Escambia Jail And Work Release Pass Florida Model Jail Standards Inspections
October 11, 2016
The Escambia County Jail and Work Release Center received notification that they have again passed both the Florida Model Jail Standards and Medical Unit Inspections, with inspectors finding no violations. The Florida Model Jail Standards are minimum standards that jails across Florida must meet to ensure the constitutional rights of those incarcerated are upheld.
These annual inspections are led by outside law enforcement agencies and ensure that the facilities and staff meet or exceed the minimum performance standards to operate a constitutional jail in the state of Florida. They include interviews with inmates and staff and review of daily operations.
The team of inspectors reviewed all areas of operations from staff training, admissions, release, programs, sanitation, housing, food service, health records and security, to how medications are stored and labeled.
The inspections were completed in August and October.
