Manteca Police Department Manteca PD Policy Manual Temporary Custody of Adults 900.9.1 USE OF SOBERING CELL Inmates who are to be held in the Temporary Holding Facility and who present a threat to their own safety or the safety of others due to their state of intoxication should be placed in a sobering cell until their condition allows for continued processing. The following guidelines apply when placing any inmate in a sobering cell (15 CCR 1056): (a) Placement of a female inmate into the cell requires approval of the Watch Commander. (b) A Watch Commander's Daily Log entry shall be initiated every time an inmate is placed in the cell. (c) A safety check consisting of direct visual observation sufficient to assess the inmate's well-being and behavior shall occur at least once every 30 minutes. Each safety check shall be documented in the Watch Commander's log. Supervisors shall check the logs for completeness every two hours and document this action on the cell log. (d) Under normal circumstances, inmates shall not be held in a sobering cell for more than six hours without being evaluated by qualified medical personnel to ensure that the inmate does not have an urgent medical issue. (e) Inmates will be removed from the cell when they no longer pose a threat to their own safety and the safety of others, and are able to continue processing. 900.9.2 PRISONER BEDDING The booking officer should offer one blanket and one mattress to each person booked into the facility, except for those booked into the sobering cell. Clean bedding should be stored in the Temporary Holding Facility storage room. Blankets that have been used by a prisoner should be placed in the laundry bin by the officer releasing the prisoner. Used bedding will be cleaned, as needed, upon the direction of the Watch Commander or as established by other protocols. 900.10 PRISONER FOOD SERVICE Food shall be served three times during the day. At least two of the meals shall include hot food. It shall be the Watch Commander's responsibility to ensure that prisoners receive timely meals. A minimum of 15 minutes shall be allowed for the actual consumption of each meal except for those inmates on a medical diet where more time is required. Any food that is not consumed within 60 minutes of purchase shall be discarded. All food will be purchased at a predesignated local food facility (such as Carl's Jr restaurant).
