County Jail
Housing Assignment
If you remain in custody of this facility, you will be assigned to one of several housing units known
as "pods". There are many cells/beds inside a pod, and one of them will be assigned to you. You do not
choose your cell assignment. This is performed by the Classification Officers. Offenders will be housed
or removed and relocated to any other cell/assigned housing area in this facility or any other facility
as deemed necessary by the staff of this facility.
After you receive your housing assignment, your cell areas need to be inspected by you the offender and
all deficiencies brought to the Housing Officers attention. You are responsible for making sure that
your cell remains in the same condition it was on the day you first occupied it. Your cell area will be
inspected prior to your being released. Any damages to your cell will result in criminal prosecution
and delay in your release requiring you to post a bond. Any offender who knowingly damages his/her cell
will be prosecuted under RSMo. 221.353.
Basic hygiene items and clothing will be provided upon being dressed for general population or
segregation units.
You are required to keep yourself, your cell, and your day room neat and clean at all times. This
includes the making of your bunk daily when its not being used. Cleaning supplies will be available for
you and are required to be used each day. You are required to participate in the daily housekeeping of
your pods dayroom and showers areas.
Note: This applies to all offenders, including those in Disciplinary, Maximum Security, and Protective
Custody.
You will not cross the yellow line around the pod desk without permission from the Pod Officer. At no
time will you lean on or over the pod desk or enter the work station area of the pod.
You will respect the rights and property of other offenders. The only cell you may enter is the one
assigned to you. It is a violation to stand in front of, to peer through the window, or knock on the
door of another offender's cell.
A day room and recreation yard are provided in each pod. They are available for your use during free
times when permission is granted from the Pod Officer
Televisions have been provided in general housing day rooms. They will be turned off during head counts,
meals, and at the discretion of the Pod Officer. The Pod Officer is the only person authorized to
operate the televisions. Any attempt to adjust or control a television is a violation of facility rules.
Standing in front of or beside the television is forbidden. Chairs will be kept on the carpeted area at
all times.
Anytime a Pod Officer calls for "Lock Down", you will immediately return to and enter your cell. If your
door is locked, you will stand in front of your door quietly until acknowledged by the Pod Officer.
You will be expected to cooperate during head counts. Disciplinary action will be taken against any
offender interfering with head count procedures.
