PURPOSE OF ORDER:

SCOPE OF ORDER:
This order applies to all personnel assigned to and/or working at the North County

ORDER:
Discipline Cells in Building [REDACTED TEXT]
For those inmates in discipline housing, shower days are Monday (AM shift), Wednesday (AM shift), Friday (PM shift), and Saturday (PM shift). Inmates who are at court and miss the scheduled showers shall be given an opportunity to shower upon their return from court.
Personnel assigned to any of the discipline dorms located within the [REDACTED TEXT] building shall print out a dorm roster to use as a shower log.
The names of those inmates who take a shower shall be highlighted on the shower log and the start and end times when the showers were given shall be documented on the first page. The duration of each individual shower in the [REDACTED TEXT] area is regulated by a preset timer system located inside max control. All other discipline dorm shower durations shall be regulated by personnel assigned to their respective staff station.
[REDACTED TEXT] building personnel shall place the shower logs in the “admin box” located in the watch sergeant’s office each day showers are provided. These shower logs shall be collected by operations personnel and shall be digitally scanned and archived. A link has been placed on building [REDACTED TEXT] web page located on the NCCF intranet site where these shower log archives can be accessed.
Shower activity for discipline inmates shall also be documented in the electronic Uniform Daily Activity Log (e-UDAL).
Non-Discipline Cells at Staff Stations [REDACTED TEXT], and [REDACTED TEXT]
All other staff stations in building [REDACTED TEXT] have a daily log of dayroom time attached to the staff station log. Inmates housed in dorms at those staff stations shall have access to the showers during dayroom time.
Shower activity in these areas shall be documented in the e-UDAL.
Inmates who refuse their shower time three times in a row, or whose personal hygiene has grossly deteriorated, shall be referred to the Jail Mental Evaluation Team (JMET) for an evaluation.
