5-21-30 Education Based Incarceration



PURPOSE OF ORDER:

The purpose of this unit order is to establish guidelines and procedures to assure the proper movement of inmates attending Education Based Incarceration (EBI) classes at Century Regional Detention Facility (CRDF).

SCOPE OF ORDER:

This order shall apply to all personnel assigned to, or working at CRDF.

ORDER:

EBI is responsible for providing inmate educational programs in accordance with the Minimum Standards for Adult Local Detention Facilities, Title 15, section 1061, "Inmate Education Plan." Although inmates may be mandated by the courts to take specific classes such as domestic violence, parenting, or substance abuse, not every class is implemented or available at every facility. The scope of the educational programs shall be determined by the respective unit commander in coordination with the education site administrator.

All inmates are eligible for all classes, except those inmates determined by the Sheriff’s Department to be high risk or on disciplinary status. Inmates may not be precluded from attending classes solely based on a mental health diagnosis or prescription of medication.

To request enrollment into any of the programs or classes offered an inmate must complete an Education Based Incarceration Bureau program Request Form (SH-J-450).

The average number of inmates sent to the classroom is to be determined by EBI personnel.
