During our unannounced inspection of Baker County Sheriff’s Office (Baker) in Macclenny, Florida, we found Baker and ICE staff complied with ICE’s 2019 National Detention Standards for Non-Dedicated Facilities (NDS 2019) for classification, grievances, recreation, segregation, facility conditions, and medical care. However, Baker and ICE staff did not always comply with standards related to the voluntary work program, staff-detainee communication, and use of force.
