien Transportation System (JPATS), ICE will adhere to JPATS
protocols. In deciding whether to transfer a detainee, ICE will take into consideration whether the detainee
is represented before the immigration court. In such cases, the Field Office Director will consider the
detainee's stage within the removal process, whether the detainee's attorney is located within reasonable
driving distance of the facility, and where the immigration court proceedings are taking place.
!

Components
When a detainee is represented by legal counselor a
legal representative, and a G-28 has been filed, the
representative of record is notified by the detainee's
Deportation Officer.
• The notification is recorded in the detainee's file
• When the A File is not available, notification is
noted within DACS
Notification includes the reason for the transfer and the
location of the new facility,
The deportation officer is allowed discretion regarding
the timing of the notification when extenuating
circumstances are involved.
The attorney and detainee are notified that it is their
responsibility to notify family members regarding a
transfer.
Facility policy mandates that:
• Times and transfer plans are never discussed

• The detainee is not notified of the transfer until
immediately prior to departing the facility.
The

•
phone calls or have contact with any detainee in
the general population.
The detainee is provided with a completed Detainee
Transfer Notification Form.

•

Form G-391 or equivalent authorizing the

For medical transfers:
• The Detainee Immigration Health Service (or
IGSA)(DIHS) Medical Director or designee
approves the transfer.
• Medical transfers are coordinated through the
local ICE office.
• A medical transfer summary is completed and
accompanies the detainee.
Detainees in ICE facilities having DIHS staff and
medical care are transferred with a completed transfer
summary sheet in a sealed envelope with the detainee's
name and A-number and the envelope is marked
Medical Confidential.
