Disciplinary Policy - Deficient (Repeat Finding)
Policy: All facilities housing ICE detainees are authorized to impose discipline on detainees
whose behavior is not in compliance with facility rules and reguJations.
•

The Euless City Jail has not established policy or procedures to impose discipline on
detainees whose behavior is not in compliance with facility rules and regulations.

•

ECJ Policy 400.47, Inmate·Discipline, does not establish a written disciplinary procedure.
The policy identifies loss of privileges, disciplinary isolation, and formal charges as
actions allowable by staff; however, the policy does not establish the severity of charges,
duration of sanctions, or proceedings regarding disciplinary reports, investigations, or
hearings. There is no progressive level of review and/or appeals.

•

ECJ is~ues a detainee handbook which describes, in general terms, the disciplinary
process but it does not define charges, or sanctions based on the severity levels of
offenses. Additionally, the facility's discipline policy and procedure does not require
staff compliance with the general procedures described in the handbook.

•

Policy 400.46, Rules of Conduct for PrisonerslDetainees, briefly describes prohibited
acts, but they are not posted in the facility. A disciplinary severity scale and sanctions for
violation of a prohibited act have not been established.

Recommendation
The administration should develop a written disciplinary policy that is consistent with the
procedures listed in the ICE Handbook, and should develop a methodology to ensure this
information is made available to all detainees.
