PURPOSE OF ORDER:
The purpose of this order is to address inmate exercise and recreation at the Inmate Reception Center (IRC).
SCOPE OF ORDER:
This order shall apply to all personnel assigned to and/or working in any capacity at IRC.
ORDER:
California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 15, Section 1065 requires Type II facilities to implement written procedures for exercise and recreation.
The booking process at IRC typically does not surpass 96 hours and involves inmates cycling through multiple stages of classification and medical screening prior to assignment at a permanent housing facility. Inmates are afforded the opportunity to view television in between stages of the booking process, but the nature of this process typically does not allow for recreational time.
Inmates waiting to be medically cleared may be assigned to temporary housing in [REDACTED TEXT], and may potentially surpass the typical 96 hour duration for booking. Inmates housed in [REDACTED TEXT] are afforded the opportunity to participate in recreational time in the dayroom of their assigned housing pod.
Upon completion of the entire booking process, inmates will be assigned to their designated permanent housing facility, where they will have full access to regularly scheduled recreational programs, games, and television. For additional information, please refer to the Custody Division Manual (CDM) Section 5-13/120.00 Exercise and Recreation.
