PURPOSE OF ORDER:
The purpose of this order is to establish procedures for the cleaning and maintenance inspections of waist chains at Pitchess Detention Center (PDC) South Facility.
SCOPE OF ORDER:
This order applies to all personnel assigned to, and working at PDC South Facility.
ORDER:
PDC South Facility has a total of six (6) waist chains located at PDC South Facility main control (South David). Since PDC South Facility does not currently utilize the electronic Uniform Daily Activity Log (e-UDAL), the watch deputy and desk officer who are assigned to South David, for each shift, are responsible for documenting the waist chain inventory on the ERT Desk Inventory Log. This log is located in the following PDC South shared file: [REDACTED TEXT]
If a waist chain becomes defective or damaged, it shall be brought to the attention of South Facility operations and a request for a replacement shall be made.
Waist chain inventory and maintenance audits shall be part of the annual command inspections.
Waist chains shall be sanitized once per shift, and as soon as feasible after having been placed on inmates to prevent the transmission of communicable diseases (e.g., conjunctivitis, scabies, MRSA etc.) in accordance with the sanitation instructions.
After each waist chain has been sterilized, the cleaning shall be documented on the ERT Desk Inventory Log by the watch deputy.
Waist chains that have been placed on an inmate known to have been, or suspected of being, infected by a communicable disease shall be taken out of circulation and shall not be used on another inmate until they have been sanitized.
Personnel shall use the appropriate mixture of solution (CITRACIDE-2 oz. per one gallon of water) and thoroughly spray it onto the waist chains. The solution shall be allowed to air dry for approximately 10 minutes prior to the waist chains being put back into circulation.
