Unit 4 Mentally Ill Inmates and Inmates With Disabilities Lesson 4 Physically Disabled Inmates Lesson Goal You will be able to monitor an inmate who is physically disabled. Think About This The risk of having a disability increases the older we get. As the number of inmates growing old in a facility is increasing, the number of inmates with a disability increases as well. Monitoring An inmate with a disability may use their assigned medical appliance (wheelchair, cane) to move contraband from one location to another or sell medications or portable accessories to other inmates. ✅ CO744.1. Know how to monitor a disabled inmate who has a health-care appliance or personal care attendant Use the same search techniques and frequency with disabled inmates as with the general popu- lation, including searching their property and specially issued medical appliances. Some medical appliances have detachable parts, which a disabled inmate can use as a weapon. Check medically issued passes that allow inmates to have medical appliances and additional medical supplies, such as diapers and catheters. An inmate with a significant disability may have a personal care attendant who is also an inmate. If applicable, check and make sure that an inmate assigned as a personal care attendant is perform- ing their duties within the allowable scope, such as pushing a wheelchair, changing linens, provid- ing bowel care and hygiene assistance, and feeding. The assigned personal care attendant is not responsible for handling or having access to medical devices, such as needles, medications, surgical instruments, or other health care activities or records. 224 / Florida Basic Recruit Training Program (CO): Volume 1
