Chapter 5 – Adult Custody and Security Operations

53120.1 Policy

• “Inmate Advisory Council,” hereinafter referred to as “IACInstitution Advisory Counsel,” is a departmental term used to describe the body of inmates selected by the general inmate population of each institution to act in an advisory capacity to the Warden, and his or her administrative staff, in matters of common interest and concern to the general inmate population and administration.

• With the approval of the Warden, a local IACInstitution Advisory Counsel may use a title other than IACInstitution Advisory Counsel, providing the title adequately conveys the group’s advisory role. Examples are:

  • Men’s Advisory Council (MACMen's Advisory Council).

  • Women’s Advisory Council (WACWomen’s Advisory Council).

  • Resident’s Advisory Council (RAC).
