A. CUSTODIAL PROCEDURES
Custodial function is a highly sensitive and delicate job that requires
personnel specialization, prowess, and keen knowledge of the job and of the
hazards involved. It also requires personnel mental stability and physical attributes
needed to perform at optimum level.

Incidents of escapes due to custodial lapses, however, cannot be attributed

solely to the absence of the factors mentioned earlier. These may boil down to
laxity, lack of self-discipline, and lack of dedication to sworn to job on the part of
the personnel concerned.

It is a must that both dedication to the job and discipline be inculcated in

the hearts and minds of all personnel. These can be done thru regular meeting, PI
& E and other ways to remind personnel the essence of being a jail officers, the
nature of the job they have chosen, the things expected of them.
Custodial Unit
A. CUSTODIAL PROCEDURES

Custodial function therefore is not merely seeing to it that the personnel

is/are physically present or existent. More importantly, it refers to the personnel's
conscious efforts ensure the prevention of any untoward incidents that would
tarnish the image of the Jail Bureau and/or, and the prevention of destruction to
lives and properties.

Custodial function is never easy. It involves an intrinsically great

responsibilities, such as but not limited to, strict adherence to rules, regulations,
SOP’s, and memoranda, etc. by all concerned. However, it can be made a hobby,
notwithstanding the temptations, hardships and dangers entwined with it.

The foregoing considered, a warden is required to be present on a 24/7

basis to supervise personnel and direct the operations of his or her jail unit. Chaos,
untoward incidents, and unsound subordinates' decisions often result from the
absence of an officer particularly during emergencies.
