CIC Visits CTF and CDF in February 2019 to Investigate Access to Outdoor Recreation
The CIC visited the Correctional Treatment Facility (CTF) and the Central Detention Facility (CDF) on February 25 and 26, 2019 respectively, in order to inquire about the frequency of outdoor recreation for inmates. The CIC had previously received reports that units were being denied access to outdoor recreation. We spoke with the Warden, Executive Staff, and inmates, who were all forthcoming with their perspectives on the matter. Our short thematic report details the issues and findings. The DC Department of Corrections (DOC) has not yet issued a response to the report.
