Escambia Corrections Department Passes Standards Inspection
October 1, 2015
The Escambia County Corrections Department recently completed the annual Florida Model Jail Standards (FMJS) inspections. Corrections passed both the Jail Standards and Medical Unit inspections, with the inspectors finding no serious violations, according to a county news release.
On August 24, FMJS Inspectors, Lt. April McQueen and Sgt. David Harvey conducted the annual inspection of Corrections facilities including the Main Jail and Work Release Center. During the Inspection only three minor violations were found. These violations are a result of the loss of the Central Booking and Detention (CBD) facility which was destroyed last year in an explosion.
On September 17, FMJS Medical Inspector, Lt. Donna Wainright, R.N, conducted the annual medical inspection of the Escambia County Jail, Escambia County Road Prison and Work Release Center. There were no violations found.
Florida Model Jail Standards are the basic standards for all jails in the state. Escambia’s Corrections Department also holds accreditation from the National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC) and the Florida Corrections Accreditations Commission (FCAC).

CONSIDERING:
“Maybe the right people need to be doing the inspecting next time.”
Or maybe the wrong ones didn’t do it this time?
Without details any disagreements would just be guesses.
David for the benefit of the doubt
Is this a result of the sheriff not being over the jail? He has mentioned in the past that without his leadership jail operations would not be successful and yet it passed.
I find it hard to believe that there wasn’t several major violations. Maybe the right people need to be doing the inspecting next time.
