Barbershop Operation #0014



PURPOSE OF ORDER:

To establish procedures for the operation of the Fire Camp Training Unit/PDC-East Facility inmate barbering services.

SCOPE OF ORDER:

This order shall apply to all personnel assigned to the Fire Camp Training Unit/PDC-East Facility.

ORDER: 

Barbering services are offered to all Fire Camp Training inmates five days a week on PM shift.  A skilled barber is not normally assigned to the Fire Camp Training Facility. Inmates are allowed to cut their own hair, or cut by one of the other inmates.  Two complete sets of barbering tools (clippers, blade guards, combs), with appropriate cleaning and sanitary supplies (brushes, drape, neck strips, spray, Mar-v-cide), are available to be checked out from the Fire Camp Training office (Barrack 20).

Barbering is done in the barracks, on the tile area in the bathroom.  All hair is to be immediately swept and disposed of.  All barbering tools are to be cleaned thoroughly and checked back in the Inmate Fire Training Facility office.

Barbering services are also offered at East Facility on weekends and holidays in the East Facility Barber Shop, time, and staff permitting.

All tools (Hair clippers, blades, guards, combs, etc.), shall be cleaned in the following manner:

  • All hair shall be removed from the tools with a brush.
  • The tools shall be rinsed with running water.
  • The tools shall be sprayed with Mar-v-cide (solution of two ounces diluted in one gallon of water) and allowed to air dry for a minimum of ten minutes.
  • When dry, tools shall be lubricated with appropriate lubrication to ensure proper operation.

Inmate Services personnel will coordinate the ordering of barber supplies between the facility, private vendors, and the Inmate Services Unit.  Inmate Services will be responsible for the supply inventory.  Barbers are classified as inmate workers and do NOT earn income for inmate haircuts.
