During facility emergencies or lockdowns, the concerned facility watch commander shall notify the Inmate Reception Center watch commander if inmate transfer lines may be interrupted. Every facility shall develop a plan to facilitate inmate transfers during lockdown situations which do not constitute an Inmate Transfer Emergency, and include this notification in its Emergency/Evacuation Plans. During Inmate Transfer Emergencies, other facilities may be required to receive, and temporarily house, inmate transfer lines that are in progress. This activity shall be coordinated by the Inmate Reception Center.
The Inmate Reception Center watch commander may authorize Pitchess Detention Center Facilities to transfer male inmates among the other P.D.C. facilities to temporarily resolve disturbances, provided that classification security levels are housed appropriately. The Inmate Reception Center Classification Unit shall be notified immediately after such transfers are completed. Pitchess Detention Center facilities, with mutual agreement, may transfer inmates among Ranch facilities for disciplinary housing (provided that classification security levels are housed appropriately) without intervention or the approval of the Inmate Reception Center.
Facilities shall not cancel inmate transfer lines. Any cancellations shall be made by the Inmate Reception Center Classification Lieutenant or the watch commander of the Inmate Reception Center.
Facilities shall administer discipline for acts which occur at that facility. If discipline related transfers are deemed necessary by the facility watch commander, all Inmate Incident Reports shall accompany the inmate(s) to the receiving facility to administer discipline.
