Status Xxxxxx School Substantial Compliance (as of December 31, 2007) Cheltenham Youth Facility Substantial Compliance (as of June 30, 2008) Discussion The following regulations and policies are relevant to this provision: • Use of Crisis Prevention Management Techniques • Incident Reporting • Videotaping of Incidents • Maryland Correctional Training Commission (COMAR 12.10.01) • Incident Reporting (Facility Operating Procedures) Policy: The Department’s Use of Crisis Prevention Management (CPM) Techniques policy adequately responds to all issues raised by the Monitor in previous reviews. The array of CPM techniques (e.g., passive escort, passive restraint, cradle hold, side restraint, etc.) reflects contemporary standards of care. The medical expert, Dr. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, submits that the DJS‐approved techniques, if properly applied, are medically safe. Training: As discussed in III.B.iv, nearly all direct care staff at both facilities received CPM refresher training during CY 2007. However, at CYF, there are a still a number of staff (11% of those hired prior to May 1, 2007) who are not fully certified. These staff must complete certification to ensure their competence in using safe restraint practices. Practice: Written descriptions of the use of force contained in incident reports, staff and youth witness statements; statements made by staff and youth during interviews with the Monitors; and the few incidents that were captured on videotape all suggest that staff utilize safe methods of restraint and no longer use any restraint techniques that require staff to place downward pressure on the youth while in a prone position. This finding would not be possible without the attention to detail in the incident report narratives which almost always provide sufficient detail to reconstruct the restraint and to visualize staff’s positions and actions. Youth are injured very rarely during restraints and, when they are, their injuries are sustained during periods of intense resistant rather and do not appear to be caused by the improper application of a restraint by staff. Recommendations Xxxxxx has been in substantial compliance with this provision for 6 month...
