FROM:

Reviewer In Charge
SUBJECT:

Orleans Parish Prison Annual Detention Review

The New Orleans Field Office, Office of Detention and Removal conducted a detention review of
the Orleans Parish Prison on January 4-5, 2006. This review was conducted by (b)(6), (b)(7)c
This facility is used for detainees requiring housing less than 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. The last review of this
facility was conducted in approximately March, 2005.
Review Summary:
The facility is accredited by the National Commission for Correctional Health Care (NCCHC), and
the Louisiana Jail Standards Association. It was last inspected and accredited in the Spring of2005.
The exact date is unknown at this time, as those records are unobtainable due to Hurricane Katrina.
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:
Environmental Health and Safety:
•

The new main storeroom for cleaning supplies did not have a running count (i.e. what was at that moment on
hand) of its chemical stocks when first encount~red.

./

This was mentioned to Warden Pittman of ROD where the room is located, and by the second day this system
was in place. The emphasis was on getting their stocks up and operational, which was recently completed, and
when this failing was noted, it was corrected immediately. This practice is in place in the various janitorial
rooms from which chemicals are issued out for cleaning.

Telephone Access:
•

Although detainees are infornied of the right to contact their consulates, and this information is relayed to them,
there are not currently any consular lists posted in the dormitory areas for the detainees. The old lists are
unobtainable, since the CCC building and the Conchetta (female) buildings are undergoing large-scale recovery
work to hopefully make them habitable again.

./

The ICE Field Office in New Orleans was made aware of this issue and it is being corrected.

RIC Observations:
STAFF: The staffwas extremely professional and dedicated. They were well-versed in procedures
and very courteous. All members of the facility were extremely open, and I was given unlimited
access. I observed that the staffwas extremely security- conscious, and paid particular attention to
detail. The centralized booking process (which was not used before by ICE) worked very well and
maintains a high degree of accuracy as well as efficiency. Logs on various posts were wellmaintained and fairly detailed.
COMMUNICATION: There were no significant concerns or issues as a result of the review. It is
apparent that excellent oversight and assistance was given to the Orleans Parish Criminal Sheriff's
Office in becoming fully operational to ICE standards. This is remarkable in that although the
standards and the jail Policy and Procedures are very similar, very few individuals at the jail have
worked with ICE or its detainees before.

RIC Issues and Concerns
None

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.

Comments:
Orleans Parish Prison (OPP) is conducting scaled down operations as it recovers in the wake of Hurricane
Katrina. It is operating with only 2 facilities, the House of Detention (HOD), and Templeman Phase 5 (TP-5) Although in the
past OPP was so large that each facility merited an independent inspection of each facility, at this time I felt that HOD and TP-5
had to be considered one jail for our purposes, as they share a lot of departments upon which they depend on each other. There
are no statistics yet for the final quarter of the last calendar year, as the jail has focused on just the monumental task of becoming
operational again. All statistics listed are for HOD only, as they are 1) the only records accessible, and 2) TP-5 is brand-new,
never having been used before. A note on the high number of 4/5 point restraints used: Pre- Katrina, HOD was primarily where
all of the jail's Psych cases were kept, so that must be taken into account.
There is no Food Service operation, as it completely flooded, so most of Food Service is N/A. 3 meals per day are being
catered from a local restaurant in thermal containers. There is no maintenance division to speak of. The Maintenaince building
was first flooded by 6 feet of water, and then burned to the ground. The main medical clinic flooded completely. A very good
medical operation is on hand through the main clinic now located in HOD, with a satellite clinic in TP-5. All ICE-related
records and material to be posted on detainee floors is still located in the CCC building, which is not currently safe to enter. The
New Orleans Field office ~ be providing PCS phone instructi9l1§}and contact numbers for consulates to the facilities for
posting. OPP is currently looking for a Pest control service. Formerly DA Pest Control and Orkin had contracts pre- Katrina in
which they operated on an alternating month basis with each other. Indeed, both contracts are still in place, but neither has been
able to fulfill them yet. That said, Orkin did do a free top- to bottom thorough pest eradication of the two operable facilities
within the jail soon after they reopened.
The jail is doing an extremely good job of providing basic necessities, following procedures and maintaining a secure
environment. I received nothing short of total cooperation during my visit. I recommend, given the conditions in place, that
OPP be rated Acceptable for ~se under 72 hOUrs. Perhaps in 6 to 12 months it could be revisited for use as an over 72 hour
facility if needed.
