County Coordinator johnson@co.cass.nd.us 701~241-5720 (voice) 701-297-6020 (fax) ) . . 1 M '-----Or~g~na essage----- From: Rick Hoganson [mailto:rick@fossarch.com] Sent: Monday, March 13, 2006 6:50 PM To: Johnson, Bonnie O. Cc: Rochelle Conzemius Subject: direct supervision pod exit In the absence of future planning for the jail, the City of Fargo is going to require a second means of egress out of the new pod in the south east corner of the facility. Prior planning had allowed for the horizontal travel to/through the corridor or directly into another pod or smoke compartment with a third egress opportunity to the outside of the building via the secure vestibules between pods. The only way to get out of the pod being discussed in an emergency is through the corridor (which is one acceptable exit) until such time Cass County would add more pods to the east we need to find another. The most economical way to respond to this is to provide an exit in the "always proposed" location (as all the direct supervision pods have been handled) but it must be to the outside through a secure vestibule on the east end of the building. The question then is, does Cass County want to control the inmates at this exit point in the case of an emergency by means of a fence in area or by some other method described in the jail's "Policies and Procedure Manual", If it is by a perimeter fence that allows the inmates to get the required distance from the building during an emergency, then what level of security do you want to provide? Does it become outdoor rec? Rochelle can share more of this with you on Wednesday, as I told you before I would be out of town.
