Custody Division Manual 5-06/050.00
INDIVIDUAL INMATE STORAGE OF PERSONAL EFFECTS
All inmates within any Custody Division facility shall store all personal and county issued property (with the exception of their sheet and blanket) in a "new generation inmate property bag." The inmate property bags will be issued at the inmate's first housing location. Inmates are responsible for their issued inmate property bag and all of its contents.
All inmate property bags shall be subject to search and inspection at any time. The inmate property bag shall be retained by the inmate, and returned to department personnel at the time of their release.
All personal property possessed by any inmate must conform with Custody Division Manual, section 5-06/010.00, "Allowable Inmate Property," and must be stored in the inmate property bag. All personal property and county property (excluding bedding) must fit inside one inmate property bag. Any excess property will be considered contraband. The inmate shall be given the choice of which property they wish to dispose of without compensation. The only exception applies to Pro-Per inmates, in which case, they may be issued an additional inmate property bag(s) to store their legal paperwork. Unit commanders are responsible for developing and implementing procedures for the disposition of accumulated inmate property which exceeds the limits of inmate allowable property and constitutes contraband.
Excess property, within the housing areas, creates a possible fire hazard; impacts already crowded living areas; and has the potential to create sanitation and hygiene problems. Facilities shall not forward excess inmate property to the Inmate Reception Center to be placed into an inmate's personal property.
