Holding cells in court facilities vary in construction, from a converted room to hardened reinforced concrete. Those cells that were not specifically designed and built for detention purposes should not be considered as hard detention areas. The supervision and observation of inmates housed in these temporary type facilities shall be such that the likelihood of an escape is reduced. A thorough daily inspection of temporary detention areas is mandatory.
Attention should be given to air-conditioning vents, screws, lighting fixtures, lavatory fixtures, etc. Should anything out of the ordinary be observed, the Branch Supervisor shall be notified immediately.
