2) Family must provide name and contact information for hospital, coroner or funeral home, when the service is, and what county the TCL will be held at. The contact information that is needed is: Name, phone number, address, FAX #.
3) All expenses must be reimbursed from the inmate or your family. An inmate must sign three trust account withdrawal forms, CDC Form 193. These documents are to be included with the TCL request packet for review by the Warden. The CCI (counselor) shall complaet the Form CDC 1839 Exemption of family visit/temporary community leave funds from Restitution Fines/Orders.
There are four ways to send money, in order to provide for the service:

4) For Custody Officers to be approved to do a TCL thre are set criteria that have to be met first. The Custody Officers must have annual training in transportation of inmates. A list of all Custody Officers who are currently qualified for TCL's will be provided on a monthly basis by the In Service Training Lieutenant to the Correctional Captain, Watch Commander, all Facility Captains and Correctional Counselors.
5) The inmate must wear state clothing unless approval is given by the Warden or designee, when the paperwork is first submitted. The inmate shall be transported in state clothing and change into personal clothes upon arrival to their TCL.
