Chapter 5 – Adult Custody and Security Operations

52050.16.1 Work and Non – Housing Area

• Teachers, work supervisors, and instructors shall make a daily security and contraband search of the areas they supervise. Custody officer post orders shall require ongoing search each day and a thorough search of each inmate, work area, assignment shop, and classroom once each week.

• Inmates are subject to an inspection of their person either clothed or unclothed when there is reasonable suspicion that the inmate may have unauthorized or dangerous items or substances concealed on their person. Such inspection may also be a routine requirement for inmate movement into or out of high security risk areas. Random or spot-check inspections of inmates shall occur as a means to prevent the possession and movement of unauthorized and dangerous items and substances into, out of, or within the facility.
