About this file
This is an Access and Security Requirements exhibit for detention facilities operated by the County of Santa Clara's Department of Correction, applicable to contractors and their employees performing work at County custody facilities. The exhibit establishes mandatory security protocols and behavioral standards that all personnel must follow without exception, including prohibitions on bringing firearms, explosives, alcoholic beverages, narcotics, controlled substances, or tobacco products into any facility. Contractors must proceed directly to designated work areas, maintain tool inventories upon entry and exit each day, and comply immediately with any directives from custody staff regarding security concerns. Communication with inmates is strictly forbidden, as are any exchanges, loans, favors, or business transactions with incarcerated individuals.
The exhibit emphasizes that facility security takes absolute precedence over work completion efficiency and establishes a no-hostage policy to ensure staff and inmate safety. Prohibited items include umbrellas, pocketknives, scissors, metal nail files, and other objects that could be weaponized, and all work areas must be thoroughly cleaned after each work session to prevent contraband breaches. Contractors found loitering in unauthorized areas or failing to comply with security directives may be escorted from the facility and have their security clearance revoked. These requirements apply to all vendor employees providing services to the County of Santa Clara's detention facilities, including those supplying dried fruits and nuts to the Department of Correction's Food Services.

ACCESS AND SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR DETENTION FACILITIES
GENERAL:
Contractor’s Employee shall abide by and are subject to all policies that govern the control of tools and personnel working at County detention facilities. These Facilities are NO HOSTAGE areas.
1. Bringing Firearms, explosives, alcoholic beverages, narcotics, or a controlled substance, including marijuana, into a custody facility is a crime, and cause for arrest.
2. Persons under the influence of alcoholic beverages or drugs will not be allowed to enter any custody facility and may be subject to arrest.
3. Umbrellas, pocketknives, scissors, metal nail files, or other objects that could be used as weapons are not allowed within any facility (other than job tools related to the function being undertaken).
4. Persons entering any custody facility shall not give anything to any inmate, nor will they take anything from any inmate without prior approval from a custody staff supervisor.
5. Department of Correction Facilities are no smoking areas. Workers are not to bring any tobacco products into any facility. No smoking is permitted within any building or within the perimeter fence boundaries.
6. Persons entering any custody facility shall not loan, exchange, borrow, do favors for, or enter into any business transactions with any inmate. Do not communicate with any inmate.
7. Contractors and their employees will proceed directly to their designated work areas. Those found loitering in any unauthorized area may be escorted from the facility and may have their security clearance revoked.
8. No Hostage Policy: For everyone’s safety, we will not allow any inmate to escape in exchange for the release of a hostage. All means will be utilized to affect a safe release, except giving hostage takers weapons, additional hostages, or allowing them to escape.
9. Facility security is our first priority. Security concerns must take precedence over work completion efficiency if that security is threatened.
10. Custody staff is responsible for the security of the facility. If directed by a staff member to take any action (leave area, secure tools, wait, etc.) all workers shall comply immediately without argument, non-compliance may result in revocation of their security clearance.
11. Tools must be inventoried prior to entry and again at completion of each day. Bring in only the tools you require to accomplish the task. It is essential that planning includes anticipation of needs to avoid unnecessary trip(s) in and out of the facility. Tools must be removed after each workday to a secured area.
12. Extreme care must be exercised to avoid leaving any materials in security areas that can be used as a weapon by inmates. Work areas must be cleaned after every work session to avoid contraband security breaches.
