It is the goal of the Department to provide and maintain comfortable temperatures within all jail facilities.
If temperatures become uncomfortably hot or cold, immediate efforts shall be made to adjust the temperature to within a reasonable range. If temperatures cannot be returned to within a reasonable range, alternative measures shall be taken to compensate for the uncomfortable temperature (e.g. providing blankets, jackets, extra clothing, fans, showers, liquids, etc.). For security purposes, no portable heaters shall be provided.
It shall be the responsibility of the module/dorm officer to document the temperature of each housing area, at least once per day, in the electronic Uniform Daily Activity Log (e-UDAL).
It shall be the responsibility of the watch commander to notify the unit commander if temperatures cannot be returned to within a reasonable range.
