It is the responsibility of the Transportation Bureau crew to obtain a lunch for each inmate being transported to court on their vehicle prior to lunch time. Bus crews should check each morning to ensure there are sufficient lunches for all inmates plus additional lunches for anticipated new bookings received at court.
Lunches will be loaded on each bus by trusties during morning courtline. If there are no lunches on the bus or if the amount of lunches is insufficient, the Watch Deputy is to be notified. The Watch Deputy will call Men's Central Jail Kitchen, at (213) 974-0130 and request the required number of lunches. If the lunches are not available prior to departure, Men's Central Jail Kitchen will be instructed to deliver the lunches to the loading dock no later than 1045 hours, for delivery to the court on the noontime bus.
Inmates will not eat on buses. They will eat either at their custody facility or at the court lockup.
