Admission to the Facility

An officer will inventory your personal property and place it in the inmate property room.

Deductions can also be made for medical co-pays, medications lost or damaged County property, etc. You are required to wear a jail uniform.

Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA)

The Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 was enacted by Congress to address the problem of sexual abuse of persons in the custody of U.S. Confinement Facilities. The Caldwell County Detention Center has a zero-tolerance policy for the incidence of inmate sexual abuse and sexual harassment. This applies to both inmate-on-inmate sexual abuse and staff sexual misconduct. Alert a member of the jail’s staff immediately if you feel you have been sexually assaulted during incarceration. They will contact the appropriate person to conduct the investigation. You may also fill out a request on the housing unit kiosk under the PREA subject. You may also request a grievance by paper or again you may also do so on the kiosk. The telephone system is also another way to send your request out, when on the system it will give you all prompts and direct you to the correct number to dial.

You Have the Right to be Safe from Sexually Abusive Behavior!

While you are incarcerated, no one has the right to pressure you to engage in sexual acts, or sexually abusive behavior, or pressure you to engage in unwanted sexual behavior from another inmate or a staff member, regardless of your age, size, race, gender, or sexual orientation.

Contraband

Contraband is defined as any item which is forbidden by or not specifically authorized by jail rules, any excessive property or property which has been altered from its original condition or converted to another use. To provide a harassment-free workplace for staff, inmates, and visitors, materials depicting human nudity or sexuality (including photographs) or which could cause or create a hostile work environment are not allowed in the Caldwell County Detention Center. Nudity is defined as the depiction or display of pubic hair, genitalia, buttocks, or breasts of either sex.

An inmate is considered to “possess” an item if it is found in the inmate’s cell, plastic property container, bunk, or bedding, or within reach of the inmate and is not claimed by any other inmate. More than one inmate may possess an item at one time. When contraband is found, at the discretion of the Shift Sergeant/OIC, it will be destroyed, discarded, returned to stock (to be reused), or held as evidence and turned over to a law enforcement agency.

Examples of Contraband That an Inmate Is Prohibited to Possess While Being Held by the Caldwell County Detention Center (Not a Complete List)

Items forbidden by jail rules: Knife, money, illegal drugs, tobacco, cigarettes, matches, non-paperback books, cigarette lighters, intoxicants, jewelry, nails, any type of metal, broken pens, razors, etc.
Items not specifically authorized by jail rules: pens given to an inmate by outsiders without jail approval, a driver’s license, personal check, etc.
Excessive property: More property than can be held in a plastic property container, more than one blanket, more than one mattress, any amount of allowable property that cannot be neatly stored in the plastic storage container with lid sealed. These items are considered contraband and are subject to confiscation. No exceptions!

Sending & Receiving Mail

Incoming MailLegal mail and publications will be the only mail accepted. Publications will only be accepted by the publisher(s). We will only accept mail that comes in from the U.S. Postal Service. We will not accept any mail from UPS, FED-EX, or DHL. Legal mail and publications must be delivered by the U.S. Postal Service only. Publications from individual persons will be returned to the sender. All other mail will be returned to the sender. All other general mail must be sent through AccessCorrections.com

General MailAll general mail must be sent through AccessCorrections.com. The “outside” sender must create an account. Once the account is created and funds are deposited, inmates may receive their mail/messages. Typed and picture messages may be sent to inmates and viewed on the kiosk by the inmate. All messages and photos must be approved by staff before they will be available for viewing. Any message or photo that portrays violence, pornography, illegal activity, or any act, symbol, or item that may compromise the safety, security or proper order of this facility will be rejected. Any general mail sent to the detention center will be Returned to Sender.

Outgoing MailAll outgoing mail must have the inmate’s full name (the name under which you were booked) printed legibly in the envelope’s upper, left corner. General outgoing mail must be flat, fully flexible, and bendable, and contain handwritten or typed correspondence. It must be delivered unsealed to a detention officer. It may be opened and inspected for contraband outside of your presence. NO drawings or pictures are allowed to be on any outgoing mail envelopes. Any envelopes with drawings or pictures will be returned or considered contraband. The only thing that is to be written on an envelope is the inmate’s name and the detention center address, and the receiver’s name and address.

Legal MailLegal mail is correspondence or legal materials coming from your attorney and must be marked “Attorney / Client Mail” and must be mailed in by using a custom business envelope. Legal mail will be opened and examined for contraband by an officer in the presence of the inmate. Officers will remove all documents from the envelope and examine them for the presence of contraband. We will not accept legal mail as mail that states “legal mail” written all over it in pen anymore. It must be in a Custom Envelope from the inmate’s attorney. If a piece of Legal mail is opened by mistake, the Officer will explain to the inmate that it was opened and why it was opened but not read.

Legal mail must be addressed to an attorney, court, court official or elected official. The front side of the envelope must be marked “Legal Mail” in prominent letters. It will be delivered unsealed to a detention officer and inspected in the inmate’s presence.

Legal mail, indigent letters, and other approved letters may be mailed out. It is encouraged to take advantage of electronic secure mail for outgoing letters.

Commissary

Commissary is not a Constitutional right, but a privilege provided for your comfort and convenience. The jail commissary is operated by Keefe Commissary Group. Prices are consistent with local retail outlets. To order commissary items, you must have sufficient funds in your Inmate Trust Fund Account and not be subject to certain disciplinary actions. Commissary orders are ordered on the kiosk and must be turned in no later than 8 am on Tuesday mornings. There may be limitations to the quantity and type of items you may receive. Inmates who violate the ID bracelet policy (refuse to show their ID bracelet) or who order and willfully refuse a commissary order, will have commissary privileges suspended until reinstated by the Lieutenant or Detention Captain. All items ordered must be kept in the inmate’s tote box at all times. Keefe also offers Care Packages that your family and friends can send to you from home instead of you paying for it out of your inmate trust account. A Care Package is a powerful, convenient way to tell an inmate they have the support of their loved ones. Using a debit or credit card, friends or family can choose from a large selection of snacks, meal options, healthy alternatives, clothing, and stationery. Care Packages can be ordered online by choosing Caldwell County and picking out a basket for purchase. The Care Packages products will only be given out to the inmate for whom it was purchased. Any inmate that transfers out to another facility, makes bond, or completes their sentenced time before their ordered canteen has arrived, must make arrangements to have the canteen picked up at the detention center within 3 days of its arrival. You may not leave your canteen to another inmate that is still being housed in the detention center when you leave. The detention center will only hold the canteen for 3 days.

No money refunds or reorders will be made for the canteen after an inmate has left this facility. No exceptions!

Social Visitors

During the pandemic, video visitation only, 2 visits a week!

Social visitation is a privilege that can be restricted or denied for specific periods of time. Self-reporting inmates (including weekenders,) inmates on disciplinary restriction and inmates who are unclassified are not eligible for social visitation.

Video Visitation is completed in 25-minute intervals. Each inmate is only allowed two onsite visits per weekend and up to one offsite visit per day. Anyone wanting to visit an inmate must register and schedule a visit at www.icsolutions.com. Visits are on a first come first serve basis. Each onsite visit can have up to 4 people. This can be any combination of adults and children over 2 (Infants do not count) and must be on the schedule for the visit. All adults must register online to schedule a visit (adults defined as 18 or older). Persons 17 or younger do not have to be registered but should be added to the scheduled visit and must be accompanied by the registered visitor. Scheduling can be a minimum of 24 hours prior and up to 1 week out. If you or the inmate are more than 10 minutes late for the scheduled time, the visit will be marked as missed and will count toward a visit. Visitors are expected to dress in a manner that demonstrates respect and doesn’t compromise safety for one’s self and others.

Adult visitors must produce a valid, government-issued photo identification card such as a driver’s license or state ID card. The outstanding warrants file will be checked.

Visitors, who become loud or disruptive, are intoxicated, fail to control the behavior of their children, or otherwise violate Detention Center rules will be told to leave and / or banned from the Caldwell County Detention Center.

Professional Visitors

During the pandemic, professional visitors will visit at visitation. Attorneys can set up a video visitation offsite with their clients.

Professional visitors may visit inmates Monday through Friday from 8 am until 7 pm Professional visitors include law enforcement officials, legal representatives (attorneys, paralegals, interpreters, etc.,) and certain medical service providers. A pastor or religious leader is not a professional visitor. Pastor or religious visitors must first receive approval through the Detention Captain for visitation. Pastors or religious leaders may visit inmates outside of normal visitation only Monday through Friday. The visit must be pre-arranged and approved by the Detention Captain. No cell phones are allowed and all visitors are subject to search.

Jail Health Services

You are responsible for reporting illnesses or medical problems to a detention officer. Emergency medical care is available at all times. Routine mental, dental and psychiatric services are also available. An emergency is a situation requiring immediate medical intervention due to an imminent, life-threatening (life or death) situation. Inmates are prohibited from feigning sickness or injury. Inmates requesting non-emergency medical care may sign up for sick call at any time by filling out a sick call on the kiosk and submitting it to the medical department. Sick call is conducted on a regular basis. If necessary, the nurse will schedule an appointment with the physician, psychiatrist or dentist.

No inmate will be denied access to services due to an inability to pay. All inmates will be charged a $20 co-payment for non-emergency medical and dental services. Sick call requests are not necessarily seen on a first come first serve basis. Inmates will be charged $20 per condition and will be charged a $20 re-evaluation fee. Follow-up visits that are requested by inmate within 14 days of the sick call will be charged $5 per visit. X-rays and lab work will be $10 each. Non-prescription medications will be $3 per month and prescription medications will be $10 per month. Only ONE medical complaint per sick call request. Medical co-payments will be deducted from your Inmate Trust Fund Account. If you don’t have enough money in your trust fund account to cover the co-payment, the co-payment will be “charged” until sufficient funds are in your account. Medication is dispensed by medical personnel. It is your responsibility to respond to and not miss medication calls. If you have been prescribed medication, you must report to medication call. Inmates may not hoard medication or provide medications to other inmates.

No inmate will be refused any treatment for financial reasons. If the account of any inmate is indigent, or the inmate is unable to pay the fee for necessary health services, such services will still be provided to the inmate.

Religious Activities

Chaplain Jason Hines

The Caldwell County Detention Center Chaplaincy Program offers a variety of religious services to satisfy the beliefs of most major faith groups confined at the Detention Center. Services are available to inmates based on the inmate’s needs and desire to participate.

Chaplains and volunteers are prohibited from making phone calls on behalf of or passing any notes, letters, contraband or unauthorized property to, from, or between any inmates. Inmates are prohibited from using chaplains and volunteers to circumvent the grievance program or mail system. Religious services and visitations are held throughout the week. Bibles and other religious materials are available from the chaplain upon request.

The Caldwell County Detention Center will not restrict the religious belief of any inmate but reserves the right to restrict certain religious practices, literature, or materials that violate Detention Center rules or otherwise threatens the safety, security, order, or sanitation of the Detention Center. Inmates are expected to show respect to the jail ministers while they are in the Detention Center. Inmates do not have to participate in any ministry service. If they do not want to attend, they may stay in their cell and remain quiet. No inmate is allowed to touch or place their hands on any jail ministry member for any reason whatsoever. No inmates will be allowed to use the phones, take showers, walk around the dayrooms, play games, or talk loudly by disturbing the ministry group while they are in the blocks. Any inmate that cannot show respect while other inmates are trying to listen to the jail ministry volunteers will be moved to a different location for temporary housing. The Detention Lieutenant will not tolerate disrespectful behavior toward any outside visitors that come into the facility.

Inmate Grievance Procedure

Inmates may use the Inmate Grievance Procedure for legitimate problems, complaints, or concerns. The Detention Center may, through the inmate grievance process, grant variances to facility rules and procedures, and can recommend that Caldwell County reimburse inmates for legitimate damages, expenses, or injuries. At this time Grievances are processed electronically on the kiosk machines located in each housing unit.

Complaints or suggestions should be politely directed to a detention officer or detention supervisor (usually a Sergeant). If a detention officer or supervisor does not resolve the situation to your satisfaction, you may fill out a Grievance Form. It must be filed within seven days of the incident. Inmates may submit ONLY one grievance at a time and must wait until that grievance is answered before submitting another. Under normal circumstances, you will receive a written answer to your grievance within ten days, sooner when possible. You may appeal the Grievance Officer’s decision by filing an appeal on the kiosk machine following the usual procedures.

Inmate Worker (Trustee) Program

Inmate worker (Trustee) status is reserved for inmates with exemplary jail records. Inmate workers are generally assigned to the kitchen, janitorial, or laundry duty. Inmate work is hard physical labor requiring that workers be capable of performing the essential functions of the assigned job.

To be eligible for inmate worker status, an inmate must have a clean institutional disciplinary record and/or be assigned to Minimum Custody housing for at least seven days, and be willing and able to work. Sentenced inmates with thirty or more days have priority, but any Minimum Custody inmate may volunteer. The Detention Lieutenant and Shift Sergeants will select inmate workers from a list of volunteers.

Minimum-custody inmates may volunteer for inmate worker status by submitting a request to the Detention Lieutenant and Shift Sergeants. Since there is generally a waiting list, you will be notified when you are selected. The Detention Lieutenant will determine if you are eligible to receive credit days for working as a Trustee.

CRV or DWI Inmates will not get any trustee credit days.

Inmates serving 10 days or less will serve hour / hour and min / min.

11 days or more can be released at 8 am the day of release with credit days.

Until the hearing is conducted, the inmate may be placed in Administrative Segregation.
