Study Notes

Perimeter Security Clearance Procedures

Delegation of Authority: The Institutional Head may delegate approval of perimeter security clearance applications to the Deputy Warden (minimum-security inmates).
Supervision Requirements: The responsibilities of inmate supervisors must be detailed, including duration and type of supervision (e.g., direct, constant).
Record Keeping: A system for recording perimeter security clearance applications and recommendations (from Correctional Managers) must be in place, along with recording clearance status, start/end dates in the Offender Management System.
Parole Officer Input: Parole Officers provide input to Correctional Officer II/Primary Workers regarding clearance applications.

Application Process & Eligibility

Initial Assessment: An initial assessment (Annex B) must outline frequency and length of the proposed clearance.
Search and Seizure: Inmates with perimeter clearance are subject to search and seizure procedures.
Work Assignments: Work assignments can be daily, or specified number of days/hours per week (one day of clearance = any hours on that day).
Eligibility Criteria
Maximum-security inmates, and those detained beyond Statutory Release Date (CCRA) are ineligible.
Medium-security inmates (eligible for unescorted temporary absences) may apply.
Minimum-security inmates are eligible (unless waiting for Parole Board decision).
Application Review Process: Correctional Officer II/Primary Worker completes an Assessment for Decision (within 30 days of application) and notifies the inmate of the decision/rationale in writing within 5 working days.
Correctional Manager Role: The Correctional Manager reviews applications and recommends to the decision maker (on appropriateness of applications as well as supported or rejected cases) .
Supervision: Supervision requirements are specified by the decision maker. Direct/constant supervision is generally not required for those who have completed unescorted absences in the last year.

Termination & Review

Cancellation: If a clearance is cancelled, at least seven days of custody are required, and a new assessment is necessary.
Appeal: Inmates can appeal a decision through the offender redress process (CD 081).
Subsequent Reviews: Subsequent reviews of applications may be conducted no sooner than six months following a negative decision.
Changes: Any changes to an approved perimeter security clearance plan require a new assessment for decision.
