11. Ensuring Equitable and Consistent Access to Hygiene Kits in the Los
Angeles County Jails
Recommendation as submitted by Supervisor Hahn: Request the Sheriff to:
Implement a more equitable and consistent process so that any
incarcerated person in County jails can access hygiene kits, without
cost, per Title 15 frequency standards or better or when requested, in 30
days; and
In consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, identify another form of
appropriate funding and/or ensure the full cost is included in the
Department’s annual budget as a codified requirement to provide free
hygiene kits for incarcerated persons.
Direct the Interim Inspector General, in collaboration with County Counsel, to
review the annual itemized report of the Inmate Welfare Fund expenditures, 30
days before they are submitted to the Board, with any findings and concerns,
including if any are repeatable findings per Directive 1. (26-4569)
