MEMORANDUM FOR:

Director (Acting)
Office of Detention and Removal

THROUGH:

Official Channels

FROM:

SUBJECT:

Calcasieu Parish Correctional Center
Follow-Up Detention Review

On October 31- November 1,2005, a follow-up review was conducted for the Calcasieu Parish
Correctional Center located within the New Orleans Field Office. This review was performed under
the supervision of
Reviewer-in-Charge (RIC).
Immigration
Enforcement Agent, assisted the RIC in this review. The facility is used for detainees requiring
housing more than seventy-two (72) hours.
The scheduled annual review was conducted on June 20 - 22, 2005 and a recommendation was
made for a rating of "Good". However, on September 24,2005, Hurricane Rita made landfall in
Louisiana as a Category 3 hurricane. The Lake Charles, Louisiana area suffered severe damage and
power outages. The detainee population was evacuated from the facility but the staff was required to
report in and remain at the facility to respond to emergencies. When the power was restored, the
staff worked diligently to clean and prepare the facility for repopulation. On October 12, 2005, the
Office of Public Health performed an inspection and determined the facility was cleared for
repopulation. In addition, the State Fire Marshal approved the facility for occupancy and allowed
them to house an additional 200 detainees if necessary until January 13, 2006.

Type of Review:
This review is a follow-up Operational Review to detennine general compliance with established
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) National Detention Standards.
Review Findings:
No DHS Standards have been identified as overall deficient.

Report

•

RIC Observations:
During the review in June 2005, the review team discovered that the facility did not have a policy to
test all incoming detainees for Tuberculosis (TB). The review team also discovered that the
correctional staff used to distribute medications was not properly trained. Warden Tete explained
that the new Sheriff's administration was in the process of creating a funding string to perform TB
testing on all new arrivals. He assured the review team that any new ICE detainees that entered the
facility who could not provide recent proof of TB clearance would be tested and funding would be
made available from another source. The new medical staff has now trained the correctional
officers to distribute medication after hours.
Please refer to the standard of Hold Rooms In Detention Facilities, under the component that reads,
"Indi viduals are not held in hold rooms for more than twelve hours". I marked this component
"No". The facility may keep a detainee in a hold room area longer than 12 hours awaiting medical
clearance or classification for dormitory assignment. If this becomes necessary, the detainee is
transferred to a private cell that is located within the holding area. This cell contains a bed and toilet
facilities and the detainee is made comfortable until the assignment process is complete.
Although the local ICE office currently handles land transportation, the review team inspected this
standard in the event the contract is renegotiated to include transportation costs.
The facility did not recei ve a thirty-day notice of this review, but no constraints or difficulties were
encountered. They were prepared for this review and readily produced the necessary documentation
to satisfy the components within each standard. They provided access to all departments and
buildings within the facility. The administrative staff and correctional officers are still dealing with
personal issues that were created as a result of the storm. Many are still residing in temporary
housing, awaiting the repair of their permanent dwellings. These setbacks have not prevented them
from performing their duties and providing a safe and secure environment for the detention
population.

Best Practice:
The facility has prepared an exceptional detainee handbook. In addition to the handbook, the
detainee population is provided with Inmate Television. Channel 16 is displayed in the dormitory
and living areas for a minimum of one hour each day. It provides a continuous review of the rules
and regulations, available rehabilitative and educational programs, religious services, disciplinary
policy, etc. New information pertinent to the detainee's daily living and any updates to policy and
procedures are displayed within minutes.

Recommended Rating and Justification:
It is the Reviewer-in-Charge recommendation that the facility receive a rating of "Good".
RIC Assurance Statement:
All findings of this review have been documented on Form G-324B and are supported by the written
documentation contained in the review file.
