Immigration and Customs Enforcement August 23,2004 MEMORANDUM FOR: FROM: Victor X. Cerda Acting Director Headquarters Detention and Removal Operations b6, b7c Reviewer In Charge Los Angeles Detention and Removal Operations SUBJECT: Review Summary Report, Ventura County Jail The Los Angeles Office of Detention and Removal Operations performed a review of the Ventura County Jail on August 17 - 18,2004. This review was performed under the supervision of b6, b7c Reviewer-In-Charge, Team members consisted of officers assigned from the Los Angeles Office of Detention and Removal Operations. The review measured compliance with the ICE Detention Standards. No other special assessments were performed or requested at this time. Attached to this memorandum is a copy of the original Form G-324B Detention Review Forms. All worksheets and working papers are maintained in the appropriate file system and are available for review by the Review Authority. Type of Review: This review was a routine scheduled assessment and was conducted for the sole purpose of detennining overall compliance with the ICE Detention Standards. Not including the Reviewer in Charge, the team members were , Officer in Charge, Ventura Sub-Office, b6, b7c . b6, b7c b6, b7c Deportation Officer, Los Angeles District Office, and Immigration b6, b7c Enforcement Agent, San Pedro Service Processing Center. Review Summary: The following review summarizes only those standards not in full compliance. Each Standard is identified and a short summary is provided regarding standards or procedures not currently in compliance. In some instances, it appears that the facility meets the standard but is required to review its operating procedures to comply with language contained in ilie ICE Detention Standards. These are considered to be rare instances that do not affect the daily operation or will have an insignificant affect on how the facility is operated. There were 26 acceptable standards and 0 deficient standard. The facility meets the standard but is being requested to review its operating procedures to comply with the language contained in the INS Detention Standard in two areas. The two recommendations are: (1) discontinue the use of "meat loaf' as a substitute for regular fare when detainees violate facility rules related to food, (2) ensure detainees are processed within 12 hours of being placed in a hold room. The vast majority of the time, incoming detainees are processed within the 12 hour period, but occasional violations of this standard has occurred during long weekends, and when judges complete court late on Fridays. Overall, the Review indicated substantial compliance with the ICE Detention Standards. The staffwe encountered was courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. They were acceptable and open to recommendations for changes to their facility. Constraints of difficulties experienced during the review: During the review, no constraints or abnormal difficulties were encountered. Staff and detainees were cooperative and available to assist reviewers or to answer questions posed by the team. At Risk or Repeat Findings: None of the ICE detention standards were found to be at risk during the inspection of this facility although the "meat loaf' is now only substituted for the regular fare when detainees violate regulations related to food. On the previous review, "meat loaf' was generally used as punishment. Pending Lawsuits: There is a current pending lawsuit regarding strip-searches of pre-arraigned inmates. The facility conducts a thorough pat-down then a complete garment change for incoming prisoners while this lawsuit is pending. Recommended Rating and Justification: The result ofa careful evaluation and review of the procedures and operation of the facility reflects their ability to provide for the proper and humane care of ICE detainees within the guidelines of the ICE Detention Standards. The detention functions are being adequately performed. The deficiencies that exist do not detract from the acceptable accomplishment ofthe vital functions. Internal controls are such that there are no perfonnance breakdowns that would keep the program from continuing to accomplish its mission. As a whole, the documentation viewed supports the notion that the facility should be rated as acceptable. RIC Assurance Statement: It is the opinion of the Reviewer In Charge that the findings of compliance and non-compliance are documented on the G-324B Inspection Fonn and that it is supported by documentation in the review file. _ ......,ADQUARTERS EXECUTIVE REVIEW (. .', , The signature below constitutes review of this report and acceptance by the Review Authority, OIC/CEO will have a(j' ~ from receipt of this report to respond to all findings and recommendations.
