Most doors throughout the facility were propped open with a block. These doors are
considered fire doors and must remain closed or close when fire alarm is activated. The
purpose of the fire door is to prevent the spread of fire. Discussed options with the Major
and Officer Ivey. The door in rear of kitchen cannot be opened by kitchen staff. If there
was a fire in the kitchen and the main door was blocked an officer would have to go
around the perimeter of the jail and open the door. If the kitchen staff are not certified
detention officers and cannot be assigned a key to this door, staff should make sure that
there is a policy in place to get this door opened. Kitchen staff should be able to contact
assistance by either intercom or by radio. Please respond.

Dear Mr. Wood,
We reviewed your recommendations and they have been addressed;
The exit doors in both recreation areas have been being keyed on both sides per l0A NCAC 14J. 1503
Additionally in the cell blocks inmates are being closely checked to insure they do not lie on the floor and
block doors or hang clothing on inner doors.
Our emergency generator is put through a 30 minute test and run every Wednesday. Our generator is
serviced monthly by county maintenance.
Our detention officers conduct in service training monthly with the Scott air- packs.
Our hood in the kitchen is cleaned every 6 months by our hood service vendor.
Our boilers have been inspected our next inspection is due 3/31/2009. Copies of inspections attached.
In- service is at this time is being conducted "on visual inspections" as rounds are made. We require 15
minute checks which have been found at times to be done hurriedly. This will be closely monitored.
The kitchen staff has an assigned radio as well as an intercom system if they need help in case of a lire in
the kitchen. Our control room staff constantly views the kitchen as the video monitors check the kitchen
every 15 seconds.
Main control room door is now on electric release to enter and exit. Our maintenance staff is also
increasing the water pressure for the cell commodes. The staff is also securing a paint contract to finish
the jail interior.

Additionally in the cell blocks inmates are being closely checked to insure they do not lie on the floor and
block doors or hang clothing on inner doors.
Our emergency generator is put through a 30 minute test and run every Wednesday. Our generator is
serviced monthly by county maintenance.
Our detention officers conduct in service training monthly with the Scott air - packs.
Our hood in the kitchen is cleaned every 6 months by our hood service vendor.
Our boilers have -been inspected -our next inspection is due 3/31/2009. Copies of inspections attached: -- -- - --
In- service is at this time is being conducted "on visual inspections" as rounds are made. We require 15
minute checks which have been found at times to be done hurriedly. This will be closely monitored.
The kitchen staff has an assigned radio as well as an intercom system if they need help in case of a fire in
the kitchen. Our control room staff constantly views the kitchen as the video monitors check the kitchen
every 15 seconds.
Main control room door is now on electric release to enter and exit. Our maintenance staff is also
increasing the water pressure for the cell commodes. The staff is also securing a paint contract to finish
the jail interior.
