The purpose of this policy is to establish guidelines for broadcasting music via televisions within Custody Division inmate housing areas.
The approved musical genres are Classical, Soft hits, Contemporary, Jazz, and Oldies. Each custody facility shall ensure they have at least one cable television channel programmed to a music channel which plays one of the approved musical genres.
Music shall be played during waking hours at least twice per day, for a minimum of six hours per day. Each housing location shall document the times the music is played in the electronic Uniform Daily Activity Log (e-UDAL). The music channel and times the music will be played will be left to the discretion of the custody facility.
Each Unit Commander will be responsible for issuing a unit order addressing how their respective facility will comply with this policy.
