To implement protective isolation, an Authority shall first have an Inmate Isolation Protection Report Form completed by an Officer. Isolation protection shall only be implemented following approval by the Senior Official. However, in emergency situations, protective isolation may be implemented first, with immediate report to the Senior official.After an Authority implements protective isolation, a notice shall be given to the health section for sending appropriate medical personnel to assess the Inmate’s physical and mental status. Following assessment by the medical personnel, the protective isolation shall be terminated if it is deemed inappropriate.After an Authority implements protective isolation, a notice shall be given to the family members or nearest relatives of the person subject to protective isolation by telephone, video-call or in other proper methods. If there are multiple Families or Closest Families, notice only needs to be given to one of them. Notice may be waived if the families or closest families cannot be reached. An Inmate Protective Isolation Form shall also be prepared in triplicate. The first copy shall be given to the Inmate for signed acceptance. If the Inmate refuses or is unable to sign, the reason shall be recorded. The second copy shall be served to the designated family members or nearest relatives unless it cannot be served. The third copy shall be kept by the Authority for record.
