10 <br /> Detention Center Staffing Analysis Orange County, NC <br /> # Recommendation <br /> 23 In addition to remote video visitation, implement an in-person visitation program <br /> (public and professional) for detainees. This includes devising an appropriate <br /> schedule that will also accommodate the Public Defender and private attorneys. <br /> Recommended staff resources will allow this to occur if properly scheduled with <br /> potentially concurrent detainee program efforts and attorney visits. <br /> 24 Implement detainee programs in partnership with the County's Criminal Justice <br /> Resource Department. This should begin with up to ten hours weekly. <br /> Recommended staff resources will allow this to occur if properly scheduled with <br /> potentially concurrent detainee in-person visitations and attorney visits. <br /> 25 Increase the number of hours available for outdoor recreation. <br /> 26 Take full advantage of any Detention Officer work capacity by implementing <br /> various direct supervision protocols as discussed in this report.
