The purpose of this order is to establish procedures for the movement of inmates within Pitchess Detention Center (PDC) North Facility.
This order shall apply to all personnel assigned to PDC North Facility.
Inmate movement is the transfer of an inmate outside of their assigned housing location, to include movement from one dorm to another dorm, between modules, to visiting, and clinic appointments.
All inmates, except inmates classified for outside work crews, shall be handcuffed when outside of a module.
Routine inmate movement is the movement of inmates at the direction of medical staff, the classification officer, Operations Safe Jails (OSJ) personnel, or Population Management Bureau (PMB) personnel.
Any non-routine inmate movement shall be at the direction of a team leader, watch deputy, or shift supervisor (rank of supervising line deputy and above). Team leaders and watch deputies shall seek prior approval from a shift supervisor for all non-routine inmate movement.
Bunk assignment changes shall only be made for medical reasons or at the direction of a team leader.
