About this file
This is a Tour Agreement and Civil Claims Release form issued by the Orange County Sheriff's Department (OCSD) for visitors touring the Central Jail Complex. The document serves as a legal waiver requiring visitors to acknowledge the inherent risks associated with touring a detention facility and to release the County of Orange, the Sheriff, and all affiliated members from liability. Prospective tour participants must be at least eighteen years of age, present valid picture identification, undergo a background check, and comply with strict dress code requirements including long pants and collared shirts for men and casual business attire for women, with closed-toe shoes required for all visitors. The agreement outlines facility rules including prohibitions on bringing narcotics or contraband, restrictions on inmate communication, and subject to searches at any time while on jail property. Visitors acknowledge exposure to potential risks including personal injury, death, property damage, unlawful acts of force or violence by inmates, riots, fires, explosions, assaults, and chemical exposure.
The release form requires visitors to waive all claims for personal injury, death, property damage, or loss arising from their tour, including claims of negligence by Orange County Sheriff's Department members, with limited exceptions for intentional, deliberate, or conscience-shocking conduct by prisoners under federal law. Visitors and their heirs, executors, and assigns must agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the County of Orange and Sheriff's Department against any actions, claims, or damages arising from the tour. The agreement further restricts participation by individuals involved in pending litigation against the County or Sheriff's Department and requires approval from the facility commander, who may revoke tour authorization at any time. Once a jail tour begins, the release agreement cannot be rescinded, though visitors retain the right to revoke the agreement before the tour commences.
