IF YOU ARE ASSIGNED A POST THAT REQUIRES YOU TO CARRY THE MK-4 PEPPER
THE POST.
INTRODUCTION:
Every Lieutenant must read and sign the Post Orders prior to assuming
the duties of this position or as soon as practicable after assuming
duties of the post. This is a supervisory position involving the
direct supervision and evaluation of Correctional Officers assigned
to the Correctional Services Department, the overall supervision
of the Institutions in the absence of the Warden, Associate Warden,
and the Captain, you will investigate all incidents, roster
assignments, the scheduling of leave, ordering of supplies,
supervision of the Special Housing Unit, the collection of urine,
administering of alcohol sensor tests, sanitation within the inmate
housing areas and in general. You are an advisor to the Captain
on matters pertaining to security of the facility. As the Operations
Lieutenant, you are directly responsible for the security and the
orderly running of the institution as it relates to custodial matters.
On the Evening and Morning Watches, you shall assume direct
responsibility for all phases of the institution operations.
To accomplish these tasks, you must be well versed in current Bureau
of Prisons Program Statements, Institutional Supplements,
Correctional Services Manual, local policies and procedures. You
must have a good working knowledge of all departments within the
institution and functions of Unit Management. You must carry a radio
at all times and respond to any and all emergencies or requests for
assistance. Report any serious incidents that occur during non-duty
hours to the Captain and Institution Duty Officer.
All staff (including sick and annual reliefs) assigned to an OC
aerosol dispenser post will receive the required training, and go
through quarterly re-familiarization training prior to assuming
their post each quarter. Training will include, but is not limited
to, proper carry and security of an OC aerosol dispenser, use of
force policy and the definition between immediate and calculated
use of force. These post orders will be read prior to working
designated posts or when this cannot be accomplished, the shift
Lieutenant must be notified immediately. The Operations Lieutenant
will ensure staff have read, understand and signed the post orders.
Staff will be held responsible for guidance outlined in national
and local policies, post orders, position descriptions, and general
guidance issued related to posts designated with an OC aerosol
dispenser. Officers and Lieutenants who have not received OC
specialty training are not authorized to carry an OC aerosol
dispenser.

If you believe you need additional training or unfamiliar with the
OC aerosol dispenser, notify the Operations Lieutenant immediately.
A post assigned with an OC aerosol dispenser is in addition to
emergency response plans already in place. Local written procedures
will continue to be in effect and the OC aerosol dispenser is an
enhancement in staff and inmate safety, included in these post orders.
These procedures will outline steps to be taken in case immediate
force is required as a result of a serious assault, recreation yard
incidents, or other serious incidents during all shifts. Trained
officers can use immediate force without the presents of a supervisor.
Once you have assumed your position/post, check the OC aerosol
dispenser, along with the other equipment assigned to the post, for
any defects. In the event there are defects or leakage to the OC
aerosol dispenser, notify the Operations Lieutenant and/or the
Security Officer, and record it in TRUSCOPE.
In the event of an accidental discharge, decontaminate yourself and
notify the Operations Lieutenant. Once you have decontaminated
yourself with soap and water and notified the Operations Lieutenant,
decontaminate the affected area with soap and water, and ventilation
if possible.
The usage of an OC aerosol dispenser must be limited to the performance
of official duties only. Staff are again reminded that use of the
OC aerosol dispenser outside established policies and procedures
will result in staff disciplinary action.
The preferred method of resolution is through verbal intervention.
However, the safety of staff and inmates in any dangerous encounter
is paramount and may require the use of an OC aerosol dispenser.
Staff may use the necessary amount of force only as a last alternative
after all other reasonable efforts to resolve the situation have
failed. Staff may use the necessary amount of force to gain control
of the inmate, to protect and ensure the safety of inmates, staff
and others, to prevent serious property damage, and to ensure
institution security and good order.
The OC aerosol dispenser must be carried in an approved holder,
leather/nylon belt loop holster, specifically designed to hold an
OC aerosol dispenser. No other method of carrying the OC aerosol
dispenser is authorized, i.e., cargo pocket.
The full cone spray has an effective range of 10 to 12 feet but should
not be used closer than 4 feet.

In the event the OC aerosol dispenser is required the following steps
should be used:
1.
Fingers of the drawing hand should be extended and firmly
gripping the aerosol dispenser.
2.
Staff should assume an appropriate defensive stance and continue
with verbal commands.
3.
Place thumb on the actuator.
4.
Spray the facial area, specifically the eyes, delivering one
two-second burst. Once the OC aerosol spray has been dispensed,
staff should step back to avoid being contaminated by the spray
and maintain direct supervision of the inmate(s). Continue
with verbal commands.
5.
Allow the OC aerosol spray to work while providing verbal
commands to the inmate (e.g., lay face down with arms spread).
6.
Evaluate the response of the inmate(s). If the inmate(s) does
not submit to restraints and/or comply with staff orders within
15 seconds, a second two-second burst is authorized. After
a second assessment, or if the inmate(s) has not complied with
staff commands, alternative methods to control the situation
may be pursued.
7.
Decontamination procedures include fresh air and the use of
soap and water within 15 minutes, or as soon as possible, after
OC aerosol spray has been applied. Normally, this is done
before the medical assessment.
8.
Once the OC aerosol spray is used and the inmate(s) is in
restraints, Health Services staff will be notified immediately.
A medical assessment will be performed to determine if the
inmate(s) sustained any injuries.
9.
When an immediate use of force is necessary (e.g., involving
serious bodily harm, etc.), staff are obligated to obtain a
camera and begin recording the event as soon as it is feasible.
As soon as control of the situation has been obtained staff
must record information on: circumstances that required the
need for immediate use of force; identification of the
inmate(s); injuries; and staff, and others involved. (See PS
5566.06, Use of Force and Application of Restraints).
A reasonable correctional workers perception of the events would
govern the use of the OC aerosol dispenser in situations which require
an immediate response to an emergency situation. The Warden should
be notified as soon as possible after any such use. Documentation
is to be submitted in accordance with the Program Statement Use of
Force and Application of Restraints. Oleoresin Capsicum delivery
systems are authorized to be used for immediate response to situations
in which an inmate cannot be approached without danger to self or
others; and it is determined that a delay in bringing the situation
under control would constitute a serious danger to the inmate or
others.

Ensure the OC aerosol dispenser is properly fastened to your duty
belt and firmly secured inside the holster. When confronting an
inmate position your body so the OC aerosol dispenser faces away
from the inmate, maintain a safe distance, and continue with verbal
commands.
Any Lieutenant may be required to assist the Operations and Activities
Lieutenant at various times throughout the shift should a procedural
problem or emergency situation arise. Because of this, all
Lieutenants are to be familiar with the information contained in
the Post Orders for those posts. The following list of action should
be utilized as a guide when responding to emergency situations.
CELL SEARCHES:
The Operations Lieutenant will ensure that each unit officer does
shakedown at a minimum five (5) inmate cells during their shift on
Day Watch and Evening Watch. The Morning Watch Officer will conduct
five (5) area/cell shakedowns. Shakedowns are to be noted in the
shakedown portion of the TRUSCOPE program.
UNIFORMS:
Lieutenants are required and expected to set examples in the proper
wearing of the prescribed uniform. They are also required to ensure
that the correctional officers assigned to their shift are in the
prescribed uniform.
Lieutenants are responsible for the continuous review of Post Orders.
The Captain will assign the revision of Post Orders to the
Lieutenants. It will be your responsibility to submit suggestions
for changes to the Captain prior to the review deadline. All
correctional officers are required to read and signify by their
signature that they have read and understand the Post Orders for
their post prior to each quarter change and each time they assume
a new post. Other correctional staff assigned to work correctional
posts will read and sign post orders prior to assuming the specific
post.
Procedures have been written and compiled in binders commonly
referred to as Emergency Plans. These procedures cover escapes,
riots, civil disturbances, etc. All lieutenants and staff will be
familiar with these procedures. There are also Program Statements
and Institutional Supplements dealing with other emergencies. They
will be thoroughly read and understood. The officers assigned to
the Main Control Center should also be well versed in these plans.

Fire prevention is the responsibility of all staff members.
Lieutenants should be constantly on the alert for fire hazards.

DURESS CODES:
A duress code system has been devised for use at the Front Lobby,
Rear Gate, and Outside Patrols. This duress code will be a word
or sentence that can be interjected into normal radio traffic that
would alert the Control Center and Lieutenants Office that the staff
member was under duress and an emergency situation was occurring.
In order to ensure that all staff have a thorough knowledge of the
duress codes and proper procedures, the Operations Lieutenant will
question staff and conduct occasional tests of the system.
The EPO Lieutenant will be responsible for generating and
implementing the duress codes on a quarterly basis or immediately
upon the compromise of the duress code. The EPO Lieutenant is
responsible for developing the Contingency Plans as they pertain
to this institution. All factors must be analyzed and thoroughly
examined when developing the best plan of action. Emergency Plans
must take into account any and all uncertainties, such as weather
conditions, staff and inmate locations throughout the institution
and surrounding buildings.
The following staff will be notified following any incident
occurring, and/or medical emergency requiring transportation of the
inmate to outside hospital services other than normal duty hour.
•
Captain
•
Associate Warden(P)
•
Institution Duty Officer
In addition to teaching the I.F. classes to new staff, the Admin.
Lieutenant will be required to document all training that new
correctional officers are receiving. The Administrative Lieutenant
will also be responsible to develop the Performance Logs, along with
all appropriate forms, for the probationary officers. Entries in
these logs will be made by the Administrative Lieutenant.
CORRECTIONAL OFFICER'S EVALUATIONS:
A file containing a Performance Log for each employee supervised
by a Lieutenant will be maintained in the Admin Lieutenant's Office,
the log will be filled out quarterly and will reflect the officer's
performance as it relates to the various performance bench marks
outlined and described in the position standards issued to each
officer. The log will also be used to record unusual events such
as substandard performance, special acts or any other unusual
activities by the officer of either positive or negative performance.
Each shift the contents of the secured locker in the lobby area will
be inventoried. If there are any discrepancies, they will be brought
to the attention of the Captain and the Security Officer immediately.

Each shift the contents of the sub-armory located in the Rear Gate
will be inventoried. If there are any discrepancies, they will be
brought to the attention of the Captain and the Security Officer
immediately.
Only the Warden or his designee, has the authority to approve the
use of chemical agents or the Pepper Ball Chemical Dispensing
Launcher. However, the shift Lieutenant may authorize the use of
chemical agents, Pepper ball Dispensers or OC in situations which
require an immediate response to an emergency, where sufficient time
does not exist to secure higher level approval. The Warden should
be notified as soon as possible. A limited supply of immediate
response chemical agents are maintained in the Control Center.
In the event the Control Room Officer should become incapacitated,
a emergency key ring for Control is located in the front lobby safe.
All MCC New York Lieutenants and Outside Patrol Officer have the
access code for this safe. In the event of that the Control Center
Officer becomes incapacitated, the following procedures will be
followed:
•
The Operations/Activities Lieutenant will respond to the Front
Lobby area and retrieve the emergency keys that are maintained

If the Operations/Activities Lieutenant are unable to reach
the wall safe they will notify the OP Officer should something
occur during hours the lobby is not manned that a condition
exists involving the Control Center Officer. The
Operations/Activities Lieutenant will advise the OP officer
so that he/she can retrieve the emergency keys to enter the
Control Center. The Outside Patrol Officer will retrieve the
combination which is located in the outside booth and open the
safe.
Only the Warden or his designee, has the authority to approve the
use of chemical agents or the Pepper Ball Chemical Dispensing
Launcher. However, the shift Lieutenant may authorize the use of
chemical agents, Pepper ball Dispensers or OC in situations which
require an immediate response to an emergency, where sufficient time
does not exist to secure higher level approval. The Warden should
be notified as soon as possible. A limited supply of immediate
response chemical agents are maintained in the Control Center.

USE OF FORCE
If a Use of Force is determined to be necessary, and other means
of gaining control of an inmate are deemed inappropriate or
ineffective, then the Use of Force Team Technique shall be used to
control the inmate and to apply to include ambulatory leg restraints.
The Use of Force Team Technique ordinarily involves a Lieutenant,
trained staff, clothed in protective gear, who enter the inmate's
area in tandem, each with a coordinated responsibility for helping
achieve immediate control of the inmate. Calculated rather than
immediate use of force is desirable in all instances corrections
workers encounter. Although this is not always possible, Lieutenants
must use common sense and good correctional judgment in each incident
to determine whether the situation allows for the implementation
of calculated or immediate use of force procedures.
The Captain will assign Lieutenant's to conduct perpetual audits
of all Correctional Service areas of responsibility, to ensure that
policy and procedures that relate to the security of the institution
are adhered to. The Correctional Services Manual and established
audit guidelines will be used as a guide to conduct these audits.
DAILY ROSTERS:
Daily Rosters will be maintained by the Administrative Lieutenant.
The primary responsibility for the Correctional Services Roster will
be the Administrative Lieutenant's. The Administrative Lieutenant
will prepare Change Sheets for each week to reflect sick & annual
assignments, authorized leave, training and any other assignment
changes. All special requests will be given to the Administrative
Lieutenant for appropriate action and notification of staff.
Ordinarily rosters will be prepared at least fourteen days in
advance. All Lieutenants are responsible to make any changes in
the roster occurring on their shift.
Inmates will be treated by the institution hospital as directed by
current policy and procedure. When the institution hospital staff
are not available at the institution, medical emergencies will be
handled by the Operations Lieutenant, if the situation permits
contact the duty physician for guidance, if the emergency appears
to be life threatening dial 911 and request EMS. If an emergency
medical trip is necessary, you are responsible to review SENTRY to
determine relevant information concerning the inmate's custody level
and history so that you may assign staff to conduct the escorted
trip. Additionally, you will prepare the escorted trip authorization.
Notify the Captain and Duty Officer as soon as possible.

COUNTS:
All Lieutenants are responsible for ensuring that counts are properly
taken and reported. Furthermore, one count will be taken by a
Lieutenant and this will be noted in the Daily Log.
LIEUTENANT'S LOG:
The Operations Lieutenants Log will be prepared at the close of each
shift. All three shifts Lieutenant's Log will contain a
chronological listing of important events occurring on the shift.
Additionally, the Log will contain a recap of the institutions
population and will also reflect changes to the institutional count
as they occur. You will monitor all paperwork coming into the
Lieutenants Office to ensure it is complete, accurate and is of an
acceptable quality before it is filed or forwarded to the Captain
for review. If necessary, you will return it to staff and assist
staff in the proper completion.
TRUSCOPE and Log Books are maintained in all units, and it is the
responsibility of the Unit Officers to maintain this log and enter
all pertinent information concerning their areas of responsibility.
It should be strongly emphasized that TRUSCOPE and any log books
are official documents which could be entered as evidence in a court
of law. When making tours of units, log onto TRUSCOPE and document
your presence. Any other Logbook will be signed by the lieutenant
touring the unit, and the TRUSCOPE will be checked to ensure that
entries are clear, concise, legible, accurate and professional.
Incident Reports will be investigated by the Operations Lieutenant
and/or the Activities Lieutenant. The Program Statement dealing
with Inmate Discipline will be strictly followed in dealing with
the discipline of inmates to assure the orderly running of the
institution. All incident reports will be thoroughly investigated
and conclusions and recommendations should be made to assist the
UDC/DHO in making decisions that promote the orderly running of the
institution.
A Lieutenant will be positioned in the first floor sallyport adjacent
to Control during the following hours: 7:45 A.M.- 8:30 A.M. and 3:45-
4:30 P.M.. This is done to ensure that all individuals leaving the
institution are identified as being a staff member or they are
authorized to leave.

once per day. This check will be documented in the Metal Detector
Log. Any malfunctions will be reported to the Captain and to the
Facilities Manager so that repairs may be accomplished as soon as
possible
HOSTAGES:
Officers should under no circumstances take orders from, heed the
instructions of, or otherwise act under the direction of any person
who their judgment leads them to believe, might be a hostage or acting
under duress. By way of explanation, an Official or Supervisory
Officer, be the Warden or any other, maybe considered to be in charge
of the institution if he is the highest ranking Official on the
premises and is a free agent acting as his judgment directs. Should
this individual be acting under duress, having been taken as a hostage
or because of threats of bodily harm, his orders should be
disregarded. The matter should be referred to a higher, or next
highest official available who is able to act under his own
initiative.
SANITATION:
Each Operations Lieutenant is responsible for the sanitation of the
institution. The Day Watch Lieutenant will ensure that formal
inspections are conducted each day, Monday thru Friday, informal
inspections on weekends, and holidays. The areas of concern are the
1st Floor Sallyport, Visiting Room, Front Lobby and all outside public
areas. You will ensure only those inmates assigned to these specific
work areas are allowed to work the areas.
SHAKEDOWNS:
Shakedowns are the responsibility of all shifts. It is the
responsibility of the Operations Lieutenant to ensure that shakedowns
are conducted in a timely and proper manner. The shakedown log in
the units will be reviewed daily to ensure that entries are being
made properly.

INTRODUCTION;
The General Post Orders are designed to aid each
Correctional Officer in understanding the correctional
philosophy of the Bureau of Prisons, and as a basic guide to the
policy and operations within your facility. It should be
emphasized that these post orders are not intended to be a
substitute for Bureau of Prisons policy, and should not be
interpreted as such. The primary purpose is to provide the
Correctional Officer with a general review of correctional
procedures and serve as a resource to locate more detailed and
specific information. Although the information in the General
Post Orders is not classified, it will be treated as
"Restricted". Caution should be exercised to assure that this
material is not disseminated to unauthorized persons.
All necessary articles of Officer's
clothing are issued without cost, (uniform allowance). It is
the officer's responsibility to present a neat, professional
appearance at all times. Only authorized Bureau of Prisons
clothing is approved for wear while on duty of any post. If you
wear a blazer, or a long sleeve shirt, you are required to wear
a tie. Shoes should be shined at all times.
The posted is picture file is reserved for
inmates considered as serious escape risks, sexually deviant, or
who have a record of extreme assaultive behavior, etc. Inmates
will be placed on this status by the SIS Department. Officers
are required to review and sign this file on a monthly basis in
order to be familiar with these inmates; especially those
assigned to their work details or housing units. The Electronic
Posted Picture Files are located on the sally port Bop Ware
Program for MCC New York.
POST ORDERS:
Post Orders are general instructions designed to
aid the Correctional Officer in the daily operation of each
custodial post. Each officer should review the Post Orders,
prior to assuming the post for the first time, during a quarter.
The Master File of the Post Orders are maintained in the
Lieutenants' Offices. A copy of the Post Orders shall also be
.kept on site, if adequate facilities are available to prohibit
offenders from having access to them. Post Orders are to be
treated as "Confidential" and kept secured and away from inmates
at all times. No changes will be made to the post orders without
authorization from the Captain.

EMERGENCY PLAN IMPLEMENTATION: Each officer is required to
review the fifteen basic emergency plans which are located in
the Command Center. Each staff member is required to sign
indicating they have reviewed the contingency plans for the
year. During emergency situations, officers assigned to a
specific area are responsible for the accountability of all
inmates and staff in their areas unless otherwise directed.
EMERGENCY WARNING SYSTEMS: The Control Center serves as the
central receiving area for emergency warnings. The Control
Center Officer will immediately notify the correctional
supervisor and other authorized officials in order to summon
help to the designated areas.
*Any person held hostage shall be considered under duress, and
any orders issued by such person, regardless of rank, and
including the Warden, shall be disregarded.
TELEPHONE "222": This number is a system for reporting
emergencies at the institution. Whenever possible, remain on
the line to relay necessary information to the Control Center.
If a situation occurs that makes it impractical to remain on the
line, be sure the telephone is ringing the Control Center before
leaving the immediate area. This number also rings into the
Correctional Supervisor's Office. The "222" telephone system
will be tested weekly.
BODY ALARMS: "Body Alarms" should be considered only as an
auxiliary to the emergency alarm system telephone number 222,
and do not supersede the dial alarm if a telephone is convenient
or appropriate to use. Only the "general area," e.g., specific
unit, can be determined by the Control Center when this alarm is
used. Officers will not tamper with or attempt to repair the
transmitter units. The body alarm tests will be conducted in the
following manner. The Control Center Officer will contact the
staff member with the body alarm advising them that a body alarm
test is being conducted. The Control Room Officer will verify
the body alarm number and direct the staff member to activate
the body alarm by depressing the red button located at the top
of the unit. Once the test has been successful the Control Room
Officer will advise the staff member that the test was a good
test, and advise them to clear the alarm and conduct a radio
test. After performing this procedure the unit is now ready to
receive radio transmissions and send an alarm to summon staff
assistance if needed.

WATCH CALLS: The watch call is an official report that
everything on an officer's post is secure and in good order.
Watch calls are made every thirty (30) minutes from 6:00 p.m. to
6:00 a.m. All officers should identify the watch call, and state
his/her name and post. Watch calls will be made between the
hours of 6:00PM and 6:00AM by dialing "333" using the telephone.
EQUIPMENT:
Equipment needed varies with each assignment and is
outlined in the individual Post Orders. Generally, equipment
issued will be a combination of keys, portable radio, and detail
pouch. A flashlight is required during the evening and morning
watch shifts.
• Flashlight: Flashlights and batteries are issued as needed
from the Control Center and are receipted by key chits.
All morning watch and evening watch officers are required
to have a flashlight as part of the equipment for the post.
Flashlights remaining on the unit need not be receipted for
with key chits. Replacement batteries are available from
the Security Officers, on an exchange basis.
• Radios: Radios are for employee use only. Employee using
portable units normally identify themselves by stating
their name and/or location/job assignment. Radios are
issued by the Control Center and are receipted for with a
key chit. Officers will have a radio only when specific
assignments require its use. For emergencies, portable
radios provide a direct contact with the Control Center.
• Keys: Keys issued to employees will be receipted by metal
key chits. Only the necessary keys to work a specific job
or assignment will be issued. Officers carrying keys away
from the institution will be instructed to return them
immediately. Employees are responsible for the number of
keys included in any set issued to them and will never
remove keys from the set. Upon receipt of keys, each
employee has the responsibility to count the number of keys
on each set.

• Detail Pouches: Each employee in charge of a detail assumes
responsibility for the custody, control and conduct of all
inmates assigned to his/her detail. Both Unit Officers and
those staff members having details will pick up their
detail pouches prior to reporting to their assignment, and
are responsible for turning them in at the end of the
working day.
• Body Alarm: Unit Officers assigned to posts with body alarms
are required to carry the body alarm on their
person on
every shift. If an individual is relieved from a post that
is assigned a body alarm, the relieving officer will be
given the body alarm to carry. Normally, body alarms will
not be removed or carried from the post to which assigned
but should it become necessary, the Control Center MUST be
contacted and the staff member given authorization to move
with the body alarm. The purpose of this is to allow the
unit Officer to be in constant communication with the
Control Center. A check of all issued units for proper
functioning will be made at the beginning of every shift.
Further instructions in the utilization of these
transmitters will be explained in the Chapter entitled
Emergency Procedures.
KEY CHITS:
Metal key chits are used as receipts for obtaining
most equipment that you will be using. Replacement chits are
available through the Security Officer. Key chits will not be
left in the Control Center at the end of the work day, or upon
return of the equipment. Paper tags/Paper chits utilized as key
chits are not authorized. Use of any items other that a metal
key chit will be subject to the approval of the OPS LT.
Temporary Chits can be obtained from the Lieutenants' Office

the Operations Lieutenant. Detail supervisors will screen
carefully all individual inmate requests to leave their assigned
area. This would include requests to go to the hospital and
other areas and departments at times other than regularly
scheduled for the department activity. Ensure that inmates in
your area are authorized to be there and require those under
your supervision to remain in their area. Allow inmates on
scheduled call-outs ample time (Approx. 10 minutes) so they may
arrive at the calling department at the time specified.
INCIDENT REPORT: Informal resolution of incidents involving
violations of institutional rules or regulations is encouraged.
However, when an officer witnesses or has a reason to believe
that a violation of institutional rules has been committed by an
inmate, the officer will prepare an incident report and forward
it to the appropriate correctional supervisor. The correctional
supervisor may informally resolve of the incident report or
forward the incident report to the Unit Disciplinary Committee
for further disposition if indicated. As these reports can be
subpoenaed into court as legal evidence, all reports must be
printed in ink or typed.
• INVESTIGATION: The investigations should be conducted
within 24 hours from the time the violation is detected,
unless circumstances beyond the control of the investigator
intervene. The investigating officer will usually be a
Lieutenant. The inmate will be given a copy of the
incident report by the investigating officer at the
beginning of the investigation. The investigator should
also read the charges.to the inmate and obtain the inmate's
statement concerning the incident. After thoroughly
investigating the incident, the inmate does not receive a
copy of the investigation. However, should the case be
forwarded to the Unit Disciplinary Committee, ultimately,
the investigation may be given to the inmate's staff
representative for use in the presentation on the inmate's
behalf.

disposition and sanction shall be delegated to staff
members of an inmate's unit. The Unit Manager will be
responsible for the membership and supervision of thee Unit
Disciplinary Committee (UDC) as set forth in the Unit Plan.
The UDC should function with no less than two (2) members,
one of which is either the inmate's Case Manager or
Counselor. Where an alleged violation of institution rules
or regulations warrants consideration for other than a
minor sanction, the charge may be referred to the
Disciplinary Hearing Officer for hearing and disposition.
• DISCIPLINARY HEARING OFFICER (OHO): The DHO shall conduct
hearings and make findings, and may impose appropriate
sanctions on incidents of inmate misconduct referred to
him/her for disposition.
• OFFICER RESPONSIBILITY: All Correctional Officers should
make a concentrated effort to ensure that incident reports
contain the precise details of action(s) being reported.
All facts about the incident which are known by the officer
should be recorded. If there is anything unusual about the
inmate's behavior, this should be noted. Completed
incident reports should be forwarded to the Lieutenants'
Office as soon as practical for disposition. Further
information can be found in Program Statement 5270.07
Administrative Remedies are formal
complaints submitted by inmates concerning problems they were
unable to resolve through normal channels. The inmate is to
request the Remedy Form (BP-8, BP-9, BP-10) from the Unit Team.
It is returned to the Unit Team for processing.
All staff members must be
familiar with the Inmate Discipline Program Statement. The rules
and regulations must be adhered to, with firm but fair tactics
used. You may at times be able to correct an inmate without
writing an incident report. However, if the inmate's violation
of the institution's rules and regulations is of a serious
nature, an incident report must be written.

PURPOSE OF INSPECTIONS: Security inspections are necessary to
control the introduction of contraband and prevent escapes. One
of the chief duties of the Chief Correctional Supervisor is to
establish a formalized plan of inspections that will cover every
part of the institution at least once a week. In general, these
inspections include doors, locking devices, fire extinguishers,
grills, windows, building walls, perimeter walls, etc.
Inspections are required even if no discrepancies are found the
day prior. All staff will conduct inspections within their area
of responsibility for contraband and security violations. The
staff will report any discrepancies to the OPS LT, and prepare a
Minor Work Request to correct the concern. Staff responsible
for their department will initial the security inspection form
located by the control centers indicating they have checked
their area of responsibility.
SEARCHING INMATES: The human body can serve as a potential
hiding place for contraband. For that reason, it may become
necessary to strip and search an inmate at various times.
Further information regarding the proper techniques for
searching an individual can be found in institution policy and
the Correctional Services Manual. In order to prevent the
introduction of contraband, routine and unscheduled searches of
inmate's person, housing units, work areas, or other facilities
used or frequented by inmates must be conducted. This will
include thorough searches of inmate's clothing, personal
property at the time of admission; searches of inmate's person
and quarters when it is suspected he/she is concealing
contraband; his/her place of work, recreation areas on a routine
or unscheduled basis as directed by supervising personnel. Such
searches may be initiated on an individual inmate basis, or mass
searches may be ordered when contraband is suspected of being in
the possession of unknown individuals.
Pat Searches:

Pat searches will be conducted on a routine basis solely as a
means to control contraband. Before a pat search is conducted,
the inmate will be asked to remove any head gear and the
contents out of his/her pockets. The head gear and personal
effects will be inspected after removal and placed out of reach
from the inmate. A staff member will search the female inmate's
chest area using the back of the hand. Pat searches of the male
inmate and the rest of the female inmate will be done with the
inside, (palm and fingers), of the hand. The pat search will be
conducted according to the procedure described on the approved
Bureau pat search video tape.
Visual: All inmates entering the institution from court,
transfers or trips out in the community, will be visually
searched (strip searched), and screened with the hand held metal
detector. Inmates will also be visually searched when leaving
the institution for any reason, including release. A thorough
search of the inmate's clothing will be completed. Except in
emergency situations, all strip searches will be conducted by a
staff member of the same sex as the inmate. At least one male
and one female staff will be available 24 hours a day to conduct
visual searches.
CONTROL OF CONTRABAND: Each officer should make a concentrated
effort to make frequent searches of living quarters, utility
corridors, and other areas in order to eliminate contraband,
giving special attention to items which might be used in an
escape attempt.
Contraband may be best defined as any item or article inside the
institution that was not issued by the institution, purchased in
the commissary, purchased through approved channels, or approved
by an appropriate staff member.

recorded on the Confiscation and Disposition of Contraband form
and should accompany the confiscated articles.
SEARCHING INMATE LIVING QUARTERS: When making a search of an
inmate's living quarters, each officer should make sure that
nothing is destroyed in the process. Officers should make every
effort to return all articles to their place, excepting things
which are determined to be contraband and are removed.

All inmate movement in MCC New York is supervised by staff
members. There are serious security and safety concerns
regarding the inmates housed in MCC New York and their CIMS
status. An inmate's CIMS status is confidential and will not be
shared with any inmate(s). The unit separations roster is a
sensitive, confidential item which must be safeguarded at all
times. The various inmate programs at MCC New York are
scheduled by floors. This has been arranged to provide the
inmates with a safe and secure environment during the
appropriate program. This also alleviates the CIMS concerns for
each program. The institution has determined separatees will not
be housed on the same unit, therefore the programs should be
clear of all separatees. It is the Unit Officer's responsibility
to ensure all inmates are checked for CIMS concerns prior to any
escort off of the unit. The Unit Officer will check the Unit
separations roster to ascertain if the inmate's name appears on
the roster. Ensure all inmates are checked for CIMS concerns
prior to any escort off of the unit. The Unit Officer will check

Inmates must be properly cleared by the Unit Officer and
requesting staff member prior to any escort. The requesting
staff member must clear all inmate movement to their area with
the C&A Officer at extension 5123. The C&A Officer must clear
the inmate prior to the inmate departing from his/her assigned
housing unit. The Unit Officer must also clear the inmate with
the C&A Officer prior to allowing any inmate to depart from the
unit. Even though, the Hospital Officer or the Visiting Room
may be clearing the inmate(s), it is the Unit Officer's ultimate
responsibility to ensure the inmate has been properly cleared.
The Unit Officer must review the Unit Separations roster and
check for the inmate's name and register number on the roster.
If the inmate's name does not appear, the inmate is cleared for
movement, and you do not need to contact the C&A Officer. If
the inmate's name does appear on the Separations roster, the
Unit Officer must contact the C&A Officer at extension 6468 and
clear the inmate prior to allowing the inmate to depart from the
unit.
Inmates must be properly identified and pat searched prior to
departing from the housing unit. Every inmate must carry on
their person the institution identification card. This is the
means staff utilize to properly identify the inmate. It is the
Unit Officer's responsibility to ensure the inmate has his/her
identification card on his/her person prior to departing from
the unit. The number of inmates escorted at one time on the
elevator is directly related to the number of staff available to
conduct the escort. One staff member can escort ten (10)
inmates in the elevator at one time. Anything more than ten,
(1O), inmates in the elevator causes security and safety
concerns. During Inmate Visiting, the Intern Officers and the
Activities Officers will assist the Visiting Officers in
escorting inmates to and from the Visiting Rooms. The number of
inmates escorted through the connecting ling is directly related
to the number of staff available to conduct the escort. Anytime
In-Custody inmates are escorted through the connecting link, two
staff members must be present for the escort. One staff member
positioned at the front of the escort, and the second staff
member positioned to the rear of the escort.
When an inmate is being escorted to or from the Special Housing

Entrance procedures include the control of inmates, employees,
visitors or commercial traffic entering the institution.
Because of the need for a broad knowledge of the institution and
its function, along with a thorough understanding of security
requirements, only those officers with such knowledge will
normally be staffing these posts. Constant contact with the
public requires that these officers display a neatness of
appearance, ability to handle people, tactfulness in enforcing
regulations and alertness in recognizing security hazards.
The Warden will establish the predetermined time frame for
conducting random pat searches. The Captain will document the
predetermined timeframe before beginning the searches. The
Agency will make such documentation concerning searches already
conducted available to the local Union upon written request. An
example of a predetermined timeframe is "Between 7:30 a.m. and
9:00 a.m., on January 1, 2012." There is no required frequency
for conducting authorized random pat searches of staff.
Staff will be given the option of either consenting to random
pat searches as a condition of entry, or refusing such searches
and leaving Bureau grounds. Staff may face adverse employment
consequences for refusing such searches. A staff member
refusing to consent to random pat searches will not be allowed

Detection of Firearms or Dangerous Weapons. If a firearm or
dangerous weapon is detected during x-ray screening, the
screening staff member stops the machine and allows the item to
remain inside the x-ray portion of the scanner. If a firearm or
dangerous weapon is found on the person or belongings being
screened via a walk-through or hand-held metal detector, or
during a pat or visual search, the screening staff member
instructs the person possessing the firearm to step aside and
await the arrival of a supervisor.
IMPORTANT: Staff should not engage in a physical struggle in an
attempt to secure or gain control of a suspected firearm or
other dangerous weapon identified during entrance search
procedures.
During the normal workday, the screening staff member
immediately contacts the Operations Lieutenant who will contact
the Captain And S.I.A. and, after normal duty hours, the
Operations Lieutenant. After the Captain, SIA or Lieutenant
arrives, a digital image or photo of the item is obtained. The
Captain, SIA or Lieutenant removes the item containing the
firearm from the scanner or receives it from the person in
possession. The firearm is placed in a secure area until
processing of the oncoming shift is complete and the lobby is
clear of all persons.
Once the lobby is clear, if the Captain, SIA or Lieutenant is
familiar with the firearm and its operation, he/she makes the
firearm safe using the clearing barrel and standard Bureau
procedures for clearing firearms. If the Captain, SIA or
Lieutenant is unfamiliar or uncomfortable with clearing the
firearm, it is secured as confiscated in a lockable pistol case.
A Chain of Custody Log (BP-A0971) is completed and placed with;l
the lockable pistol case. Tamper-prOof evidence tape is placed
across the seam of the case. If the firearm is stored without
completing a clearing procedure, the outside of the case must be
labeled in large, noticeable letters, "UNCLEARED FIREARM."
The firearm case is then placed in the gun locker used for
emergency escorted trips. When securing the firearm inside the
gun locker, the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction so that it
does not cause damage to property or persons if an unintentional,
discharge were to occur. The lockable pistol ,case is stored in
an area accessible to the Captain, SIA, or Operations Lieutenant
and labeled on the outside "SIS/SIA Only."

Once the weapon is secured and a Chain of Custody Log is
attached, the institution makes a referral to the Federal Bureau
of Investigation (FBI), Office of Internal Affairs (OIA), and
Office of the Inspector General (01G). The weapon remains in
evidence until OIG or other appropriate authority deems it
proper to return to the person. Once ownership has been
determined, and the investigation completed, the weapon is
released to the owner and the disposition noted on the Chain of
Custody Log.
During normal duty hours, all outside inmate details,
(Warehouse, Building 4, Admin Orderlies, etc.,), will depart
from the institution through the Rear Gate. The inmates must be
escorted from the unit by the detail supervisor, using the
inmate elevator. The inmates must be properly identified, one
detail at a time, by the Internal Officer, in the elevator sally
port, utilizing the approved gate passes. Once the inmates have
been positively identified, the Rear Gate Officer will request
for the door leading through the 1 3t floor sally port to the rear
dock. The detail will be further processed by the Rear Gate
Officer. All required information will be recorded in the
appropriate log book. Any work performed in the Rear Gate is
considered outside of the secured perimeter. This means any area
on the rear dock to include, Warehouse, and Trash Compactor. The
Rear Gate Officer will positively identify and properly process
the inmate detail into Rear Sally Port to perform their assigned
work. If needed after normal duty hours, weekends and federal
holidays, the inmate details will be processed through the
Control Center The Operations Lieutenant will designate a staff
member to positively identify the detail, in the elevator sally
port, utilizing the approved gate passes.
VISITING
It is the policy of MCC New York to maintain visiting facilities
for the purpose of maintaining family ties. Because of the
nature of this facility, visits must be conducted under
appropriate supervision so that security is maintained and the
visiting privileges extended to inmates and their families are
clearly communicated. For the purpose of this policy, the term
pre-trial inmate refers to any inmate who is non-cadre,
including holdovers, treaty transfers, BICE detainees, state
inmates, and any designated inmate other than those assigned to
the MCC New York Work Cadre Unit. Staff must be able to verify
the identity of visitors before their admission into the
institution.

Acceptable means of identification are, government-issued
identification, passport, state-issued photo identification
(with a date of issue and expiration) and valid drivers'
license. In cases where visitors do not have a photo
identification, they will be required to have three types of
identification with signatures. These need not be the sole
means of identification. However, identification cards from
quick photo places, and check cashing establishments are not
acceptable forms of identification. Tactful questioning may
clear up doubtful cases. Visitors sixteen (16) and under do not
have to show identification unless of course they appear to be
older. In such cases, if a visitor under the age of sixteen
cannot provide documentation, i.e., a birth certificate (when
requested) to prove relationship and age, the visitor will not
be allowed into the institution.
The following procedures will be in effect regarding authorized
visiting lists. Each inmate will complete a visiting list. The
visiting list will not exceed ten (10) approved visitors for
pre-trial inmates and (12) for cadre inmates. Immediate family
members and two (2) person of "meaning" will be placed on the
visiting list absent strong circumstances that preclude
visiting. Immediate family is defined as mother, father, step-
parents, step-children, foster parents, grand-children,
brothers, sisters, spouse and children. As the situation
presents itself, other non-immediate family members will be
allowed to visit at the approval of the Associate Warden of
Programs (AWP). Further, in circumstances, when an inmate
requests more than ten visitors to be placed on their visiting
list, the Unit Manager will approve / deny any visitor exceeding
the limit.
Attorney visiting can occur 24 hours a day. Attorneys may visit
with their clients (one at a time) in the 3rd Floor Attorney
Conference Room from 6:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. daily. They require
no advance notice.
Official visitors including attorneys, interpreters, law
enforcement personnel, probation officers, volunteers, etc. are
to be searched at the Front Entrance using the "reasonable
assurance standard." All visitors are subjected to random
testing by utilizing the ION Spectrometry Device Program. Random
selection for testing visitors must be conducted in an impartial
and non-discriminatory method. Visitors may be tested out of
random order when reasonable suspicion exists, suggesting the
visitors' possible involvement with illegal substances.

POLICY: It is the policy of the Bureau of Prisons to maintain
proper control of keys and locks at all times. The purpose of
this is to establish procedures for. control and inventory of
institution keys and locks. Further detailed information can be
obtained by referring to BOP Program Statements.
All keys authorized for daily use will be stored on the Control
Center key board when not in use. Sets of keys are identified
by letter and number with the number of keys in that set
indicated. Two listings of key locations identifying active and
emergency keys can be found in the Control Center and in the
office of the Security Officer.
RESTRICTED AND EMERGENCY KEYS: Restricted keys have blue/black
tags on the keyboard in the Control Center. The Watch Supervisor
will be notified when it becomes necessary to draw keys for a

restricted area, such as the commissary, storeroom, etc. The
officer will prepare a Restricted Key Form indicating the
purpose for entering such area. Emergency keys or red-lined
keys will be issued only at the direction of the Warden, Chief
of Correctional Services, Associate Warden, Watch Supervisor or
the Institution Duty Officer. Acting positions may delegate the
drawing of keys for a specific time period via memo through the
Captain.
HANDLING OF KEYS: Keys will be carried on a ring which is
securely fastened to a chain affixed to the belt of the officer.
Discussion of key numbers and reference to their use will be
avoided in the presence of inmates.
Keys should never be
carelessly thrown around, dropped, or left unattended, etc.
Always personally hand the keys to your relief so they remain in
the personal possession of the officer at all times. Each
officer has the responsibility to count the number of keys on
each set to ensure that all keys are present. Inmates will
never be permitted to handle keys designated for employee use at
any time, or under any circumstances. Should an employee take
keys home, the keys must be brought back to the institution
immediately.
• If a key or a set of keys is lost or misplaced, the
officer will immediately report it to the Watch
Supervisor by telephone or in person so that adequate
safeguards may be placed in effect. The area the keys
were last in will be immediately secured and all inmates
in the area will be searched. This will be followed by a

INMATE URINALYSIS PROGRAM: Urine Surveillance and Narcofia
Identification, inmate urine samples will be taken at different
hours (early morning, noon, late evening). Therefore in order
to accomplish this a weekly urinalysis test roster has been
established for all inmates that fall under the random testing
roster. It is critical that when inmates are notified for UA
testing that they are not left unsupervised. They must be
watched from the time of notification until they report for
testing at the Lieutenants Office.
It is also imperative that when conducting a UA test of an
inmate that the subject is also tested for alcohol by using the
Alco-Sensor III
Staff members who are assigned as Sick & Annual for the quarter
will be responsible for conducting U/A testing on the D/W, E/W

Cell assignments will be determined in an methodical manner.
This involves the SHU Lieutenant and OIC, Psychology staff, Unit
Team as well as Investigative staff, in determining suitability
of cellmates for inmates in protective custody and/or sexual
offenders. Most inmates do not like to be housed with sexual
offenders or protective custody inmates. Housing the wrong
inmates with sexual offenders or protective custody inmates, can
lead to serious assaults and/or homicide. Inmates cannot be
allowed to choose their roommates, but it is understood that
some inmates may be better housed with inmates of like
backgrounds/affiliations, than arbitrarily housing the inmates
without considering all variables. As noted earlier, protective
custody and sexual offenders will be screened thoroughly. If
there are no single cells available, this review will be crucial
in minimizing the potential for assault.
HIGH RISK LIST
During the weekly SHU meeting, the Warden will be provided a
list of those inmates who are considered high risk from a
psychological and management stand point. The Captain and Chief
Psychologist should be responsible for generating this list.
This list will be provided to the Lieutenants' office and the
Duty Officers so they are informed should a high risk inmate act
out and be in need of medical/psychological attention.
Additionally, the Captain should inform the Warden of any camera
malfunctions, plumbing problems, or issues that may cause
problems, as well as the corrective actions taken/attempted to
rectify these issues. Inoperable security equipment, during
serious incidents, prevents staff from being able to record and
or/view the incident for possible prosecution or administrative
action.
• New Inmates - The first few hours and days after
admission can be critical. Newly incarcerated inmates may
experience feelings such as shame, guilt, fear, sadness,
anger, agitation, depression, relationship problems,
legal concerns, hopelessness, and helplessness, which can
contribute to increased suicide risk.
• Protective Custody - Inmates who volunteer to enter
protective custody are at high risk for suicide,
especially during the first 72 hours in SHU. These
inmates should be referred to psychology services
immediately.

• Long-term Protective Custody Inmates - These inmates are
particularly vulnerable to depression that can lead to a
suicide attempt, and should be monitored closely while
they are in SHU.
• Inmates Taking Medication for Mental Health Reasons
These inmates are vulnerable to developing suicidal
thoughts and attempting suicide by overdosing on their
medication. Inmates on medication should be monitored to
