7-03/080.15 Transportation of Inmates Requiring Segregation



The following procedures shall be followed when processing or transporting inmates requiring segregation:

  • Inmates requiring segregation, including homosexuals, shall be placed in a bus compartment either alone or with other inmates in the same category, whenever space is available.
  • Whenever an inmate requiring segregation is seated in the general population section of the bus, he shall be placed in the front row.  When this occurs, one Deputy shall maintain constant visual surveillance of the inmates. If necessary, when a line of inmates is to be escorted, request backup officers from the court lockup or custody facility. If appropriate, remove the segregated inmate from the general population section prior to escorting the line.
  • Inmates requiring segregation shall not be handcuffed to general population inmates or inmates not in their category.
  • When delivering inmates requiring segregation to a court lockup or any custody facility, the transporting Deputy shall verbally notify the Receiving Deputy of the inmate's status.
