Review Summary Report, Alhambra City Jail

The Headquarters Office of Detention and Removal (HQDRO) performed a review of the Alhambra
City Jail, an IGSA facility. The review was conducted on September 13,2004. It was performed
b6, b7C
under the supervision of
Reviewer-In-Charge, with an additional member,
b6, b7C
Deportation Officer. Both officers are assigned to the Los Angeles Field Office.
The review measured compliance with the ICE Detention Standards. No other assessments were
performed or requested at this time. Attached is a copy of the original Form G-324a Detention
Inspection Form. All worksheets, facility paperwork and documentation are maintained in the
appropriate file and are available for review by the Review Authority.

Type of Review
This review was a routine, scheduled assessment, conducted for the sole purpose of determining the
overall compliance of the facility with the ICE Detention Standards.

Review Summary

(

The facility has been audited and is accredited by the California Department of Corrections. The
accreditation is currently in good standing. The following summarizes only the standards not in full
compliance. The facility is in compliance with the California Board of Corrections, however, the
operating procedures do not comply with the language contained in the ICE Detention Standards.
There is only one area that does not adhere to the ICE Detention Standards, nor does the facility
have written procedures in this area. The following summarizes the standard found to be noncompliant.

Key and Lock Control- DEFICIENCY:
• There are only two officers assigned in the booking/holding area per shift. Both officers
receive the keys from the prior shift officer before they change shifts. The Watch
Commander, Jail Administrator and Lieutenant in charge of the jail have the remaining sets
of keys. There is not written procedure for key control. The facility and staff are small and
there have been no incidents of misplaced or lost keys or officers leaving the facility with
keys. This procedure has been in effect since the opening of the facility and there is no
evidence that warrants the correction of their existing procedure. This element will remain a
deficiency based on the elements of the existing ICE Detention Standards.
Recommended Rating and Justification:

(

The results of our evaluation and review of the procedures and operation of the facility reflects their
ability to provide the proper and humane care of ICE detainees within the guidelines of the ICE
Detention Standards. The one standard (Key and Lock Control), which does not meet the current
Standard, will not impact the facility's ability to maintain proper supervision and control of the
detainees. It must also be noted that there have been no incidents involving detainees, which would
compromise the security control of the facility. All documentation reviewed by the team supports
the fact that this facility should be rated as Good.
RIC Assurance Statement:
It is the opinion of the Reviewer In Charge that the findings of compliance and non-compliance are

documented on the G-324a Inspection form and is supported by documentation in the review file.
