MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER DIRECTING ENTRY OF FIRST AMENDED CONSENT JUDGMENT

JOHN W. OLIVER, District Judge.

I.

On January 3, 1973, this Court filed a memorandum opinion and entered a consent judgment in the above case involving the Jackson County Jail in Kansas City, Missouri. An appendix to that consent judgment establishing rules and regulations for the jail was approved and filed on February 8, 1973. See Goldsby v. Carnes, (W.D.Mo. 1973) 365 F.Supp. 395.

This case now pends on the joint motion of the parties for the approval of a first amended consent judgment and the approval of certain memoranda and agreements attached thereto and made a part thereof by reference. The joint motion will be granted and the first amended consent judgment entered of record for the reasons we now state.

II.

Our January 3, 1973 memorandum opinion directed attention to the impact of Monroe v. Pape, 365 U.S. 167, 81 S.Ct. 473, 5 L.Ed.2d 492 (1961), on federal court jurisdiction in cases involving state and local correctional institutions and to the Task Force Report on Corrections of the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice (1967), written some six years after the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in that case. We noted that the Task Force Report had concluded in 1967 that, generally speaking, "correctional administrators have been slow to develop policies and procedures to guide correctional officials and protect the rights of offenders" and that, in some instances, particular correctional administrators had offered "strong resistance to the introduction of increased legal controls in the correctional area."

We were able, however, to state in our original 1973 memorandum opinion in this case that:

The consent judgment presented in this case reflects a highly exceptional instance in which those responsible for the administration of a particular correctional institution went all the way in their recognition of the duty which rests upon correctional authorities to provide new procedures consistent with the requirements of the Constitution. This case presents the unusual situation in which all parties and their respective counsel agreed that this mission was accomplished within the framework of this particular litigation.

We, of course added that "this Court is most grateful for the cooperation it has received and publicly commends the parties and their counsel for their contributions and assistance."^[1]

The 1973 consent decree became effective precisely at the time the legal responsibility for the administration of the Jackson County Jail was shifted from the Sheriff of Jackson County, Missouri, to the new administrative officials authorized by the then recently adopted Jackson County Charter. The new administrative officials to be named under the Charter had been consulted during the course of the litigation and before the original consent decree was entered. Those new officials were therefore in a position to commence, and did promptly commence, the implementation of the substantial and fundamental changes required by the decree without delay.

While the physical location of the Jackson County Jail on the top floors of the forty year old Jackson County Court House and the outmoded architectural design of that facility present many problems almost incapable of solution, experience over the past four years under the original consent decree has established that the provisions and requirements of the 1973 decree have been effective in improving the operation and maintenance of that institution in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Constitution of the United States.

The parties to this action and their respective counsel, however, have commendably recognized that experience over the past four years has also established that there are areas of compliance with the 1973 consent decree, and particular modifications and changes in that decree which may be made, which will permit still further improvements under the circumstances.

When it became apparent that it might become necessary for counsel for plaintiffs to commence appropriate ancillary proceedings in this Court in regard to the enforcement of particular provisions of the original 1973 decree, counsel for the respective parties, in much the same manner as did counsel for the parties four years ago, initiated a series of conferences which enabled them to present the following joint motion to modify the 1973 consent judgment:

COME NOW the parties in the above-captioned cause, by and through their attorneys, and move the Court to enter an order for modification of a consent judgment heretofore entered by this Court on January 3, 1973.

1. That during the passage of time between the entry of the judgment on January 3, 1973 and the date of this motion a number of changes have taken place that affect the terms and conditions of the decree, and that, in the opinion of the parties, are of sufficient magnitude to warrant a request being presented to this Court to enter a modification of the original judgment to reflect such changes.

2. That as a consequence of the above the parties, by and through their representatives, have met and conferred, and as a result of such deliberations they have agreed upon a proposed amendment of the consent judgment to submit to this Court for the purpose of adoption and entry, if such meets with the approval of the Court; that a copy of the proposed first amended consent judgment and appendix thereto is attached to this motion.

3. That the parties, by and through their respective attorneys and representatives, advise the Court that this proposed first amended consent judgment is based upon the afore-mentioned factual experience in operating the facility, that is the subject of the judgment, under the terms of said decree, upon investigations made by representatives of the parties at this facility, upon information obtained from authorities in the field of corrections and from other correctional institutions, and upon reports rendered upon the operations of this facility and other such correctional institutions; and that it is further submitted by the parties hereto, acting by and through their representatives, that the entry of the proposed modified judgment would be in the best interests of the respective parties and in the best interests of justice.

That joint motion presents for our approval a first amended consent judgment signed by Ronald L. Roseman, Esq., of the Legal Aid and Defender Society of Greater Kansas City (who has represented plaintiffs throughout the pendency of this case), by the Honorable Mike White, County Executive of Jackson County, Missouri; and by Willard B. Bunch, Esq., County Counselor of Jackson County, Missouri. The first amended consent judgment incorporates three separate memoranda of agreement which have been signed by Mr. Roseman, on behalf of the plaintiffs, and by Ms. Susan M. Stanton of the Office of the Department of Corrections of Jackson County, Missouri.

This Court is most grateful for the cooperation it has received from Mr. Roseman, Mr. White, Mr. Bunch and Ms. Stanton and for their constructive and highly commendable contribution to the administration of criminal justice by their representation of the first amended consent judgment.

III.

We stated at the outset of our 1973 memorandum opinion approving the original consent judgment that we were directing publication of that consent judgment and the rules and regulations hand-book which was a part of the judgment "because of the assistance this case may render other courts dealing with questions similar to those presented in this case." 365 F.Supp. 396.

We shall, of course, direct publication of the first amended consent judgment and of the three memoranda of agreement incorporated as a part thereof by reference. Mr. Roseman and Mr. Bunch, as counsel for the respective parties, and Mr. White and Ms. Stanton, as representatives of Jackson County, Missouri, should have the satisfaction of knowing that the publication of the first amended consent judgment will give other courts and other correctional administrators throughout the country not only the benefit of the experience gained in regard to the manner in which the Jackson County Jail was operated under the original consent judgment, but of perhaps greater importance, the benefit of the experience which supported the mutual desire of the parties to make modifications and amendments to the original decree which would further improve the operation and administration of the Jackson County Jail in accordance with constitutional standards.

Both the original consent judgment and the first amended consent judgment entered in this case should therefore be persuasive evidence to the reluctant that metropolitan jails can be maintained and operated in accordance with applicable constitutional standards under Court approved procedures devised by the parties and their counsel. It should help convince those who would deprive inmates of correctional institutions access to the judicial process that after the benefit of a few years experience of actual operation, the parties are able to suggest appropriate modifications and amendments designed to further improve the overall administration of the correctional institution involved. We reiterate our expression of appreciation to those responsible for the submission of the first amended consent judgment and again commend them for a job well done.

IV.

In our memorandum opinion of January 3, 1973, approving the original consent judgment, we directed attention to particular provisions in which, so far as the reported cases then revealed, experimental provisions were introduced for the first time in that original judgment in regard to administrative review of inmate grievances, which were subject both to administrative appeal and to judicial review by the Circuit Court of the Sixteenth Judicial Circuit sitting in Kansas City, Missouri.

We did not deem it necessary to summarize other provisions of the original judgment for the reason that we directed that the entire decree and the Handbook be published in full. In the same manner, we shall direct publication of the first amended judgment and direct attention only to major innovative changes which have been agreed to by the parties.

Part I, Internal Administrative Procedures and General Provisions, Paragraph 15 reflects the commitment and binding obligation of the Department of Corrections in regard to training Correctional Officers and providing in-service training to the jail staff. The memorandum agreement attached as Exhibit B, incorporated by reference into the first amended consent judgment, reflects the recognition that a qualified Training Coordinator must be employed.

That memorandum agreement commendably recognizes the experience which reflected the failure of numerous good faith attempts to provide necessary and adequate training programs during the past four years. That experience teaches that those attempts were unsuccessful due to the lack of consistent coordination by a competent and qualified expert in the field. Persons so qualified are difficult to come by. For that reason the Court approved the timetable which permits employment of a Training Coordinator who meets the agreed job description not later than July 1, 1977. Implementation of the training program is therefore delayed until September 1, 1977.

Part V, entitled "Fact Finding Team for Compliance," is an entirely new section and reflects the willingness of the Community Relations Service (CRS) of the United States Department of Justice to assist the parties and the Court in assuring compliance with the first amended consent judgment. The Community Relations Service has agreed to provide regular service and assistance pursuant to the provisions of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. § 2000g, until released by the Court. The Court is grateful to the Community Relations Service and to the United States Department of Justice for lending its good offices under the circumstances. Successful implementation of this new provision could establish a pattern of experience which may prove to be valuable in many other cases.

Part VI, relating to Inmate Security Provisions, is also a new section. That section is specifically patterned to deal with the continuing problems of improper architectural design and to reduce jail population by the implementation of an established screening unit whose primary function will be to divert eligible inmates from pretrial custody and to place sentenced inmates into appropriate, available, and established community-based programs rather than into jail custody. Hopefully, the effective implementation of these new provisions will reduce the jail population so that the housing of inmates in cells of limited visual access may be avoided.

Paragraph 5 of Part VI codifies the beneficial four year experience of the establishment and operation of the Inmate Council. That new paragraph provides that the Inmate Council shall be continued and that the Department of Corrections shall work with the Inmate Council to resolve matters beneficial both to the inmates and the administration.

Resolution of troublesome problems at that level by inmates and staff may eliminate the necessity of administrative review under the established grievance procedures, to say nothing of State court appellate review under the provisions of the Missouri Administrative Procedures Act and Article V, Section 22 of the Constitution of Missouri, V.A.M.S., and, hopefully, on a long term basis, the necessity for further exercise of federal court jurisdiction under the Constitution and laws of the United States.

V.

For the reasons stated, it is

ORDERED (1) that the joint motion to modify consent judgment should be and the same is hereby granted. It is further

ORDERED (2) that the first amended consent judgment, together with the exhibits attached thereto and incorporated therein by reference, should be and the same are hereby approved and ordered entered as a final judgment and order of this Court. It is further

ORDERED (3) that this memorandum opinion, together with the first amended consent judgment and all its parts, should be and the same is hereby ordered to be submitted for publication in the Federal Supplement.

FIRST AMENDED CONSENT JUDGMENT

Come now the parties hereto, by and through their attorneys of record, and advise the Court by way of motion that they are mutually desirous of modifying and amending the consent judgment heretofore entered by this Court on January 3, 1973 (Goldsby v. Carnes, 365 F.Supp. 395 (W.D. MO.1973) for the reasons stated in the motion, and for that reason defendants are willing to consent to the rendition and entry of the following judgment against them, the provisions of which, when fully implemented and complied with, shall be deemed to meet or exceed minimum constitutional standards regarding the operation and maintenance of the Jackson County Jail and any other similar detentional and correctional facilities which defendant Jackson County may in the future provide under the provisions of its charter.

Now, therefore, the Court being fully advised in the premises, having conferred with the parties and their attorneys herein, having reviewed all aspects of this case to date, having fully considered the desirability of disposing of the litigation by means of amendment to the above-described judgment, knowing the same to be freely agreed to by defendants herein as is evidenced by their signatures hereto, and finding that the amendment of this judgment are fairly supported by factual agreement between the parties to this suit;

Does hereby order, adjudge, and decree that the following modified judgment, consisting of six parts and an appendix, be and the same is hereby rendered as the judgment of this Court against Jackson County Jail, County Department of Corrections, Jackson County, a political entity of the State of Missouri (the successor to Sheriff William Kenneth Carnes); the County Executive and County Legislature of Jackson County, a political subdivision of the State of Missouri (the successors to George W. Lehr, Harry Wiggins, and Joseph J. Bolger, Jr., Judges of the County Court), jointly and severally, and the employees, agents and successors of the named defendants in this action; to-wit:

PART I

INTERNAL ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES AND GENERAL PROVISIONS

16. Each inmate shall be provided with a copy of the General Information — Procedures & Rules sheet, which is a summary listing of all institutional rules and regulations. In addition, each living area shall receive a copy of the Inmate Manual, which is a complete listing of all institutional rules and regulations as it pertains directly to the inmates. The manual shall also set forth hearing procedures and the sanctions which may be imposed for each infraction or class of infraction. An inmate may be disciplined only for violations of rules listed in the manual and for no other reason. No sanctions other than those listed in the manual shall be imposed.

17. Any inmate accused of violating an inmate conduct regulation as set forth in the General Information — Procedures & Rules sheet and Inmate Manual, which includes the sanctions, shall be afforded the following procedures before imposition of any sanction:

a. The inmate shall have written notice of the specific charges against him within 24 hours of the offense, excluding weekends and holidays.

d. The inmate shall be afforded the opportunity to call a reasonable number of witnesses in his own behalf. An inmate may have the opportunity to confront his accusor and cross examine opposing witnesses unless the inmate accusor believes that there is a threat of serious physical harm to him. Upon the inmate accusor's request, the Disciplinary Committee may then refuse to allow this inmate to appear in person at the hearing. If the inmate accusor is not allowed at the hearing, the Disciplinary Committee shall document in writing the reason for this refusal and the inmate charged with the disciplinary offense shall be afforded all written reports and statements concerning the charge against him so he may refute said evidence necessary.

e. The committee shall privately review the testimony. Any finding of guilt shall be predicated upon a finding that there is substantial reason to believe that the inmate has committed the alleged infraction.

i. Any inmate who has allegedly committed an act that is in violation of the rules of this department and is so charged may be placed immediately in administrative separation but no longer than 72 hours, pending a determination by the disciplinary committee. Administrative separation is to be used only for offenses that place the inmate in danger to himself or others, or his acts may or will lead to the destruction of property.

j. Minor Dispositions — The Director of the Department of Corrections shall delegate to such persons (hearing officer) he selects, the authority to impose dispositions and sanctions for violations of minor institution rules or regulations. Minor dispositions and sanctions are those actions where the sanctions are loss of one or more of the following: visiting, commissary, program activities such as recreation, classes, etc., for a period of no greater than 14 days.

2) Each inmate so charged will be entitled to a hearing before the hearing officer held within 72 hours (excluding weekends and holidays) to present evidence.

The inmate will be given a written copy of the decision and disposition. Review of any action taken as a minor disposition will be pursuant to the review by the Director when so requested by the inmate. The Director may either turn down the appeal or convene a disciplinary committee for a hearing.

18. If an inmate is charged with a violation that could also be prosecuted in state or federal court, he shall be advised that his case may be referred to the prosecuting attorney; that he has the right to remain silent; that anything he says can and may be used against him at a subsequent trial; that he has the right to counsel; and that if he cannot afford counsel, one will be provided at no expense to him. If a case is referred to the prosecuting attorney for prosecution, internal disciplinary action may still proceed.

19. There shall be no discipline of an entire group of inmates unless it is determined that all the inmates to be disciplined participated in the wrongful act (except in quelling riots, mass destruction of property, or other mob activity). The jail shall make an attempt to remove non-participants in the event of mob activity.

20. An inmate in separation and who has lost privileges, shall receive all the hygienic articles necessary to keep himself and his cell in a clean condition; shall receive the same food, and mattresses afforded other inmates, unless the health service unit staff certifies in writing that such items are or may be harmful to the health or safety of the inmate. Inmates may not be denied access to shower, shave, court, mail, professional visits, telephone calls relating to their case, or necessary personal hygiene articles. Separation to maximum security requires assignment to a single cell and possible loss of all privileges except those items listed above. The loss of commissary and visiting shall not exceed 30 days. Inmates in separation may be allowed to use the recreation area once a week after they are in separation for over 14 days. Inmates in separation shall be seen by a member of the Health Service Unit staff and caseworker at least once a day, and shall be allowed to exercise outside their cells daily.

21. Inmates can subscribe and receive books, magazines, and periodicals. Books, magazines, and periodicals can be denied an inmate only if the publication poses a direct, clear, and immediate danger to the security of the institution or if the publication is obscene as a matter of law.

22. When a publication is withheld from an inmate due to the obscenity of the publication or they believe the publication poses a direct, clear, and immediate danger to the institution, an inmate shall then receive:

a. notice that the publication is being withheld,

b. some opportunity for the inmate either in writing or personally to object,

c. and a decision by a body that can be expected to act fairly and in accordance with the test laid out in these regulations.

23. No restrictions shall be placed on the identity of correspondents, on the number of correspondents, on the number of letters an inmate may send or receive, or on the length of letters.

24. All outgoing mail shall be sealed by the sender and placed in a departmental mailbox from which mail is delivered direct to the United States carrier.

25. Outgoing mail shall not be inspected, censored, delayed, or otherwise interfered with.

26. Letters may be typed or handwritten.

27. Incoming mail from attorneys, courts, Governor of the State of Missouri, member of the United States Congress, and the House and Senate of the State of Missouri, shall remain sealed and be delivered to the inmate addressee. Such mail may be opened in the presence of the inmate to check for contraband.

28. All incoming mail, other than listed in paragraph 27 above, shall be opened in the presence of the inmate addressee if the letter indicates on its face that it is to be opened in the presence of the addressee. All other incoming mail may be opened only for the purpose of inspecting for contraband and afterwards be delivered directly and immediately to the addressee.

29. Incoming and outgoing letters may be in any language.

30. If the inmate so requests, incoming and outgoing mail to and from the parties listed in paragraph 27 will be recorded in a central "official correspondence log."

31. Inmates may receive paperback books and similar legal materials subject only to regulations concerning obscenity and threats to the security of the institution.

32. Inmates' subscriptions to newspapers, magazines, and other periodicals, in any language, shall be permitted without restriction unless said publications have been judicially determined to be obscene under applicable constitutional standards, or otherwise violative of the federal postal laws.

33. The institution shall provide when requested once a week, indigent inmates with 2 pre-stamped legal envelopes, 4 sheets legal size paper, 2 pre-stamped letter envelopes, and 4 sheets letter size paper, and pen.

An indigent inmate is one who has no money or means of support.

34. The institution shall provide free notary service to all inmates, with notarization to take place in the presence of the inmate.

35. There shall be no additional restrictions on inmate correspondence for disciplinary, punishment, or any other reasons unless his correspondence has violated rules as to contraband; and then upon a proper showing of the alleged violation, his mail may be restricted, but this shall not apply to any restriction of attorney-client mail or court correspondence.

36. Inmates shall be allowed at least two telephone calls per week. Each such call shall be allowed for a period of at least three minutes.

37. Visits shall be allowed on a weekly basis. Children, accompanied by an adult, shall be allowed entry for visitation. Every effort shall be made to increase visitation privileges to at least twice a week.

All other times can be prearranged with the Shift Administrator. All efforts will be made to insure that the attorney will be able to see his client when necessary regardless of the time period.

39. Attorneys may request a private consultation room in order to confer with their clients, and such areas will be provided.

The parties to this action and this Court having requested the Community Relations Service (CRS) of the U.S. Department of Justice to assist the parties and the Court in assuring compliance with this Order, and CRS having agreed to provide such assistance pursuant to the provisions of Title X of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 2000g, it is agreed that:

a. CRS will serve as a fact-finder for the parties and the Court with respect to the extent of compliance with this Order. In partial discharge of this responsibility, CRS will, within 60 days from the date of this Order file with this Court and with all counsel a written report of their findings bearing on the extent of compliance. CRS will make supplementary reports of the same nature at three-month intervals for one year thereafter, and make two more reports at six-month intervals for the second year. CRS may at its discretion make more frequent reports to the Court depending upon need.

b. CRS, as fact-finder, may at reasonable times inspect jail facilities, interview inmates and county employees, inspect institutional records, and obtain other relevant information from the parties. The parties will honor and comply with other reasonable requests from CRS for information needed to document the extent of compliance.

c. CRS, in its discretion as fact-finder, may engage the services of and consult with appropriate independent specialists who shall be compensated by Jackson County, and may, further, subject to the approval of this Court, engage the services of other U.S. Justice Department personnel. Whenever the County is to compensate the specialist, the County must be notified two weeks in advance so that a contract may be issued.

d. After the second year of operation the parties may decide on another fact-finding team to fulfill the above obligations (see a, b, and c above) and to report on compliance with the Order. The parties may ask CRS to continue this responsibility.

2. Both parties agree that this fact-finding team shall continue until the Court agrees to release all parties from this responsibility. If a new fact-finding team is to be utilized, it should not differ substantially from the procedure outlined above.

INMATE SECURITY PROVISIONS

1. Inmates assigned to tanks will be locked in their cells every night at 10:00 p. m. and remain in their cells until breakfast. Headcounts, i.e. visual checks, will be made at 10:00 p. m. to assure that inmates are in the proper cell and again prior to breakfast so that any problems in a tank may be isolated to a cell during this time.

2. Living units should be observed at least every 30 minutes, 24 hours a day. In addition, cells in a tank should be visually checked four times while inmates are secured in their cells (10:00 p. m. until breakfast), and these checks should be recorded in the floor log book.

3. All living units should be checked for contraband at least once a month.

4. All new inmates will be assigned to a single cell for at least 48 hours until the classification committee can make a living unit assignment. Efforts should be made to keep an inmate in a single cell as long as possible. Juveniles will be housed in living areas separate from adults.

5. The Inmate Council shall be continued. The Department of Corrections shall work with the Inmate Council to resolve matters beneficial to both the inmates and administration.

6. The Department of Corrections shall operate a screening unit whose primary function is to divert eligible inmates from pretrial custody and to place sentenced inmates into appropriate and available programs such as Pre-Trial Diversion, McCoy House, T.A.S.C., Project Option, Release on Recognizance, and New Horizons.

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT

GOLDSBY vs. CARNES

EXHIBIT "A" — PART I, NO. 11 — RECREATION

At the present time the Department of Corrections offers the following equipment to the inmates: 21 position weight machine; 1 speed punching bag, 1 punching bag, 2 pair gloves for the above bags, 2 ping pong tables, 1 pool table, 1 air hockey table, mats for use in tumbling, boxing and gymnastics; basketball goal and backboard.

Recreation Tournaments/Intramurals — The Department of Corrections will sponsor at least eight organized recreation tournaments/intramural activities a year. These activities will provide for competition within each living unit and then competition within the institution. The winners of the tournaments will be awarded prizes.

The Department of Corrections will utilize the roof outdoor recreation at least one hour a week during the summer months, weather permitting. Due to the limited space and low fenced roof, activities will be limited to such sports as soccer, wiffle ball, horse shoes, frisbee, etc. If the inmates are receptive to the roof activities, the outdoor recreation will be for two hours a week.

Due to personnel changes the recreation unit has not been fully staffed, but will be by 3/28/77. The Department of Corrections is concerned enough about the recreation and other programs, that a Program Supervisory position was created in addition to the administrative position.

The Administrator for the programs is new in his position, and is looking for ways to expand the programs. He has contacted the Missouri Department of Corrections, Kansas State Penitentiary, Leavenworth Penitentiary, UMKC Athletic Department, Jackson County Parks & Recreation Department, and National Correctional Recreation Association in an effort to learn more, to expand our recreational programs. He will continue to find methods to improve the recreational programs.

The unit on interpersonal relationships will contain courses involving transactional analysis and reality therapy; problem solving — SOCS (Situation, Options, Consequences, Solutions); psychology of personal adjustment; applied psychology, social psychology; psychology of adolescence; abnormal psychology; intergroup conflict and prejudices; stress negotiations; and social problems. In this area we hope to be able to use materials already developed by the Regional Center and adapt them to our needs.
