This makes it <br />rather hard to see what the females are up to. We do <br />well-being ckecks every 30 minutes but in between these <br />times the females pretty much have any control they want <br />over the unit. There is one officer for 48 inmates. <br /> <br /> Delta pod is designed for pre-appearance/pre- <br />classification. There are also 12 medical cells that are <br />just used for inmates with medical needs. This pod is <br />designed for minimum security inmates when they first <br />come in. Jail orientation is done here when they first <br />come in. The orientation includes all of the rules for <br />the jail. The inmates usually go to court for ~heir <br />arraignments from here and most of them are released so <br />they never need to be re--classified. If they aren't <br />released, then they are re-classified to another pod <br />depending on their behavior in this pod.

Right now we have minimum, medium and maximum <br />in this pod. The aspect of this jail is to show the <br />inmates that their behavior defines where they are <br />placed. If the inmate follows all the rules and <br />directives of the staff, then they receive more <br />privileges. A minimum custody inmate placed here is not <br />receiving the benefits of good behavior. <br /> <br /> - The inmate worker dorm is designed to house inmate <br /> workers. This is also a dorm setting. They have the same <br /> privileges ms the work release inmates but don't leave <br /> the facility to work. They are kitchen, laundry and <br /> cleaning people. They work different shifts and hours. We <br /> have 16 beds in the inmate worker dorm but only have 8 <br /> inmate workers at this time. The dorm was set up for when <br /> <br /> <br />
