The idea is that you are in a bar, and someone who is drinking is about to try something dangerous—possibly start a fight with someone. Dress Code for Visitors of California Inmates You may not wear clothing that looks like what the inmates are wearing, that includes blue denim pants, blue chambray shirts, orange tops, orange bottoms, orange jumpsuits, red tops, or a dress that resembles the inmates clothing.
The United States Federal Bureau of Prisons does not allow conjugal visits for prisoners in federal custody. For prisoners in state custody, the availability of conjugal visits is governed by the law of the particular state. It was enacted to convince black male prisoners to work harder in their manual labor. Convicted prisoners are generally allowed visits a month but this can increase as the prisoner progresses through the system. Some items are not allowed to be in your possession.
These include:. You should give any extra things you cannot keep to visitors when they come to see you, especially expensive or valuable things. Anything you cannot keep or give to visitors will be put into sealed bags and kept in a safe place inside or outside the prison until you leave. This is known as your stored property. Prison staff will ask you to sign a form property card when:. This property should also be transported with you if you are transferred to another prison.
Sending in parcels. After you have been convicted, you may be allowed a one-off parcel of clothing to be sent in by family. If you are unconvicted you can receive more than one parcel of clothing as well as writing materials, as long as they fit in your property boxes. You can ask families and friends to send or hand in books for you. They will not be allowed to hand books directly to you; they will need to be left with staff to process.
In possession property. However there are a few times when the prison might be responsible. This could be if you were prevented from looking after your property by the prison and they fail to take care of it for you. For example, if you are moved to a new cell without being able to collect your property or if staff unlock your cell when you are not on the wing to look after it.
Two members of staff should be present and should make sure all in-possession property left is recorded on a Cell Clearance Certificate, which is kept with the property record cards. If it is a shared cell, the remaining prisoner should be present to identify their own property. The cleared property should be placed in property bags and sealed. When this property is returned to you, the property bags should be unsealed in your presence so that you can check the contents.
If the above procedure has not been followed, the prison may be considered responsible for any loss or damage to your property. This is subject to volumetric control levels. If you have been moved to another prison any property that did not come with you should be transferred as soon as possible.
What should I do if I think the prison has lost my property? If you believe that the guidelines have not been followed properly and this has resulted in loss or damage of your property you should make a complaint using the prison complaints system. Give as much detail as possible as to what items have been lost or damaged, where and when the items were purchased and the value of each item. If property was lost during transfer you can make the complaint at your current prison and they should pass it on to your previous prison and make sure you get a response.
You should not be asked to contact the sending prison directly. The response may be provided by the sending prison but it is up to the receiving prison to request and chase this for you. The time limit for responses to stage 1 or stage 2 complaints involving another establishment is 10 working days rather than the usual 5. If you are not satisfied by the responses after both stages of this process you can write to the Prison and Probation Ombudsman.
They can look into it and recommend the prison pays compensation if they think they are responsible. You could also start a claim in a County Court, though be aware that legal aid is generally not available for this. Further information. Incentives Policy Framework.
