INS to Adopt New Detention Standards
The INS has released detailed standards for facilities housing INS detainees. The standards are meant to ensure consistent treatment and care for detainees that are in INS custody anywhere in the coutnry. They are scheduled to take effect at INS-owned facilities in January 2001, and to be phased in at contract facilities over the next two years.
The Detention Operations Manual (Detention Standards) provides uniform
policies and procedures for the safe, secure and humane treatment of individuals
detained by INS. The detention standards spell out INS expectations, include
guidance on compliance, and provide objective monitoring instruments. They also
address specific facility-operating procedures. The implementation of the
detention standards is mandatory for all INS Service Processing Centers,
Contract Detention facilities and state and local government custodial
facilities that house INS detainees for over 72 hours. You will need the free Adobe
