2-11/000.25 Waivers


2-11/000.20 Release of Military Personnel
2-11/010.00 Personnel Duties for the In-Court Release Process

In-Court Release Waiver:

There may be times when a person who is eligible for In-Court release, who needs to return to IRC/CRDF due to extenuating circumstances such as: extreme weather conditions, extended distance from the court to IRC/CRDF, no other means of transportation available, or those who choose to participate in the Voluntary Delayed Release process for various other reasons.

Lockup deputies will still need to obtain the approval from the IRC Document Control Clerk for inmates that fall under CSDM, 2-11/000.15 - Green Band Procedures. If the clerk disapproves the “Green Band” return, the IRC/CRDF Records Lieutenant can overrule the clerk and authorize the return. The Records Lieutenant can be reached at (213) 473-6009, or if the Records Lieutenant is unavailable (after 1600 hours or Fridays), contact IRC at (213) 893-5303, to authorize the “Green Band” return.

Complete all of the “GREEN BAND” release procedures as listed, except:

  • DO NOT put the inmate in temporary white jail clothing
  • DO NOT remove the inmate’s wrist band

Have all release inmates read and sign the “IRC Written Expressed Consent to Remain in Custody” waiver form (CSDNet forms) acknowledging that they are giving up their right to be released from the court lockup, or refusing this service and want to be released from the court lockup.

This form shall be signed by each inmate being released.

  • If the inmate wants to be released at the court lockup and qualifies, place an “X” next to “Refused Services”, and the inmate will need to sign the inmate signature line, date, and time line.
  • If the inmate chooses to participate in the Voluntary Delayed Release process, place an X next to the corresponding reason that the inmate is choosing to remain in custody, and the inmate will need to sign the inmate signature line, date and time line.

Once a “green band” has been placed on an inmate, the inmate shall not be returned into a general population cell.

Transportation and Release Waiver:

If the inmate does not have a means of transportation, such as someone enroot, relatives waiting in the courthouse, etc., then bus token(s), if applicable to the area, shall be offered to the released person. If a token(s) is provided, it shall be indicated on the Transportation Waiver and Release Agreement Form (copy attached) and logged on the Bus Token Control Log (copy attached).

Ask if the released person is an “Insulin Dependent Diabetic.” If yes, obtain the inmate’s signature on the Transportation Waiver and Release Agreement Form.

If available, Transportation Vouchers can be issued for inmates having special needs, (i.e., difficulty walking, pregnancy, an insulin dependent diabetic, etc.). The issuance of Transportation Vouchers will be determined by the Branch Supervisor.
