II.NUTRITIONAL HEALTH EVALUATION Adult Court and Temporary Holding Facilities ARTICLE/SECTION YES I NO I N/A COMMENTS Article 12. Food 1240 Frequency of Serving (Not applicable for CH.) X Food is served three times in any 24-hour period. At least one meal includes hot food. X If more than 14 hours passes between these meals, X supplemental food is served. Supplemental food is served in less than the 14-hour X period for inmates on medical diets. A minimum of fifteen minutes is allowed for the actual consumption of each meal except for those X inmates on therapeutic diets where the responsible physician has prescribed additional time. Inmates who miss or may miss a regularly scheduled facility meal,are provided with a sandwich or a X substitute meal and beverage. Inmates on therapeutic diets who miss a regularly scheduled meal,are provided with their prescribed X meal. 1241 Minimum Diet(Not applicable for CH.) Temporary holding facilities are required to provide the full RDA;however, determining what constitutes a full RDA presents a problem. Most prisoners in these facilities are in custody for a few hours with time for only one or two meals. The problem is determining an acceptable nutritional value for any one meal. In this instance the intent of the regulation X is best described as requiring the arresting agency to provide reasonably nutritious meals in their feeding program. The inspector must take the facility operation into account and use good judgment when analyzing the food service. Typically these facilities have frozen dinners in stock or obtain food from a local restaurant when needed. Both these options are reasonable. 1243 Food Service Plan (Not applicable for CH.) This regulation requires Temporary Holding facilities X to have a food service plan;however,the intent is that policies and procedures only address those areas that apply to the facility operation. Summary of nutritional health evaluation: Food service is contracted out to Aramark. Bag lunches are prepared in Alameda County and distributed to the inmates.
