•

attached to the knives through the steel shank.

•

In addition to the common fare menu, a schedule of the following year's major "holy"
days needs to be developed and forwarded to the Food Service Administrator.

•

Cleaning schedules need to be developed and conspicuously posted in all areas of the
Food Service Department.

•

It is recommended that food service workers receive training on the proper use of
hazardous chemicals, and the safety features of equipment, prior to beginning work.

•

The equipment training should be specific to the make and model of each piece of
equipment and be comprised of the manufacturer's guidelines for the safe operation, care
and cleaning ofthat model.

•

It is recommended that the facility develop written policy and procedures for returning
forgotten property to ICE detainees.

COMMENTS: This facility maintains a very high level of sanitation. All staff encountered were professional and efficient in the
performance of their duties. Morale for both staff and detainees appeared good.
Tool, Key and Lock Control programs require attention. If resources could be allocated, these areas would be greatiy improved by the
assignment of a full-time staff member to these areas.
