Text of Recommendation | Comply with PBNDS 2011 standards by: a) ensuring Krome’s medical department responds to medical grievances within the required time; b) ensuring copies of all paper medical grievances are placed in detainee medical records; c) ensuring all medical grievances are tracked and logged appropriately; d) updating the facility grievance policy to include expectations related to the submission of medical grievances. If the expectation is for detainees to only submit medical grievances through the paper grievance forms, Krome should update the facility’s detainee handbook; e) removing the grievance form, revised in 2011, from circulation at Krome and ensuring the facility does not impose a time limit on when a detainee may submit a formal grievance; and f) maintaining an adequate supply of paper grievance forms and writing instruments in housing units. |
