Title

When a death or serious event occurs in the inmate’s family, and the family would like the inmate notified, the following protocol should be used:

In the event of a death in the inmate’s family, the Watch Commander should be notified.  He/She will verify and document the caller and the circumstances and contact the inmate’s counselor and/or mental health staff if warranted.  The counselor will contact the Chaplain to help break the news and arrange a phone call for the inmate if appropriate.

Each Chaplain is stationed on one of the yards and is available most days of the week.
