Restraint requirements will be clearly spelled out for each prisoner, and contract personnel shall not ordinarily deviate from these requirements. During a temporary life threatening medical emergency, where the restraints prevent life-saving procedures or treatments, they may be temporarily removed and the institution notified as soon as possible without jeopardizing the requirement for constant visual observation. The Operations Lieutenant will routinely advise contract personnel if restraints may be removed for the prisoner to use the bathroom, bathe, medical examination, etc. the only exception is during an medical emergency where the restraint would interfere with live saving measures.

In an emergency, additional restraints may be applied to the inmate. The institution shall be notified as soon as possible after the situation is under control.

15. The contractor shall prepare a written report when the guard believes that an inmate has committed a prohibited act. The report shall be forwarded to the institution by the end of the work day.

16. The contractor's personnel may not be permitted to smoke anywhere at any time during the tour of duty.

Failure of a contract guard to attend this training will result in the removal of the individual from the duty roster until training is obtained.

2.2.5 General Provisions

The contractor may assume under normal circumstances that one (I) guard per prisoner shall be sufficient for the purpose of maintaining security. The custody level of the federal inmates are classified as minimum or low security inmates. Federal inmates with lower custody classifications may require special consideration for increased supervision. The determination for increased supervision is at the Warden's discretion. If necessary, contract guards may be used for pretrial inmates admitted to FCI Seagoville when classified as Minimum or Low security inmates. However, due to any unusual circumstances, the COR shall have the authority to determine when and if more than one guard is necessary. The contractor shall comply with this determination. The contractor shall replace any contract personnel who for any reason is not acceptable to the COR. These personnel shall not be further used to guard federal pensioners without the written approval from the FCI Contracting Officer.

The contractor shall provide two guards for IN custody inmates and one guard for OUT custody inmates unless the Warden or designee directs otherwise. At no time may two guards be used for the security of more than one inmate unless the Warden or designee directs otherwise. If two inmates are housed in one room, three guards must be present unless the Warden or designee directs otherwise. To protect the inmate's privacy, at least one contract guard shall be of the same sex as the inmate, since it may become necessary for contract guards to conduct visual searches of inmates
