Contraband - Deficient
All detention facilities will ensure the proper handling and disposal of all contraband.
Documentation of contraband destruction is required.
•

Pasadena City Jail does not have written policy or procedures for the handling of illegal
contraband.

Recommendations
Develop a standard policy for the handling of contraband that clearly includes the specific ICE
requirements for handling illegal contraband. Additionally, staff should receive continued
training related to the handling of contraband.
RIC Issues and Concerns
Grievance Policy
Due to the short stay of 8-1 0 hours by detainees at the Pasadena City Jail, the grievance policy
meets the intent ofthe standard. In order to enhance this program, it is recommended provisions
are established for emergency grievances and a method to ensure staff can identify such
grievances. It is also recommended the facility establish a record of grievances that include a
monthly entry if no grievances are filed. Additionally, any grievance that includes officer
misconduct should be referred to a higher official/ICE.
Recommended Rating and Justification
It is the Reviewer-in-Charge (RIC) recommendation that the facility receive a rating of
"Acceptable." It is recommended that a Plan of Action be required to identify and implement
necessary corrective actions.

RIC Assurance Statement
All findings of this review have been documented on the Detention Review Worksheet and are
supported by the written documentation contained in the review file.

There is no mention of clothing or
bedding; when medical exams will
be conducted; telephone use
except in relations to initial calls;
facility search procedures; and the
contraband policy. It does
sufficiently address the visiting
policy.

D

There is nothing in the "Jail

D REPEAT FINDING

REMARKS:

Pasadena City Jail has developed a site-specific detainee handbook to serve as an overview of, and guide to, the detention policies, rules,
and procedures in effect at the facility. The Jail Orientation consists of very basic information on inmate rights to phone calls, bail
reduction, access to reading materials or TV, visitation, female rights to pregnancy exam at their own expense, and personal hygiene for
female inmates and inmates held longer than 24 hours. It does not include the initial issue of clothing and bedding (this is addressed in
Title 15, Article 13, 1265 - Issue of Personal Care Items.); when medical examinations will be conducted (actually none are conducted.);
debit card procedures; location of telephones; policy when telephone demand is high or for emergency calls; the detainee message system;
facility search procedures; and the contraband policy.
