The format of this Court Monitor’s Report is similar to that of previous reports. In Section I we describe the jail population and capacity including admissions and length of stay, release mechanisms or alternatives to incarceration, and facilities status and planning issues. In Section II, we describe conditions of confinement at the jail. Subsections in this section include Environmental Health, Personal Hygiene, Food Service, Staffing, Overcrowding, Access to Law Libraries and Other Programs and Services, Visiting, Health Issues and Services, Grievance Procedures, and Disciplinary Procedures. These subsections address the principal provisions of the Consent Decree in this case. Several of the subsections of this report pertaining to compliance with the Consent Decree begin with the text of relevant provisions of the Consent Decree. The information used in the preparation of this report consists of observations made during more than 25 visits to the jail complex and analysis of data derived from logs, documents, and other records provided by CCDOC administrators, staff and other sources. Information obtained during meetings with CCDOC, other Cook County officials and other parties is also included. Details: Chicago: John Howard Association of Illinois, 2010. 126p.
