Inmate Assessment: Self-Assessment Checklist Summary

The mobile form includes fields to document items such as assessment date, standards for follow-up, priority level, implementation and captures the signature of the person completing the assessment. Once the mobile app is filled out a secure PDF is generated. The PDF is easy to share, and a copy is stored in your account for your prison safety records. You can also use the App Builder to personalize and customize this mobile form. Using the responses to each Self-Assessment question and the PREA Standards, list all the standards that will require follow-up. After listing the standards, assign a priority level and an implementation status to each. The app provides the user with policy considerations and suggestions. It is recommended that agencies not merely copy policies of other jails or prison, but instead analyze the jail’s operations and policies. States have different laws that will affect policy and procedures; jails have unique facility designs, staffing, and budget issues that will also influence procedures.
