Justice Involved Individual Personal Belongings

Describes policies around Justice Involved Individuals (JII) personal belongings, and includes links to allowed personal items and restricted items lists.

Washington County Community Corrections Center (WCCCC) policy lets JIIs have needed personal belongings, like clothing and bathroom items.

With permission from staff, JIIs can have books, radios or alarm clocks with one speaker, and other personal items. The way JIIsuse personal items cannot be offensive to other JIIs, staff, or guests.

JIIs will keep all belongings in a neat and organized way in their assigned storage space in their dorm. Personal belongings will be searched by staff when they enter the WCCCC. Any restricted items will be confiscated (taken away), and a receipt will be written. Staff will give one copy of the receipt to the JII, and keep another copy of the receipt on the property. The restricted items must be removed within 14 days.

The WCCCC is not responsible for a JII's personal belongings. A JII must remove their items from the center within 30 days of leaving the center (through release from custody or escape), or their items will be discarded (thrown away). Restricted items that have a receipt can stay in the building for up to 14 days before they are donated or discarded.
