PURPOSE OF ORDER:

The purpose of this order is to establish procedures for inmates utilizing hair salon services at the Century Regional Detention Facility (CRDF) and to specify disinfecting procedures for tools used for hair care services.

SCOPE OF ORDER: 

This order shall apply to all personnel assigned to and/or working in any capacity at CRDF.

ORDER:

Hair care services shall be made available to inmates housed at CRDF with the exception of inmates on discipline, and inmates with documented incidents of misconduct within the last ninety (90) days.  Services include shampoo and basic haircuts.  Services such as blow drying and hair braiding may be done if time permits.

Any disruptive behavior in the hair salon will be cause for immediate termination of services.

The hair salon staff member shall supervise inmates in the hair salon at all times.  The hair salon shall remain secure at all times when custody personnel are not present.

The hair salon shall open after count clears, at approximately 0700 hours, and will conclude at approximately 1330 hours, Monday through Friday.

Module Procedures

Module personnel shall provide all inmates the opportunity to request hair care services.  The hair salon staff member shall provide each module officer with an inmate haircut sign-up list every Friday.  A maximum of twenty (20) inmates per module may be eligible for hair care services.  If time permits, more inmates may utilize these services.  The sign-up lists will be collected every Monday by the hair salon staff member, and the identified inmates shall be escorted to the hair salon.  Module personnel shall document inmates who received hair salon services in the e-UDAL.

Mental Health Observation Units

Mobile units may be deployed to the mental health observation units when space permits.  Services provided will include shampoo and haircut.  Inmates housed in these units may request additional services; however, the module deputy, in consultation with the mental health clinician, shall evaluate each situation on a case-by-case basis.  Mental health inmates may be escorted to the CRDF hair salon if, and when, the mobile units are not being utilized due to present circumstances (e.g., quarantine modules, lack of space, etc.).

Administrative Segregation Unit

One day per month, inmates housed in [REDACTED TEXT] will have the opportunity to receive basic hair care services at the CRDF hair salon.  Services provided include shampoo, haircuts, and time permitting, a simple blow-dry.  No additional services shall be provided.

Inmates with documented incidents of misconduct or violations of jail rules within the last ninety (90) days before any service will not be eligible to receive basic hair services at the CRDF hair salon.  These inmates may request hair clippers from module personnel that can be used during their program time.  At the end of their program time, the inmate shall return the hair clippers to module personnel.  Module personnel shall return the hair clippers to the floor control. 

All eligible [REDACTED TEXT] inmates shall be handcuffed while in their cells through the tray slot before exiting their cells.  The escorting deputy shall search the inmate before escorting the inmate to the hair salon.  A sergeant or a supervising line deputy shall be present while the inmate is in the hair salon.  Upon returning to their housing location, the escorting deputy shall once again search the inmate for contraband.

The escorting deputy shall remove the handcuffs through the tray slot once the inmate is inside of their cell.  All policies and procedures SHALL be adhered to when handling, escorting, or supervising any inmates classified as [REDACTED TEXT] to and from the CRDF hair salon.

Any disruptive behavior in the salon will result in immediate termination of services. 

Custody personnel shall not accommodate hair services for inmates attending court or in the process of being released.
