Pasadena Jail Annual Detention Review

The Los Angeles Field Office, Office of Detention and Removal conducted a detention review of the
b6, b7c
Pasadena City Jail on June 17,2005. This review was conducted by
. 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.
Review Summary:
Pasadena City Jail is a Jacility that only houses detainee for less than 48 hours. During their intake
screening there is no medical staff on duty. If the detainee is taking medication or seems to be sick
he is rejected and is taken to the hospital or to the custody of the Los Angeles County Sheriff.
During the intake if a detainee gives them any problem they are rejected from the facility. This is
also true for their Law Enforcement Staff. There is no food service staff that is present at this
facility. The detainees that are housed under the pay to stay program assist the jail staff to complete
the meals. The jail doesn't have a logbook for detainee visitors this is kept on the main floor in the
record area. This is the area in which all visitors are screened before entering the jail.

Review Findings:
The following infonnation summarizes those standards!!!!!. in compliance. Each standard is
identified and a short summary provided regarding standards or procedures not currently in
compliance.

Standards Summary Findings:
There are no medical staff on duty for any emergecnies. All though they have direct contact with the
Fire Department, in which they would send a Paramedic unti to evaluate the situation. There are no
poulation counts. The explanation that we received was a follows. "During our meals we account for
the detainees that are housed in the facility."This area was found as being deficient, being that there
is a lack of accountability.

RIC Observations:
~
The overall jail is an acceptable facility. There are some areas that need to have improvements. The
lack of accountability of supplies and no MSDS sheets available to staff and janitor staff. The
inspection of the foodservice area is done by the Health Department once a year and there is no
weekly inspection that is conducted by staff. They complete those meals and clean the area but there
is no documentation that an inspection ofthe machines was completed and any recommendations.
Pasadena jail has a program that they utilize that is called pay to stay. These detainees are people
that have committed low offenses and as part of their sentence have to pay to stay on jail.

RIC Issues and Concerns
There was a concern on the amount of significant incidents in the facility. It was explained that
Pasadena Jail doesn't allow anyone person that may cause problems or seem to cause a problem to
enter there facility. When asked about the events for the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl game, it was
explained that the Los Angeles County Sheriff stag in there parking lot and process those that have
caused problems. At no time are any of these brought into the Pasadena Jail but are taken to the
Men's Central Jail for processing.
Recommended Rating and Justification:
It is the Reviewer in Charge recommendation that the facility receive a rating of "Acceptable".

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