Notes and Summary

• Documentation and video received and reviewed as well as self reporting by facility administration revealed that while rounds were conducted, face to face observations were not conducted as required.
• Documentation and video received and reviewed as well as self reporting by facility administration revealed that the inmate was not physically counted at least once per day as required.
