Model Inmate Handbook & Jail Staff Handbooks

The OSS Model Inmate & Jail Staff Handbooks are designed to provide a better understanding of facility rules, procedures, and what is expected within a jail and correctional environment.  

Both staff and inmates want to be treated fairly. By their very nature, correctional facilities require everyone to work or live in very close proximity. Life-safety and healthy living conditions must remain a priority. 

Aligning management and staff expectations with facility inmates is paramount to providing a safe, clean, and healthy environment for everyone. 

OSS Model Inmate & Jail Staff Handbooks are divided into 6 sections with 9 forms/attachments. Provided in MS Word™, they are designed to be easily edited to fit your facility’s operational approaches. Each page may be edited, graphically enhanced, reserved for future use, added to, or even deleted. You can merge and modify without being limited to cumbersome formats such as Adobe PDF formats. There truly are no limitations to your facility-specific modifications and your enhancements.
