X Nutritional Value Guidelines are available at the main Jail. 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 only for one or two meals. The problem is determining an acceptable nutritional value for any one meal. In this instance the intent of the regulation 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 Manager(Not applicable for CH.) X Food is prepared at main Jail. There is a written food service plan in temporary holding facilities that addresses issues applicable to the facility and is available for review in the facility.
