The purpose of this order is to establish procedures for the maintenance of all inmate wristbands as well as the procedures to positively identify an inmate for a new wristband.
This order shall apply to all personnel assigned to Pitchess Detention Center (PDC) North Facility.
All incoming inmates shall be processed in the Inmate Processing Area (IPA) upon their arrival to PDC North Facility. During processing, all wristbands shall be checked to ensure they are secured to the inmate’s left wrist. The wristbands shall also be checked every night during wristband count. It is the responsibility of the personnel conducting the wristband count to physically check every wristband for damage, legibility, and proper fit.
Any wristband that is illegible or damaged shall be noted for replacement. If the wristband is damaged but still functional and legible, personnel shall note the inmate’s booking number and contact the module control officer to get a replacement. It shall be the responsibility of the module rangers to ensure that the new wristbands get placed on the proper inmate’s wrist as soon as possible. If the wristband is damaged and no longer secured to the inmate, or is illegible, a new wristband shall be created and replaced immediately.
