The expected results of this program are: Pretrial inmates will be separated to the extent practicable from convicted inmates. When this is not practicable, staff will screen and assess pretrial inmates, permitting those who do not present a risk to the security or orderly running of the institution to have regular contact with convicted inmates. Pretrial inmates will not be required to work (other than housekeeping tasks in their cells or community living area), unless they waive their right not to work. An initial assessment of pretrial inmates will be conducted within 48 hours of admission. Pretrial inmates will be offered the opportunity to participate in institution programs and services as is consistent with safety and the orderly running of the institution. The status of pretrial inmates will be reviewed regularly and each time they return from court.
