 It is the duty of the board of county commissioners, as often as they deem necessary, but at least once annually, to make personal examination of the jail of its county, its sufficiency, and the management thereof and to correct all irregularities and improprieties therein found.   History. Source: L. 77: Entire title R&RE, p. 939, § 10, effective August 1. L. 2008: Entire section amended, p. 926, § 1, effective August 5.

Cross references:   For governmental immunity provisions relating to jails and the conditions thereof, see § 24-10-106 (1)(b) .   ANNOTATION   Annotator's note. Since § 17-26-126 is identical to repealed § 27-26-126 , a relevant case construing that provision has been included in the annotations to this section.   This section imposes a public official duty. It would seem clear that the county commissioners as to the performance of the duty imposed upon them by this section come within the class of public officers who are recognized by the authorities as subordinate governmental officers and administrative agents whose duty is owing primarily to the public collectively -- to the body politic and not to any particular individual -- who act for the public at large. Miller v. Ouray Elec. Light & Power Co., 18 Colo. App. 131, 70 P. 447 (1902).   The commissioners are not individually liable thereunder to an action for damages for the death of a prisoner caused by the burning of the county jail, alleged to have been caused by their negligent failure to make such examination. Miller v. Ouray Elec. Light & Power Co., 18 Colo. App. 131, 70 P. 447 (1902).   Complaint must allege knowledge of dangerous conditions existing. In an action against the individual commissioners of a county for the wrongful death of a prisoner in a county jail caused by the burning of the jail, based on the failure of said commissioners to personally examine said jail, a complaint which fails to allege that said commissioners had knowledge or could by proper examination have had knowledge of the dangerous condition which caused the fire, and fails to allege in what respect the failure to make the examination contributed to cause the fire, is defective. Miller v. Ouray Elec. Light & Power Co., 18 Colo. App. 131, 70 P. 447 (1902).   The words “and to correct all irregularities and improprieties therein found” impose no new obligation upon the county commissioners. Miller v. Ouray Elec. Light & Power Co., 18 Colo. App. 131, 70 P. 447 (1902).   Commissioners and the sheriff are separately elected officials, and the board does not exercise managerial control over either the sheriff or the detention center and its staff. Moreover, this section does not impose a legal duty on the board to ensure an inmate's safety against assaults from other inmates, nor does it prescribe a civil remedy. Terry v. Sullivan, 58 P.3d 1098 (Colo. App. 2002).

 In case of escape of any person lawfully committed to any jail of any county in this state, it is the duty of the sheriff of the county where such jail is situated to pursue and recapture such escaped person at the expense of the office of such sheriff. In case of any escape without any fault or negligence on the part of the keeper of the jail or the guards under such keeper's command, the board of county commissioners of the county where such jail is situated may audit and allow to the office of the sheriff the necessary expenses incurred in such recapture.

  If a person is treated for a substance use disorder throughout the person's incarceration, the county jail shall, at a minimum, conduct the following before releasing the person from the county jail's custody:   Provide post-release resources developed pursuant to section 17-1-103 (1)(r) to the person; and    Provide a list of available substance use providers, to the extent the office of behavioral health in the state department has such a list available.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 17 - Corrections|Article 26 - Jails|Part 3 - Restrictive Housing in Jails (Effective July 1, 2022)|§ 17-26-301. Legislative Declaration

  [ ] The general assembly finds that:   Placing individuals with serious mental illness in restrictive housing, also known as solitary confinement, within a local jail is inappropriate and causes further harm to the individual;    According to the National Commission on Correctional Health Care, prolonged solitary confinement is cruel, inhumane, and degrading treatment and harmful to an individual's health, and juveniles, individuals with serious mental illness, and pregnant women should be excluded from solitary confinement of any duration;    The World Health Organization, United Nations, and other international bodies have recognized that solitary confinement is harmful to health;    Psychological effects caused by placement in isolation can include self-harm, suicide, paranoia, psychosis, cognitive disturbances, perceptual distortions, obsessive thoughts, anxiety, and depression;    Studies have shown that the psychological stress created from solitary confinement compares to the distress of physical torture. According to United States District Judge Thelton Henderson, putting an individual with a serious mental illness in solitary confinement is the equivalent of putting a person with asthma in a place with little air.    In 2012, a task force appointed by the United States attorney general concluded that nowhere is the damaging impact of incarceration on vulnerable children more obvious than when it involves solitary confinement. Juveniles experience symptoms of paranoia, anxiety, and depression even after very short periods of isolation.         The United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners state that solitary confinement should be prohibited in cases involving children and in the case of adults with mental or physical disabilities when their conditions would be exacerbated by such measures; and (2) (g) The United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners state that solitary confinement should be prohibited in cases involving children and in the case of adults with mental or physical disabilities when their conditions would be exacerbated by such measures; and       Editor's note: This section is effective July 1, 2022.   (h) International standards established by the United Nations Rules for the Treatment of Women Prisoners and Non-custodial Measures for Women Offenders state that pregnant women should never be placed in solitary confinement as they are especially susceptible to its harmful psychological effects.   (2) Therefore, the general assembly declares that due to the substantial negative impacts of placing juveniles and adults with specific health conditions in restrictive housing, the state must take immediate steps to end and prohibit the use of restrictive housing of juveniles and adults with specific health conditions in Colorado jails.
