San Diego Correctional Facility Review Summary Report

Detainee Classification SYstem - Repeat Deficiency
• . The facility inconsistently conducts classification of detainees upon arrival
• Reclassification between 45 and 60 days after arrival is inconsistently conducted
• NCIC printouts are not used to classify detainees
• Fonn 1-213 is inconsistently used to classify detainees
The team reviewed approximately seventy-five detainee detention files in determining that a
systemic problem existed with classification at this facility. Files reviewed contained classification
forms that were not completed, and others that were prepared incorrectly. The computer system
used within processing inappropriately dates the classification form. Dates on the classification
forms are not consistent with the actual date in which classification was conducted upon detainee
arrival.
Staff-Detainee Communications Standard-Repeat Deficiency
•
•
•
•

Staff conduct scheduled visits to the housing units to view living conditions
Schedules of officer visits are posted within the housing units
Detainee request form receipt and response activity is effectively logged
Copies of detainee requests are not maintained

ICE does not maintain copies of responses to detainee request forms consistent with the file and
maintenance component of the Standard. The team tracked twenty detainee request forms that had
been logged in and responded to in order to verify if copies were placed within the detainee
detention files. This review resulted in a systemic problem being identified. ICE does not maintain
copies ofrequest forms within the detainee detention files.
Significant Observations
Access to Telepbones
The facility recently re located the housing unit television sets approximately twenty-five feet away
from the telephone carousel area_ This Standard was found deficient during the 2004 review, due to
the location of the television set and the volume impeding, and not allowing a reasonable degree of
privacy during telephone use. Interview of approximately twenty-five detainees in two randomly
selected units during this review revealed that detainees were satisfied with corrective action taken
by the facility and advised that telephone privacy has improved with the television volume not
interfering. Unit managers advised that detainees are further allowed a degree of privacy and are
allowed to use the office telephone with supervision if requested.

Significant Observations
Staff Appearance - Significant Observation
ICE and contract security staff presented a neat appearance. Officers were well groomed; uniforms
and equipment were maintained neatly. Escorting officers remained cognizant and directed
detainees professionally during escorts. Searches ofpersonneI entering and exiting the facility at the
front entrance were conducted thoroughly. Identification documents were also verified.
Food Service - Best Practice
Food Service was observed during food preparation and mea) delivery. During food preparation,
workers continuously maintained safety by mopping up food and water spills to prevent injury.
Workers wore bairnets and gloves while handling food items. Hidden areas behind ovens and the
dishwasher were well painted and clean. Hidden areas within dry and freezer storage, six inches
above ground were very clean and well painted. Food temperatures were taken within the kitchen
and after delivery to the housing units and were in compliance. This kitchen is under the supervision
of a well-experienced Food Service Administrator. The hard work and dedication of the entire Food
Service crew has demonstrated their ability to have this area recognized as a "Best Practice" during
this review.
Tool Control-Best Practice
Tool control was clean and well organized with shadow boards to identify tool locations. Tool
issuance includes the use ofa plastic chit with the photograph ofthe employee using the tool for
visual reference and tracking. Weekly departmental inventories are conducted for accountability
purposes and logs are effectively maintained for tracking tools in the event of an emergent situation.
The tool room is under the guidance of a very knowledgeable supervisor and well-experienced crew
whose hard work and dedication allowed this area to be recognized as a "Best Practice" during this
review.
Detainee Request Tracking Log-Best Practice
The facility has created a local program for tracking detainee request forms. This log was created
with the parameters set forth in the Staff-Detainee Communications Standards and is capable of
tracking incoming and outgoing detainee request activity. The program can be used to produce
reports by date and nationality. This program was recognized as a "Best Practice" during this
review.

RIC Observations
The Officer In Charge, Warden and staff were very supportive during the review. Staff encountered
during the review, clearly displayed professionalism illustrated by their leadership. This facility is
under very good management and bas excelled from the previous review in 2004.

Recommended Rating and JustificatiOg:
The Reviewer-In-Charge recommends a rating of "Good." The facility has made major
improvements since the 2004 review by correcting and minimizing the total number of deficiencies
and creating an effective tracking mechanism for detainee request activity. The facility complies
with 36-of-38 applicable ICE Detention Standards. The facility should respond to all findings and
initiate a Plan of Action in response to the deficiencies.

RIC Assurance Statement:

are supported by documentation in the review file.

The facilitY has a system for classifying detainees. In
CDFs and IGSAs, an Objective Classification System
or similar Is used.
The facility classification systam includes:
• Classifying detainees upon arrival.
Separating individuals who cannot be classified
upon arrival from the general population.
• The first-line supervisor or deSignated
classification specialist reviewing every
classification decision.
The intake/processing officer reviews work-folders, Afdes etc. to Identify and classify each new arrival.
Staff use only infonnation that is factual , and reliable to
detennine classification assignments. Opinions and
unsubstantiated! unconfinned reports may !)e filed but
are not used to score detainees classifications .
