Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 38, September 20, 2024
(a)
Incarcerated person count. Every institution head shall maintain a system to
account at all times for incarcerated persons under their jurisdiction. A
physical count of all incarcerated persons shall be taken at least four times
during each calendar day unless otherwise authorized in writing by the
director. No incarcerated person activity shall be scheduled at a time which
would disrupt a facility count.
(1) Standing
count. At least one daily count shall be a standing count wherein incarcerated
persons shall stand at their cell door or, in a dormitory, shall sit on their
assigned bed during the designated count time.
(2) Emergency count. If staff determines an
incarcerated person may be missing, an emergency count shall be conducted to
determine whether an escape has occurred and, if so, the identity of the
escapee. When an emergency count is announced, incarcerated persons shall
return to their assigned housing, except in a medical emergency or other
exception specifically authorized by the official in
charge.
(b) Incarcerated
person movement. Each facility shall establish a schedule of routine
incarcerated person movement to and from the facility's activities and
assignments such as work and education, and the gym or exercise yard.
(1) Appointments. A CDCR Form 129 (Rev.
07/24), Incarcerated Person Pass, shall be issued to an incarcerated person
approved for movement to a scheduled non-routine appointment. Medical service
and case work appointments shall not be scheduled during an incarcerated
person's work or program hours unless an incarcerated person cannot otherwise
obtain the service or case work.
(2) Unscheduled movement. If unscheduled
movement of an incarcerated person is necessary, such movement shall not take
place unless the incarcerated person is escorted by staff, or a pass has been
issued by staff authorizing the movement.
(3) Routine movement. A gate pass shall be
maintained for each incarcerated person assigned to work outside a facility's
security area. The gate pass shall:
(A) Not be
handled by any incarcerated person.
(B) Include the incarcerated person's
identification photo, name, CDCR number, housing assignment, custody
designation, assignment requiring the gate pass, effective date of the pass,
times the incarcerated person is authorized to pass through the gate, and the
signature of a facility official authorized to approve gate passes.
(C) Be rescinded by staff at the level of
correctional lieutenant or higher, pending a classification committee review
whenever:
1. A hold or detainer against an
incarcerated person's release, or notice thereof, is received by the
facility.
2. Staff determines from
the incarcerated person's behavior that the incarcerated person may require
increased supervision.
3. Staff
receives information indicating an incarcerated person's increased escape
potential.
(c) Lockdown or Modified Program. Facility
procedures governing the restriction of incarcerated person movement during a
lockdown or modified program shall be established and updated daily during any
lockdown or modified program.
(d)
Limited visibility. When visibility at a facility is severely restricted or a
state of emergency is declared, incarcerated persons shall be confined to their
housing units, except as otherwise authorized by the official in charge. In
such circumstances, all incarcerated person movement shall be under the direct
and constant supervision of staff.
