What is the time frame to provide an inmate with a fish kit?

Providing an inmate with a fish kit within 24 hours aligns with established procedures for ensuring that inmates have access to necessary items for personal hygiene and comfort. The fish kit typically includes essential toiletries and personal items of hygiene, as mandated by the department's policy on inmate welfare.

Timely distribution of these kits is crucial for maintaining the health and well-being of inmates, reducing potential grievances related to inadequate personal care. Moreover, the 24-hour time frame reflects a balance between operational efficiency and the rights of the inmate, ensuring that they have what they need without unnecessary delay.

This policy is designed to promote a humane and caring environment within the facilities, aligning with broader goals of rehabilitation and respect for the dignity of all individuals in custody.
