Individuals may also be asked to remove outer garments, heavy clothing, and/or shoes to complete the security search.

Unclothed Body Search

• An unclothed body search may consist of the removal of a portion or all of an individual’s clothing so as to permit a visual inspection by staff of the body and body cavities for security reasons. Additionally, staff may use other non-intrusive detection devices to conduct the security search of the person in question.

Visitors shall have property in their possession searched prior to being allowed entry into the institution/facility. Visitors shall remove all items from their pockets and remove jackets, belts, shoes, etc. These items shall be placed in a designated area for inspection by the visitor processing center staff.

Additional screening will occur when an individual sets off the alarm of the metal detector, an individual is selected for additional screening, or an individual has provided documentation to substantiate a condition that precludes successful screening by metal detector. Additional screening may include a hand-held wand inspection in conjunction with a clothed body search of the visitor’s body (including the torso), a clothed body search alone, or an unclothed body search.

When additional screening is required, visitors should let staff know of any personal needs or concerns they may have due to religious or cultural considerations, disability, or other medical concern. Additional searches will be conducted by staff of the same gender as the visitor.

Staff shall use a hand-held wand inspection to identify what may have set off the alarm on the walk-through metal detector or to confirm an alarm present during the initial screening.

Staff may conduct a clothed body search and use a variety of detection devices when the visitor fails to clear any contraband/metal detection device, or information has been obtained indicating that a visitor is in possession of contraband as described in DOMDepartment Operations Manual Chapter 5, Article 20. To ensure security, a clothed body search may be used in conjunction with the hand-held wand inspection. A clothed body search may also be performed as a stand-alone procedure, when appropriate, or to resolve alarms set off during an inspection by a metal detector. A clothed body search may include touching sensitive areas of the body.

Visiting staff of the same sex as the visitor shall conduct authorized clothed body searches.

In emergency situations, custody staff of either sex may conduct a clothed body search.

Removal of outer garments, heavy clothing, and possibly shoes may be requested to complete the security search.

Discretion shall be exercised when issuing instructions to persons being searched.

Clothed body searches may be conducted on reasonable suspicion that the visitor is carrying contraband.

Staff may conduct an unclothed visual body search and use a variety of detection devices to conduct a more intensive security search of the visitor’s person when the visitor fails to clear any contraband/metal detection device, or information is obtained that a visitor is in possession of contraband as described in DOMDepartment Operations Manual Chapter 5, Article 20. An unclothed body search is a security procedure that involves visual inspection of a person’s body with all of their clothing removed and a thorough inspection of the person’s clothing for the purpose of detecting contraband. This procedure may be conducted with the visitor’s consent when there is a reasonable suspicion that the visitor is carrying contraband and when no less intrusive means are available to conduct the search.

Unclothed searches are especially appropriate when clothed searches prove inconclusive and the presence of contraband remains a reasonable suspicion.

Unclothed body searches shall be accomplished in accordance with the following provisions and recorded on a CDC Form 888, Notice of Request to Search.

Visiting staff of the same sex as the visitor shall conduct authorized unclothed body searches. The search shall be conducted in a private setting, in a dignified manner, and by at least two staff members. Unclothed body searches may be done on probable cause.

Discretion shall be exercised when issuing instructions to persons being searched.

If staff identifies what appears to be contraband in a body cavity and the visitor refuses to remove the suspected contraband from the body cavity, the visitor shall be detained and referred to the local law enforcement agency.

When probable cause exists that a visitor has concealed contraband in a body cavity; local law enforcement shall be summoned. CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation staff shall not perform any body cavity searches of visitors.

A copy of the CDC Form 888 excluding confidential information shall be given to the visitor.

When a clothed or unclothed body search of a visitor is authorized and/or necessary due to the failure to clear any contraband/metal detection device, the visitor shall be verbally informed of the reason(s) for the search and the name of the official ordering the search. Before the search is conducted, the visitor shall provide written consent by signing a CDC Form 888.

A CDC Form 888 shall be completed for each person searched, including minors. The parents or legal guardian of the minor shall be required to consent to the search of minor children by signing the CDC Form 888.

• The reason for the clothed or unclothed search of the visitor’s person or exceptional search of property or vehicle.

• The visitor’s response.

• The results of the search.

On weekends and holidays, this report shall be submitted to the institution head on the first working day following the search.

Visitors who refuse to submit to a clothed or unclothed body search shall have their visiting privileges denied for that day. Future visits may be conditional upon the visitor’s willingness to submit to a clothed or unclothed body search prior to each visit.

Any parent or legal guardian refusing to provide consent for clothed or unclothed search of a minor shall be denied the opportunity to visit that day.

The institution head may delegate authority, to authorize clothed and/or unclothed body searches of visitors and search their property or vehicles, to staff at the level of correctional captain or higher. The Administrative Officer of the Day (AODAdministrative Officer of the Day) shall exercise this authority in the absence of appropriate staff.

The visiting supervisor/watch commander shall advise the captain/administrator in charge of visiting of a search of a minor. During non-business hours the AODAdministrative Officer of the Day shall be notified.

Any visitor whose visit is terminated due to overcrowding shall not be allowed to re-enter on the day of termination.

The institution head or designee may suspend the visiting program during an emergency.

Inmates have a right to access the courts and the judicial system. It is the policy of the CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to facilitate both correspondence and personal consultation for this purpose.

An attorney visit is a private consultation between an inmate and his/her attorney or representative.

Conversations between an inmate and an attorney or attorney representative shall not be listened to or monitored with the exception of visual observation by staff as required for the safety and security of the institution/facility.

Attorneys or attorney representatives shall not be permitted to attend or participate in any conference or committee meeting of staff and the inmate concerned, except as may be authorized by law or regulation.

An attorney or attorney representative seeking an in-person consultation with an inmate shall contact the institution/facility at which the inmate is housed. Such request(s) shall be in advance and can be made in person, in writing, by telephone, or facsimile directed to the staff designated in the institution/facility’s operational supplement to this Section.

The following personal and professional information is required in writing for approval of the attorney’s request to visit:

• Inmate’s name, CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation number, and date of birth.

• Proof of the attorney’s current registry, in good standing, with a state bar association and indication of the jurisdiction(s) licensed to practice law.

• The attorney’s date of birth, mailing address, and valid driver’s license or state-issued identification card number.

The requesting attorney must also report any prior felony convictions, explain any prior suspension or exclusion from a correctional facility, and declare one or more of the following:

• They are the attorney of record either by appointment by the court, appointment by the Board of Parole Hearings, or at the inmate’s request.

• They have been requested by a judge to interview a named inmate for purpose of possible appointment as counsel by the same court.

• They are seeking to visit an inmate who may be a witness relevant to a legal matter.

• They are seeking to interview an inmate at that inmate’s request for the purpose of possible representation.

• They have been requested by a third party to consult with the inmate when the inmate cannot do so because of a medical condition, disability, or other circumstance.

Any false statement or deliberate misrepresentation of facts specific to the information requested above shall be grounds for denying the request and/or cause for subsequent suspension or exclusion from all institutions/facilities administered by the Department.

• The attorney or attorney representative must present a copy of the declaration to staff prior to each visit with the specified inmate. The original declaration shall be maintained on file at the institution where the inmate is housed.

• Any written information required by CCRCalifornia Code of Regulations Subsection 3178(d) may be submitted by facsimile transmission.

Processing of Attorney Visit Requests

• Upon receipt of the written request and required information, a California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETSCalifornia Law Enforcement Telecommunications System) check through the Department of Justice and verification of the attorney’s credentials through the governing state bar association shall be conducted. The institution/facility conducting this background check shall subsequently maintain and update, as appropriate, all records relevant to processing such requests. Once the clearance and verification has been obtained, the attorney shall be contacted to schedule the initial visit. The attorney clearance shall be granted only for the institution/facility that conducted the clearance.

• Attorneys and attorney representatives must report any change in personal or professional information, arrest history, and declarations in order to retain their approval/clearance, which shall otherwise be indefinitely valid throughout the inmate in question’s period of confinement at the institution/facility. Upon the inmate’s return to custody, a new visiting request and declaration shall be submitted.

• Each institution/facility shall maintain a current list of all approved attorneys.

Exceptional or Unscheduled interviews

• Should an attorney believe information acquired in the course of a scheduled visit warrants immediate follow-up in the form of a separate interview with a different inmate, the opportunity for an exceptional or unscheduled interview with the other inmate may be requested at the conclusion of the visit in progress. Such requests shall be honored subject to reasonable operational limitations and upon completion of a declaration in accordance with the requirements of DOMDepartment Operations Manual 54020.31.1. If the request imposes an unreasonable burden on staffing or unduly disrupts an institution function, (i.e., interferes with count or feeding), it will be deemed unreasonable. Under such circumstances, the attorney shall be so informed and a visit with the inmate in question may be scheduled in accordance with the procedures set forth above.

The visiting sergeant or designee shall notify the inmate of the scheduled attorney visit via the CDC Form 1081, Notice of Attorney/Legal Visit. It is the inmate’s responsibility to appear for the visit at the scheduled time. Approval or disapproval of any attorney request to visit shall be documented on the SOMSStrategic Offender Management Notices. If disapproved, the inmate shall be notified via the CDC Form 128-B.

Visits during Work/Training Hours

• When an appointment is scheduled during an inmate’s work/training hours, the inmate shall be released from the assignment.

Attorney visits shall normally be accommodated and/or scheduled during the institution/facility’s established regularly scheduled visiting hours and days.

When regular visiting is scheduled on both weekdays and weekends, the scheduling preference will be weekdays because of the personnel and resources needed for the greater volume of weekend visits by friends and relatives.

When an institution/facility regular visiting schedule provides for inmate visitation only on weekends, an attorney visit shall be scheduled as specified below upon request of the attorney or designated attorney representative. Upon authorization of the attorney visit, the visit shall be scheduled during weekday business hours.

With the exception noted below, attorneys or attorney representatives who have not been previously approved to visit should provide the institution in writing with the information required by DOMDepartment Operations Manual 54020.32.1 no less than five business days in advance of the desired date of the visit.

This advance verification is necessary in order to conduct clearance checks, verifications, and to permit scheduling of available staff and facilities.

If the clearance cannot be obtained and approved prior to the requested visit date, the attorney or attorney representative shall be contacted and informed of the reasons for the delay.

Attorneys with a compelling need to visit an inmate during other than the established visiting hours shall submit a request to the institution head or designee.

• Written verification of a Board of Parole Hearings hearing or consultation, scheduled evidentiary hearings, and trial or court filings that are within 30 days from the date of the visit are examples of acceptably documented compelling or emergency need for the attorney visit.

Attorneys previously approved to visit at the institution/facility shall request private consultations no less than two business days in advance.

• Two business days written, faxed, or phoned notices to schedule an attorney visit are particularly appropriate for attorney visits during regularly scheduled visiting days, or when scheduling an attorney visit during a normal weekday at an institution that only provides for regular visiting during the weekend, or to schedule an attorney visit on a non scheduled visiting weekday because of scheduling conflicts or other declared need.

• When a previously approved attorney or attorney representative is unable to provide the two business days notice due to a scheduling conflict or for some other declared need, the institution head or designee may authorize a visit with 24-hour notice so long as the visit does not interfere with the safety and security of the institution/facility and as necessary to accommodate the attorney visit on a non scheduled visiting day.

• Under extraordinary circumstances, attorneys who have not been previously approved to visit and are unable to provide the required information within five business days may be authorized by the institution head or designee to visit with no less than **24-hour notice so long as the visit does not interfere with the safety and security of the institution.

Attorney visits shall be conducted in institution/facility visiting rooms.

Inmates shall be granted contact or non-contact visits, according to their visiting status at the time of the attorney visit.

• When a compelling need exists, the institution head or designee may grant an inmate on non-contact visiting status a contact attorney visit. Such visits shall occur in private visiting accommodations specified by the institution facility in accordance with this Section.

• If an attorney or attorney representative does not desire private accommodations, the attorney or attorney representative may visit the inmate on any regularly scheduled visiting day and shall be provided the same accommodations as a regular visit, with the exception that, notwithstanding the limitations of DOMDepartment Operations Manual 54020.15, legal documents may be exchanged in accordance with CCRCalifornia Code of Regulations Section 3178(o).

An approved attorney or attorney representative and any accompanying authorized support personnel shall be processed upon arrival at the institution/facility in the manner set forth in DOMDepartment Operations Manual 54020.11.

• Attorneys, representatives, and authorized support personnel with appointments shall be expeditiously processed, and if necessary to do so, may be advanced to the front of any processing line.

All items, legal or related case documents and required equipment or apparatus in possession of the above identified individuals, shall be inspected prior to entry into the institution/facility. Once inspected and cleared, these materials may then be conveyed into the confidential consultation area.

• Attorneys shall also be required to present proof of active registry with a state bar association and a copy of the declaration of the reasons for the consultation as specified above.

• Attorney representatives and litigation support personnel shall be required to provide valid written authorization by an attorney who has been cleared and approved in accordance with DOMDepartment Operations Manual 54020.32.1.

No more than two attorneys, or attorney representatives and litigation support personnel, may visit privately with an inmate or witness at the same time. Exceptions may be authorized by the official in charge of visiting when an attorney declares that litigation support personnel are needed to assist in the legal process/proceeding, commensurate with space and staff availability.

An attorney or court may designate, by name and in writing, representatives to interview an inmate or witnesses on behalf of an attorney. Such designated representatives shall be afforded the same accommodations and services as an attorney, providing all other requirements of this Section are met.

Representatives acting on behalf of an inmate’s attorney shall be one of the following:

• Private investigator, licensed by any state and sponsored by the attorney or appointed by the court.

• A law student sponsored by the attorney.

• An employee of an attorney, legitimate legal service organization, or licensed private investigator who is sponsored by the attorney or licensed private investigator.

• A legal paraprofessional sponsored by the attorney or appointed by the court.

• An investigator who is employed by a government agency, public agency, or public institution.

Litigation support personnel include, but are not limited to, the following individuals retained or sponsored by the attorney or attorney representative in a formal capacity as specified below:

• Certified language interpreters, sign language interpreters, and court reporters.

• Polygraph examiners.

• Licensed mental or medical health care professionals.

Such personnel may accompany the attorney or attorney representative during the private consultation in order to assist in the legal process, proceeding, or case investigation.

With the exception of licensed mental or medical health professionals, the attorney or attorney representative must accompany all litigation support personnel assisting in the performance of legal functions during any private consultation.

For purposes of this Section, verifiable proof of employment or sponsorship shall be, at minimum, a formal agreement between parties outlining the duties or services to be performed by the designee and the start date of such services.

A letter of authorization to act on the attorney’s behalf shall be signed by the attorney or judge and the designee. The letter must be dated within 180 days of the visit and clearly indicate that the representative is a court appointee or authorized agent of the attorney as appropriate and specific to DOMDepartment Operations Manual 54020.32.6 and shall contain the following:

• The designee’s name and position of employment or title.

• The designee’s date of birth, driver’s license, and Social Security number.

• Certification in the form of a license that the representative is a licensed private investigator retained by the attorney or appointed by the court; or valid identification that the investigator is employed by a government agency, public agency, or public institution; or a letter in the form of a declaration that the attorney representative is being sponsored by the attorney and that the attorney accepts responsibility for all actions taken by the attorney representative.

• The name and CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation number of the inmate(s) to be visited.

Designations of litigation support personnel and personnel admitted in accordance with the deposition provisions of DOMDepartment Operations Manual 54020.32 shall be in writing, dated within 30 days of the visit, and signed by the attorney and/or judge.

• The letter of authorization, required designations, copy of any employment contract or sponsorship agreement, and declaration of purpose of visit shall be submitted to the institution head or designee for review.

• The letter of authorization shall be presented by the attorney representative or litigation support personnel, along with verifying proof of identity at the time of the scheduled visit and shall be subject to verification.

In declaring that the attorney assumes full responsibility for the actions of their designees, the attorney is certifying that the designee is performing a recognized legitimate legal function. Therefore, upon proof of misconduct or deliberate misrepresentation of the part of the designee or upon proof that the designee is not employed by or has no verifiable sponsored relationship with the attorney, the attorney risks losing the ability to designate others to act on their behalf or may face suspension of their own attorney visiting privileges on a departmentwide basis in accordance with CCRCalifornia Code of Regulations Section 3178(s).

All items, documents, and case related materials conveyed into the confidential consultation area shall be inspected. The purpose of the inspection is to ensure the contents pose no threat to the safety or security of the institution/facility, including the introduction of unauthorized drugs, controlled substances, and/or contraband as defined in CCRCalifornia Code of Regulations Section 3006.

Staff may open and inspect, but shall not read any part of a legal written or printed document without the express consent of the inmate, attorney, or attorney representative.

All legal documents or associated case related materials the attorney or attorney representative provides or receives from the inmate are deemed necessary for the furtherance of a legitimate legal process, proceeding, or action. Therefore, the exchange of any other item or document can result in restriction, suspension, and/or exclusion of the attorney’s visiting privileges on a departmentwide basis in accordance with CCRCalifornia Code of Regulations Section 3178(s).

After proper inspection, written and printed material may be exchanged. The attorney or attorney representative may retain, and take from the visiting area and institution/facility, any legal document or case related material given to him or her by the inmate and not otherwise prohibited by law or regulations. After inspection, inmates may retain and take from the visiting area any legal documents and case related materials not otherwise prohibited by law or these regulations and given to them by the attorney or attorney representative.

Staff shall limit inspection(s) to the extent minimally necessary to ensure that the contents pose no threat to the security or safety of the institution/facility.

Legal documents or case related materials refused by an inmate shall be returned to the attorney or attorney representative in person or by mail.

Depositions should be scheduled by prior arrangement. The attorney desiring the deposition must make a written request to the institution head or designee, which includes the following:

• Inmate’s name and CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation number.

• Deposition date and time.
