Need the Reference for Standardized Coding of Inmate / Prisoner Incidents

MichaelScheiern — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 18:26:48 GMT

Is there a national standard for alphanumeric coding of inmate (prisoner) incidents? Something like a base 10 two-digit numerical code that bins incidents so codes 10-19 signify something like violent act against another prisoner, codes 20-29 indicate act against a facility employee, etc...

I am trying to locate both the coding schema and reference document to ensure our work is as consistent as possible with what I believe is a National Standard though I cannot locate that standard.

Thanks,

Mike Scheiern

Re: Cell Lighting

The American Correctional Association Standards are:

4-ALDF-1A-14 "Light levels in inmate cells/rooms are at least 20 foot-candles in personal grooming areas and at the writing surface. Lighting throughout the facility is sufficient for the tasks performed."

4-ALDF-1A-15 "All inmate rooms/cells provide the occupants with access to natural light. (Existing, renovation, addition only)

4-ALDF-1A-16 "Inmates in the general population who are confined in their rooms/cells for 10 or more hours daily have access to natural light by means of an opening or window of at least three square feet. Inmates in the general population who are confined in their rooms/cells for less than 10 hours daily have access to natural light through an opening or window as described above or through an opening or window of at least three square feet between their room/cell and an adjacent space." (New construction only)

You can contact ACA (www.aja.org) for comments, protocols, and process indicators. There may be modifications that can be made with security-grade products.
