DHS OIG HIGHLIGHTSManagement Alert – Issues Requiring
Action at the Adelanto ICE Processing
Center in Adelanto, California

September 27, 2018

Why We Did
This Alert
This Alert is part of an ongoing
review to inspect U.S. Immigration
and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
detention facilities. We conducted anunannounced visit to the Adelanto
ICE Processing Center and, using
ICE’s 2011 Performance-BasedNational Detention Standards, we
identified serious violations that areimportant to inform ICE of
immediately.

What We
Recommend
We recommend that ICE conduct afull review of the Adelanto ICE
Processing Center and the GEOGroup’s management of the center
immediately to ensure compliancewith ICE’s 2011 Performance-BasedNational Detention Standards. As
part of this assessment, ICE mustensure compliance with thestandards addressing personal
housekeeping requirements,
segregation, and medical care.

What We Found
During our May 2018 unannounced inspectionof the Adelanto ICE Processing Center in
Adelanto, California, we identified a number ofserious issues that violate ICE’s 2011
Performance-Based National Detention Standards
and pose significant health and safety risks at
the facility. Specifically, we are concerned about
the following:
x
x
x

Nooses in Detainee Cells
Improper and Overly Restrictive
Segregation
Untimely and Inadequate Detainee
Medical Care

ICE must ensure the Adelanto Center complies
with detention standards to establish anenvironment that protects the safety, rights, andhealth of detainees. Mitigation and resolution ofthese issues require ICE’s immediate attention
and increased engagement with the center andits operations.

ICE Response
ICE concurred with the recommendation and is
implementing corrective actions to ensure the
Adelanto ICE Processing Center meets required
detention standards. ICE reported that it willcomplete a full inspection of the Adelanto facility
and a Special Assessment Review to ensure
concerns identified in this report are fully
inspected and addressed. We consider the one
recommendation resolved and open.

Background
The Adelanto ICE Processing Center, owned and operated by the GEO Group,
Inc., houses up to 1,940 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
detainees through an Intergovernmental Service Agreement.1 Based on thisagreement, the Adelanto Center must comply with ICE’s 2011 PerformanceBased National Detention Standards, as revised in December 2016. These
detention standards establish requirements for areas such as:x environmental health and safety: e.g., cleanliness, sanitation, security,
admission into facilities, classification, detainee searches, segregation2(Special Management Units), and disciplinary system;x detainee care: e.g., food service, medical care, and personal hygiene;x activities: e.g., religious practices, telephone access, and visitation; andx grievance system.
In May 2018, we visited the Adelanto ICE Processing Center as part of ourlatest round of unannounced spot inspections. At the time, 307 contract
guards oversaw 1,659 detainees housed in different facilities around thecenter. On the west side of the center, detainees resided in 16 housing units
consisting of 18 cells each that can hold approximately 4 to 8 detainees percell. On the east side of the center, detainees resided in 2 open bay housing
modules with 7 dormitories and an average of 94 detainees per dormitory.
While at the center, we identified serious issues relating to safety, detaineerights, and medical care that require ICE’s immediate attention. These issues
not only constitute violations of ICE detention standards but also represent
significant threats to the safety, rights, and health of detainees. 
Nooses Made from Braided Bed Sheets Present Ongoing Safety andSecurity Risks
ICE standards3 prohibit detainees from hanging or draping objects from theirbeds, fixtures, or other furniture. However, in about 15 of the approximately 20
male detainee cells we visited within 4 housing units on the west side, we
observed braided bedsheets, referred to as “nooses” by center staff and

Adelanto and ICE.

2 Segregation is the process of separating certain detainees from the general population foradministrative, disciplinary, or protective reasons.
3 ICE, Performance-Based National Detention Standards, 2011, Section 5.8.V.C, Voluntary Work

Program, Expected Practices, Personal Housekeeping Required (Revised Dec. 2016). The
pertinent part of this standard requires detainees to maintain their immediate living areas in aneat and orderly manner by making their bunk beds daily; stacking loose papers; keeping thefloor free of debris and dividers free of clutter; and refraining from hanging/draping clothing,
pictures, keepsakes, or other objects from beds, overhead lighting fixtures, or other furniture.

detainees, hanging from vents (see figure 1). The contract guard escorting us
during our visit removed the first noose found in a detainee cell, but stopped
after realizing many cells we visited had nooses hanging from the vents. We
also heard the guard telling some detainees to take the sheets down.
During our interviews, detainees provided a range of reasons for braiding andhanging bedsheets in the cells. One detainee told us, “I’ve seen a few attemptedsuicides using the braided sheets by the vents and then the guards laugh atthem and call them ‘suicide failures’ once they are back from medical.” Fourdetainees told us the braided sheets can be easily unfurled to temporarily
create privacy within the cell, specifically the bathroom area or individual bunkarea. Two detainees reported tying the braided sheets from one bedpost toanother to serve as a clothesline.

ICE has not taken seriously the recurring problem of detainees hanging
bedsheet nooses at the Adelanto Center; this deficiency violates ICE standards.
According to the guard escorting us, the nooses are a daily issue and very
widespread. When we asked two contract guards who oversaw the housing
units why they did not remove the bed sheets, they echoed it was not a highpriority. In March 2018, an ICE contractor who conducts daily center checks
noted that detainees were hanging bedsheets in their cells and began sending aweekly deficiency report to ICE for action. According to a senior ICE official,
however, local ICE management at Adelanto does not believe it is necessary ora priority to address the braided sheets issue.

ICE must prioritize addressing the issue of sheets hanging in detainee cells, as
they represent the potential to assist suicide acts. In March 2017, a 32-yearold male died at an area hospital after being found hanging from his bedsheetsin an Adelanto cell. In the months after this suicide, ICE compliance reports
documented at least three suicide attempts by hanging at Adelanto, two of
which specifically used bedsheets. Media reports based on 911 call logs
indicate at least four other suicide attempts at the center from December 2016
to July 2017.4 In total, these reports represent at least seven suicide attempts
at the Adelanto Center from December 2016 to October 2017. Nationwide, selfinflicted strangulation accounts for 4 of the 20 detainee deaths reported
between October 2016 to July 2018, according to ICE news releases. The mostrecent ICE detainee death, on July 10, 2018, at the Stewart Detention Facility
in Georgia, again highlights the current need to prioritize this issue, as ICE
preliminarily attributed that death to self-inflicted strangulation. ICE’s lack of
response to address this matter at the Adelanto Center shows a disregard for
detainee health and safety.
Inappropriate Segregation Restricts Detainee Rights
Detainees may be separated from the center’s general population because they
committed a serious prohibited act or rule violation (disciplinary segregation)5or to protect themselves, others and property, for medical reasons, and for
secure and orderly facility operations (administrative segregation). ICE
standards6 obligate the Adelanto Center to meet numerous requirements forsegregation, including:x preventing the commingling of detainees in administrative anddisciplinary segregation;x placing detainees in disciplinary segregation only after they are found tohave committed a prohibited act and only when alternative dispositions
may inadequately regulate the detainee’s behavior;x avoiding the use of restraints on detainees;

x providing communications assistance to detainees in segregation who
cannot speak English or who may be blind or deaf; and,x providing regular access to supervisory, management, program, andhealth care staff.
Nonetheless, our review of disciplinary segregation revealed multiple violationsof ICE detention standards. These violations pose a significant threat tomaintaining detainee rights and ensuring their mental and physical well-being.
Detainees Are Placed in Disciplinary Segregation Prematurely andInappropriately
During our visit to the Adelanto Center, there were 14 detainees in disciplinary
segregation. Through our file review, we found that the Adelanto Center
inappropriately placed all 14 detainees in disciplinary segregation before they
were found guilty of a prohibited act or rule violation. We also identified one
detainee who requested placement in administrative segregation but was
inappropriately held in disciplinary segregation for more than a week.
ICE standards state that a detainee shall be placed in disciplinary segregation
only after a disciplinary hearing panel finds the detainee guilty of a prohibited
act or rule violation and the disciplinary panel chair completes a written orderfor segregation. Yet, based on file reviews and interviews with GEO Group staff,
the Adelanto Center places detainees in disciplinary segregation prior to a
guilty finding and a written order for segregation. GEO Group staff indicated itis the center’s practice to place all detainees directly in disciplinary segregation
after an alleged incident to prevent further issues with the detainee. We
reviewed files for the 14 detainees in disciplinary segregation and only founddisciplinary panel decisions for 7 of the detainees. File reviews indicated that
this segregation placement is also done before the disciplinary panel assesses a
penalty for the violation and the detainee has the opportunity to appeal,
thereby violating the detainee’s right to due process.
This premature placement in disciplinary segregation may further restrictdetainee rights by imposing additional sanctions not included in thedisciplinary panel’s decision or orders. In the seven cases where we found a
disciplinary panel decision in the detainee file, the sanctions imposed went
beyond the penalties listed in the disciplinary panel decision. For example,
through interviews and observations, we learned that these detainees lost theability to purchase or keep commissary items in their cells while in disciplinary
segregation, but the disciplinary panel’s decisions did not include this penalty.
Further, according to center staff, all detainees in disciplinary segregation lose
contact visits with family. However, neither the disciplinary segregation orders

OIG-18-86

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERALDepartment of Homeland Security







for the 14 detainees nor the center handbook’s description of rule violation
penalties listed loss of contact visits with family as an available penalty.
Our file review also revealed that a disabled detainee who had requested to beplaced in administrative segregation, was instead placed in disciplinary
segregation. This violates two aspects of the Special Management Unitsstandard: one requiring a guilty finding before disciplinary segregation, andanother prohibiting commingling detainees in administrative and disciplinary
segregation. The center initially placed the detainee in disciplinary segregation
due to an unrelated behavioral problem in administrative segregation at thetime of transfer but inappropriately held him there for 9 days until we raised
the issue to the center’s Medical Health Services Administrator. Based on our
file review, in those 9 days, the detainee never left his wheelchair to sleep in a
bed or brush his teeth. During our visit, we saw that the bedding and toiletries
were still in the bag from his arrival. We also observed medical staff justlooking in his cell and stamping his medical visitation sheet rather thanevaluating the detainee, as required by ICE standards. After our notification,
the Medical Health Administrator moved the detainee from segregation to
medical for observation.
Detainees in Disciplinary Segregation Are Improperly Handcuffed and Shackled
According to ICE standards, placement in disciplinary segregation alone does
not constitute a valid basis for using restraints (i.e., handcuffs and shackles)
on detainees. However, in disciplinary segregation, we observed GEO Group
contract guards moving six detainees in physical restraints, including
handcuffs and shackles. The GEO Group segregation supervisor and guards
said they place all detainees held in disciplinary segregation in restraints whenoutside their cells. The center reported using restraints for security reasons,though according to ICE standards, restraints should only be used if necessary
as a precaution against escape during transfer, when directed by the medical
officer for medical reasons, or to prevent self-injury, injury to others, or serious
property damage. Physically restraining all disciplinary segregation detainees
whenever they are outside their cells does not comport with ICE standards andgives the appearance of criminal, rather than civil, custody.
Detainees in Disciplinary Segregation Lack Communication Assistance
ICE standards require facilities to provide communication assistance todetainees in segregation with disabilities or who are limited in their English
proficiency. During our visit, we encountered a blind, limited English proficientdetainee in disciplinary segregation but found the center had no auxiliary aids
or translated materials for the detainee to read or understand documents he
was given. In addition, file reviews of the 14 detainees in disciplinary







segregation at the time of our visit revealed that none of the segregation orders
or information provided to detainees while in segregation was translated orotherwise communicated to ensure the detainee’s understanding. Without
proper communication assistance, ICE cannot ensure that detainees placed in
disciplinary segregation understand the reasoning for their segregation and areaware of their rights.
Failure to Provide Timely and Adequate Medical Care for Detainees
Increases Health Risks
ICE has not ensured that Adelanto Center general population and segregateddetainees receive appropriate and necessary medical and dental care, as
required by ICE standards.7 We observed medical staff performing limited
checks on detainees in disciplinary segregation, which do not effectively ensure
detainee well-being. Based on interviews with detainees and medical staff and areview of independent reports, we concluded that detainees do not have timely
access to proper medical care. Also, our detainee interviews and review of
medical records revealed that detainees are placed on waitlists for months and,sometimes, years to receive basic dental care, resulting in tooth loss andunnecessary extractions in some cases.
Medical Oversight in Disciplinary Segregation Is Ineffective in Ensuring
Detainee Well-Being
Although ICE standards require face-to-face medical assessments of alldetainees in segregation at least once daily to ensure their welfare, we observed
Adelanto Center medical providers, including nurses, physicians, and mental
health providers, conducting cursory walk-throughs of disciplinary segregation.
For example, we observed two doctors walking through disciplinary segregationand stamping their name on the detainee records, which hang outside eachdetainee’s cell, indicating that they visited with the detainee. However, weobserved them doing so without having any contact with 10 of the 14 detainees
in disciplinary segregation. For the four detainees a doctor did speak with, thedoctor asked if the detainee was “ok” in English, not necessarily a language thedetainee understood. We confirmed with guards that these four detainees were
non-English speakers, and the doctor left without any acknowledgment or
response from the detainee. Although ICE’s detainee death review of the March2017 suicide at Adelanto previously identified similar issues with medical
oversight of detainees in segregation, our spot inspection of the center
confirmed these issues persist.

Medical Care for Detainees Is Delayed and Inadequate
From November 2017 to April 2018, detainees filed 80 medical grievances(about 34 percent of all grievances filed) with the center for not receiving urgent
care, not being seen for months for persistent health conditions, and notreceiving prescribed medication. Four of the 13 detainees we interviewed
reported waiting weeks and months to see a doctor. They also reported that
their appointments were sometimes canceled with no explanation, and thatthey were then placed back on the waiting list for a future appointment. In
2017, the medical unit conducted a quality improvement investigation andidentified 60 to 80 clinic appointments that were canceled because contract
guards were not available to take detainees from their cells to their
appointments.
Detainee statements also corroborated a 2017 outside medical review thatreported wait times to see a provider for both acute illness/injury and chroniccare needs are often excessively long. Further, ICE’s detainee death reviews forthree Adelanto Center detainees who have died since fiscal year 2015 also cited
medical care deficiencies related to providing necessary and adequate care in atimely manner. ICE must take these continuing violations seriously andaddress them immediately.
Dental Providers Do Not Provide Basic Dental CareICE standards expect detention facilities to provide dental care, including
checkups, cleanings, and procedures, after an individual has been in detention
for 6 months. The Adelanto Center, however, does not include time spent atother ICE facilities when calculating the 6 months, and only adds detainees
requesting dental cleanings to a waitlist for dental care after they have been at
the Adelanto Center for more than 6 months. Records indicated and center
staff corroborated that the center was waiting for detainees to leave rather thanproviding cleanings. Further, the Adelanto Center has only two dentists on staff
to provide care for up to 1,940 detainees. According to center logs, no detainees
received cleanings for almost 4 years. Dental cleanings began shortly before
our visit due to findings from an external medical review.
Our review of all requests for fillings since 2014 also found that although thecenter’s two dentists identified cavities and placed detainees on a waitlist forfillings, no detainees have received fillings in the last 4 years. One detainee weinterviewed reported having multiple teeth fall out while waiting more than 2
years for cavities to be filled. When we asked one of the dentists why fillings
were not performed, he said he barely has time to do cleanings and screening,so as a result he does not do fillings. He offered extractions over other types of
www.oig.dhs.gov







dental care; we corroborated this information through detainee interviews. In
our interviews with detainees, one reported having to wait 8 months for an
extraction and another reported having the wrong tooth pulled. We reviewed
the detainee dental records for tooth extraction and corroborated the detainee
statements.
During our interviews, a center dentist stated that he only provides “palliativecare” and does not have time to complete cleanings or fillings. The dentist
dismissed the necessity of fillings if patients commit to brushing and flossing.
Floss is only available through detainee commissary accounts, but the dentist
suggested detainees could use string from their socks to floss if they werededicated to dental hygiene.

Conclusion
ICE must ensure the Adelanto Center complies with detention standards toestablish an environment that protects the safety, rights, and health ofdetainees. Although this form of civil custody should be non-punitive, some of
the center conditions and detainee treatment we identified during our visit andoutlined in this management alert are similar to those one may see in criminal
custody. Mitigation and resolution of these issues require ICE’s immediate
attention and increased engagement with the center and its operations.

Recommendation
Recommendation 1: We recommend that ICE conduct a full review of the
Adelanto ICE Processing Center and the GEO Group’s management of thecenter immediately to ensure compliance with ICE’s 2011 Performance-BasedNational Detention Standards. As part of this assessment, ICE must review andensure compliance with those standards addressing:
1. Personal housekeeping requirements, associated with hanging
bedsheets
2. Segregation
3. Medical CareManagement Comments and OIG Analysis
ICE concurred with the one report recommendation. Appendix A contains a
copy of ICE’s management comments in their entirety. We also received
technical comments from ICE, and we incorporated those comments in thereport where appropriate. We consider this recommendation to be resolved andopen. A summary of ICE’s response and our analysis follows.

ICE Response to Recommendation 1: ICE concurred with thisrecommendation. ICE reported that it has scheduled a contractor to inspect the
Adelanto ICE Processing Center, beginning October 10, 2018. The inspection isintended to gauge compliance with the 2011 PBNDS [Performance-BasedNational Detention Standards]. In addition, ICE Office of Enforcement andRemoval Operations (ERO) has implemented a Special Assessment Review inresponse to this Management Alert. The Special Assessment Review is anadditional detention facility review to target emergent concerns like those
identified by the OIG. Additionally, ERO and the ICE Health Services Corps willmeet to discuss an ongoing plan for providing technical assistance, monitoring,and oversight to ensure corrective actions are completed. ICE anticipates theseactions to be completed by January 31, 2019.
OIG Analysis: We consider these actions responsive to this recommendation,
which is resolved and open. We will close this recommendation when we
receive sufficient evidence that ICE has completed both the full inspection of
Adelanto and a Special Assessment Review that will cover the areas of concern
identified in this report. Once we receive documentation that these two
inspections have been completed and ICE’s plan to address these reports, wewill close this recommendation.

Scope and Methodology
We visited the Adelanto ICE Processing Center as part of our larger effort toinspect ICE detention facilities. We used ICE’s 2011 Performance-BasedNational Detention Standards to conduct our inspection, as these are thestandards under which the center reported currently operating. Thesestandards, which were developed in coordination with component stakeholders,prescribe the expected outcomes of each standard and the expected practices
required to achieve them. ICE detention standards were also designed to
improve safety, security, and conditions of confinement for detainees.
During our inspection, we interviewed the following ICE staff members: ICE
Supervisory Detention and Deportation Officer, ICE Assistant Field OfficeDirector, Detention Management and Compliance Officer, and medical
oversight staff at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center. We interviewed
employees of the GEO Group, including the Warden, Assistant Warden,
Grievance Coordinator, Classification Officer, Segregation Supervisor, HealthServices Administrator, and medical providers. We also interviewed detainees
held in the general population and segregation. We reviewed documentationfrom previous ICE inspections, center documents, detainee records, anddocumentation of grievances.
