52020.8.6 CDC Form 129, Inmate Pass

  • Staff shall ensure that all inmates listed on the master pass list receive a CDC Form 129, Inmate Pass. This pass shall be issued to individual inmates to authorize movement to specified locations at designated times.

  • Each institution/facility shall develop precautionary procedures to ensure blank CDC Form 129s are secured in areas not accessible to inmates.

  • Issuance to Inmates

    • CDC Form 129s shall be issued to inmates by housing unit staff by 2200 hours the day prior to the effective date on the pass. The CDC Form 129 shall contain the following information:

      • Inmate’s name and CDC number.

      • Inmate’s assigned housing.

      • Date scheduled.

      • Time scheduled.

      • The destination.

      • The arrival and departure time.

      • The reason for the pass.

    • All non-priority pass forms shall be printed on plain white paper.

    • When unscheduled inmate movement is necessary, staff shall issue inmates a CDC Form 129 prior to allowing inmates to proceed without staff escort (i.e., medical/dental, authorized attorney visit, disciplinary hearing, or to complete Receiving & Release necessities, etc.). Staff shall call to inform other staff if an inmate(s) is expected to arrive at their location.

  • Scheduling Priority Appointments

    • Except for emergencies, medical services, and casework needs (priority ducats) passes shall not be scheduled during work/program hours. Pass scheduling shall comply with the work incentive law.

      • When it is necessary to make casework contacts during an inmate’s work hours, a “Priority Ducat Request” shall be initiated including only those inmates who will be on scheduled work assignments. This shall be done separately from nonpriority request.

      • The priority request shall require either the approval of the chairperson of a properly constituted classification committee, or the approval of the originator’s immediate supervisor. All priority passes shall be distinguished in accordance with DOMDepartment Operations Manual 53130.9.2, Priority Ducat System.
