Policies & Procedures

River City Correctional Center has a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of Sexual Abuse and Sexual Harassment. All allegations and suspicions of Sexual Abuse and Sexual Harassment are investigated to the fullest. All allegations that appear criminal will be reported to the local law enforcement agencies.

To make a report of Sexual Abuse and Sexual Harassment on behalf of a resident you can call 946-6889.

Upon arrival at intake, all incoming residents will have their property searched. All personal items, with the exception of undergarments and shoes, will be picked up by a family member or friend. The property must be picked up within two weeks of admission.
If the personal property is not picked up within the two week time frame, it will be disposed of by staff. If a resident is from out of county, it may be held until his/her first visit. It is the resident's responsibility to ensure their visitor is aware to pick up their property. If a resident does not receive any visits during their stay at the River City Correctional Center, decisions regarding their property will be made on a case by case basis by the Security Supervisor assigned to his/her Pod.
Items such as jewelry, cell phones, wallets, etc., will be kept for a maximum of six months. After six months, the items may be disposed of at the discretion of the Executive Director or designee.
All residents will wear a uniform during their stay at the River City Correctional Center. Male residents will wear a green uniform during Orientation phase, while female residents will wear an orange uniform. As the resident progresses through the phases, they will wear either a yellow or blue shirt, and green or orange pants.
All items must be purchased from the facility third party commissary list. No packages will be permitted into the facility from any other sources. Any packages received will be marked return to sender. River City will not be responsible for any packages incoming or outgoing and will not reimburse for any missing items.
When a resident reaches the later stage of the re-entry phase and is eligible to job seek, a second drop off will be authorized. The Employment Specialist assigned to the resident's Pod will inform the Security staff who will be eligible in the upcoming week. The only items permitted to be dropped off are four pair of pants, four shirts and work shoes. Boots are not permitted unless required by a job.
