Inmates are restricted in the type of personal property they may possess while incarcerated in the Correctional Facility. They may keep their underclothing and socks which they have on when they enter the jail, provided they are white.

Strip Search

Inmates will generally be stripped and searched upon their arrival at the institution from court, other institutions, or from any other place where they may have come in contact with the public. When inmates are apprehended after an escape, attempted escape or hideout, they will also be given a strip search. There may be other occasions for a strip search, such as before they are admitted to confinement or at any time when they are suspected of carrying contraband.

When a strip search is to be made the inmate will remove all clothing, place it in a pile, then move away from it a few paces. The search will include hair, ears and mouth (dentures to be removed). The entire body will then be checked including armpits, hands, pubic region, between the toes, soles of the feet, rectum and inner portions of the legs.

The Correctional Facility

will serve as a maximum security prison for the inmates. One of the first stops into the prison will be this room where the inmate will disrobe, go through delousing and then go to showers before getting into his prison issued clothing.
