Warden's response dated 4/29/08: WCFA agrees with the noncompliance item. The Case Manager did complete the two (2)
predicator scales in question, however, she did not ensure
placement into the institutional file as required by policy. Training
has been conducted with all unit teams to ensure that all Case
Managers are in compliance with this requirement. Additionally,
both predictor scales have been placed in the IIR.

Seven (7) out of thirty-seven (37) inmates identified

Warden's response dated 4/29/08: The facility concurs with the
NCR. The department heads responsible for monitoring this
process failed to ensure that their employees completed the
required quarterly contact notes on LCDG. The department heads
were held accountable for the subpar performance of their staff in
this area and lack of follow-up on their part. They were advised of
the expectation that they are to review and monitor their
employees and hold them accountable when the policy is not
followed.

Warden's response received 11/10/08: Case managers are to
evaluate their caseloads and identify those inmates who arrived to
WCFA before 2006. They will then look in the IIR to ensure a
predictor scale is there. If not, they will complete a PREA
assessment to include the contact note and paperwork. It will then

On 10/17/08, TOMIS incident #765290, an inmate
was charged with positive drug screen. The inmate
was never served the disciplinary, therefore no
hearing was held. Essential item.

Warden's response received 11/25/08: Drug testing officer
completed the disciplinary and took it to the count room to be
logged and entered. Once entered on TOMIS, the DR was logged
on the tracking sheet to be served. The person who picked up the
disciplinary did not sign for it and we were unable to confirm who
may have taken it. To prevent future occurrences, we have
changed steps #7and #9 of our procedures. #7. The DR will be
assigned to a staff member to be served. #9. Shift Supervisor will

On 11/26/08, TOMIS incident #771014, a maximum
security inmate was allowed out of his cell
unrestrained. He then assaulted another inmate
(medium custody), who was a worker in the
segregation unit. Essential item.

Warden's response received 12/03/08: Warden agrees that the
event occurred as described. The individual employee violated
policy, post orders and training in opening the door of a maximum
custody inmate without a second employee and without first
securing the inmate with restraints. WCFA had earlier this year
completed a specialized training program conducted for staff
assigned to segregation and the employee involved in this incident
had completed this training. The employee responsible has been
terminated.

12/29/08 CMD note: This essential item was also
found in non-compliance subsequently on 12/4/08.
A Breach notification is pending for both items.

Warden's response received 12/10/08: The failure in this instance
to immediately contact the A/C was a result of communications to
the designated ADO or to the Warden not being made when the
medical determination at the hospital was known. At the time of the
