7-03/010.48 Accepting Inmates from Medical Facilities


7-03/010.47 Non-Ambulatory Inmates
7-03/010.50 Mental Observations (5150 WIC)

In situations where the transporting Deputy does not know the medical status or condition of an inmate, and/or when in the Deputy's opinion it is unwise to place an inmate in general population due to an infection or the possibility of aggravating an injury, the following procedures shall be followed:

  • Inmates in this category shall be segregated and transported separately in a bus cage compartment. Only inmates in this category shall sit together.
  • Proper hygiene shall be observed during and after each contact with inmates transported in this manner.
  • Receiving deputies must be advised of the special medical handling status of these inmates.

On occasion, there may be more inmates than compartment space. In this event, inmates of this status shall be transported to court as a last priority, on a space available basis, unless they are in trial. If there is insufficient space on the regular court bus, the court shall be notified of the late arrival of the inmate.

Legal restrictions prevent the release of information needed to tailor the transportation mode for each sick or injured inmate; therefore, Deputies shall treat all medical inmates with a reasonable level of caution and segregation.
