POLICY LaSalle Corrections (LSC) shall restrict the use of physical force to instances
of justifiable self-defense, protection of others, protection of property and
prevention of escapes and then only as a last resort and in accordance with
appropriate statutory authority. All reasonable steps shall be taken to reduce
and prevent any incident of or necessity for the Use of Force (UOF). In a
given situation, force is justified only when no reasonable alternative exists
and then only the minimum force reasonably believed necessary should be
used. In no event is physical force justifiable as punishment.
DEFINITIONS The term inmate is used synonymously with “inmate”, “detainee” and/or
“offender” throughout this document.
Basic Information - UOF data that is subject to required disclosure and includes: the time and place of
the incident, names of inmate(s) and staff directly involved, a brief narrative of the incident, a brief
description of any injuries involved and any civil action, criminal charges or administrative disciplinary
action which may have resulted from the incident.
Calculated Use of Force - A threat that is confined to an immediate area, which affords the opportunity
to plan a proper use of force.
Deadly Force - The intentional discharge of authorized firearms which could reasonably be expected to
result in death or serious bodily harm. (NOTE: Drawing a firearm and aiming it at an inmate does not
constitute Deadly Force.)
Emergency - An unforeseen event or condition, which imminently threatens the safety of individuals or
the security of the institution and requires immediate action to prevent extensive property damage.
Excessive Force - The use of more force than is objectively reasonable to accomplish a lawful purpose.
Force - Strength or energy used to persuade or cause someone to do something.
Less Than Lethal Force - Force that is not intended to cause death when used. For example, the use of
chemical agents is considered less than lethal force.
Inmate - Person in legal confinement in a secure correctional facility. The term inmate is used
synonymously with “inmate”, “detainee” and/or “offender” throughout this document.

Imminent - Will occur at any moment.

Major Force - A measure of force less than deadly force, used when:
• An inmate physically resists the application of restraints;
• Chemical agents are discharged;
• Batons or other instruments make contact with an inmate in an effort to restore or preserve
order;
• Offensive or defensive physical contact is made, to include, but not limited to, one or more
physical blows, hard pushes or defensive holds;
• An inmate is injured during a UOF, to include a bruise, contusion or wound; and
• A confrontational situation occurs where compliance with orders must be enforced.
Professional Medical Staff - A psychiatrist, psychologist, physician, physician’s assistant, mid-level
practitioner, nurse or nurse practitioner.
Prone - Lying down, with the front of the body turned toward the supporting surface. For example, an
inmate lying face down on the floor would be in a prone position.
Threat Assessment - Judgment made during the early stages of the UOF in order to determine whether
force is required or appropriate.
Unnecessary Force - The use of force when none is required or appropriate.
Use of Force - Any physical contact deliberately made by facility personnel with an inmate in a
confrontational situation to control the inmate’s behavior or to enforce an order. The term Use of Force
may be abbreviated by the letters UOF within this policy and its attachments For physical contact
between staff and an inmate to qualify as a UOF, the contact must be deliberate as opposed to accidental
and must be used to control the behavior of the inmate involved..
Use of Force Report - Documented information regarding the implementation of Major Force or Deadly
Force that shall include applicable report forms which are required under this policy, copies of which are
attached hereto. Major UOF Reports shall also include the required videotape of the incident if
available. Two photos shall be taken, one of the front and one of the back side of each inmate participant
and photos of injuries, if applicable. Force will not be used to take photos if the inmate is not
cooperating or offender is in a cell and refuses any pictures. This should be documented in the
Supervisory Summary (form 3-3108-1, Initial Use of Force Report, pages 2 and 3).

PROCEDURES
1. CONDITIONS THAT DETERMINE THE LEVEL OF FORCE APPLIED
1.1. Staff shall consider the following factors in making a proper threat assessment for a specific
situation:
1.1.1. Is there an alternate method of de-escalating or resolving the situation without a UOF?
1.1.2. Is the situation contained?
1.1.3. Is the inmate a danger to self or others?
 Policy Number: LSC 3-3108 (03/13)
Subject : Use of Force
Effective Date: October 1, 2015
Page 3 of 23

1.1.4. Is there more than one inmate involved and could this be an orchestrated distraction from
something else?
1.1.5. How many officers are in a position to assist?
1.1.6. What type of injuries may be incurred due to a UOF?
1.1.7. How severe was the rule violation by the subject inmate(s)?
1.1.8. Would the UOF be an appropriate response to the situation, based on sound correctional
judgment?
1.2. Use of force should be tempered, using the absolute minimum amount of force necessary to
control the situation. Care should be taken to avoid causing the situation to escalate. Staff shall
carefully consider whether there is an opportunity to resolve the situation without the use of
force.
1.3. The UOF Continuum presented within this policy shall be reinforced through training and study
so that all staff can determine the correct application of force in a given situation. It is essential
that each staff member understand the correct responses prior to a situation occurring. Officers
assigned to gun towers shall understand in clear terms when to use Deadly Force as well as if and
when such force is authorized in their jurisdiction. Post Orders shall contain the specific
guidelines for each post.
1.4. A determination of the amount of force needed should be made prior to every UOF, time
permitting. The actual amount of force used should coincide with that determination, provided
escalation of the situation does not occur.
1.5. Assessment should also include an assessment of possible outcomes regarding injuries to be
sustained by staff. The number of personnel utilized during the actual Use of Force shall be kept
to a minimum to avoid such injury. For example, the use of chemical agents normally presents
less opportunity for staff injury.
2. CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO THE TWO LEVELS OF FORCE
2.1. Major Force
2.1.1. Verbal instructions are insufficient to manage the situation and no reasonable alternative
exists.
2.1.2. Escorting an inmate by the arm or elbow results in physical resistance.
2.1.3. Force is needed to enforce policy and procedure in an effort to bring order to the facility.
2.1.4. Force is needed to maintain or regain control of a facility (or any part thereof) in the event of
a rebellion, riot or disturbance.
2.1.5. There is imminent danger of bodily injury to staff, inmate(s) or other persons.
2.1.6. Force is needed to prevent escape.
2.2. Deadly Force
2.2.1. Each facility must define a specific point at which escape from secure custody is imminent
and deadly force is authorized. For example, when an inmate is about to or has penetrated the
secure perimeter of the facility, deadly force is appropriate.
 Policy Number: LSC 3-3108 (03/13)
Subject : Use of Force
Effective Date: October 1, 2015
Page 4 of 23

2.2.2. Deadly Force MAY NOT be used on U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) detainees solely to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect. Deadly force may be
used only when the officer has a reasonable suspicion that the detainee poses an
imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another person.
2.2.3. Deadly Force may be applied in the following situations.
2.2.3.1. Risk of Death
There is substantial risk that the inmate will cause the death of another person unless
Deadly Force is used.
2.2.3.2. Serious Bodily Injury
There is substantial risk that the inmate will cause serious bodily injury to another person
unless Deadly Force is used.
2.2.3.3. Escape
Escaping inmate(s) may be subject to Deadly Force if the escape is actually in progress.
2.2.3.4. Protection of Property
Protection of property may be a reason to apply Deadly Force in cases such as arson
when that act, if completed, is likely to cause serious bodily injury or death to another
person. The officer must reasonably believe that such force is necessary to prevent the
serious bodily injury or death of another person.
2.2.3.5. Authorization
2.2.3.5.1. Authorization for Use of Deadly Force shall ordinarily be sought from the warden,
except in emergencies were death or serious bodily injury may result if action is not
immediately taken (or when standing orders are in place). For example, deadly force
is authorized by policy when escape from a secure perimeter occurs.
2.2.3.5.2. The warden of each facility shall ensure that the application of Deadly Force is
clearly defined for the facility and in all Post Orders. Only certain posts may use
Deadly Force without prior approval.
2.2.3.5.3. An employee shall use appropriate force and later will be required to justify that
action based upon the above criteria.
3. EMPLOYING USE OF FORCE
3.1. Confrontation Avoidance
3.1.1. If time permits before authorizing the calculated UOF, the ranking officer should seek
information from others such as professional medical staff and the classification department
to assist in determining the appropriate UOF.
3.1.2. The ranking officer should consider the following factors:
3.1.2.1. Medical/Mental history, especially medical conditions or diseases which may be
adversely affected by chemical agents, pepper mace or other non-lethal weapons,
3.1.2.2. Recent incident reports involving the inmate and any trauma which may be contributing
to the inmate’s state of mind, including such events as pending criminal prosecution,
divorce, illness, death, etc., and
 Policy Number: LSC 3-3108 (03/13)
Subject : Use of Force
Effective Date: October 1, 2015
Page 5 of 23

3.1.2.3. Information gathered from questioning staff who are familiar with the inmate and may
offer insight into the inmate’s current agitation.
3.1.3. Staff members who have an established rapport with the inmate or whose personality
suggests they might be able to reason with the inmate may be recruited to assist and possibly
avoid a UOF.
3.2. Using Force - When an inmate acts violently or appears on the verge of violent action staff shall
use reasonable force and/or restraints if necessary to prevent him or her from harming self, others
and/or property
3.3. The use of video camera generally has confrontational de-escalating value and should be
employed as quickly as possible
3.4. Types of Force
3.4.1. Immediate Use of Force
3.4.2. Calculated Use of Force
3.4.3. Use of Force Team
3.4.3.1. Use of Four Point Restraint Technique
3.4.3.2. Less Than Lethal Force
3.4.3.3. Lethal Force (Deadly Force)
3.5. Employing The Use of Force
3.5.1. Immediate Use of Force
3.5.1.1. An “Immediate UOF” situation is created when an inmate’s behavior constitutes a
serious and immediate threat to self, staff, another inmate, property or the security and
orderly operation of the facility. In this situation, staff may respond without a
supervisor’s direction or presence.
3.5.1.2. Each facility should prepare an Emergency Response Plan indicating which employees
or posts should respond to an emergency situation so that staff in other areas of the
facility will understand that they have expanded responsibilities.
3.5.2. Use of Video Camera during Use of Force
The video camera shall be requested and brought to the location of the UOF as quickly
as possible and utilized to videotape as much as possible. The camera shall be set to a
wide angle setting to record the entire situation.
3.5.3. Calculated Use of Force
3.5.3.1. If an inmate is in an isolated location is (for example, a locked cell) where there is no
immediate threat to the inmate for others, the officer(s) shall take the time to assess the
possibility of resolving the situation without resorting to force.
3.5.3.1.1. Circumstances
• Calculated UOF is appropriate when the inmate is in a cell or other area with a
securable door or grill; even if the inmate is verbalizing threats or brandishing a
weapon, provided staff sees no immediate danger to the subject inmate or others.
 Policy Number: LSC 3-3108 (03/13)
Subject : Use of Force
Effective Date: October 1, 2015
Page 6 of 23

• The Calculated Use of Force allows staff time to strategize, resolving situations in
the least confrontational manner and with the least risk of injury to the inmate or
staff.
3.5.3.1.2. Documentation
• All UOF incidents will be documented on the appropriate UOF forms.
• Videotaping is required for all calculated UOF incidents.
• Written documentation and the videotape shall be maintained for review.
3.5.3.1.3. Employee UOF Team Technique (Calculated UOF)
• When an inmate must be moved and/or restrained during a Calculated UOF, the
UOF Team Technique shall apply.
• The team technique usually involves five or more trained staff members clothed
in protective gear, including helmet with face shield, knife-resistant vest, gloves
and knee, forearm and elbow protectors.
• Correctional officers selected for an emergency team should preferably be
experienced and have specialized training before undertaking their assignments.
Team members enter the inmate’s area together, with coordinated responsibility
for achieving immediate control of the inmate.
• Staff shall be trained in the UOF Team Technique in sufficient numbers for teams
to be quickly convened on all shifts throughout the facility.
• The supervisor on duty must be on the scene before any UOF. He or she shall
direct the operation, continuously monitoring staff compliance with policy and
procedures. The supervisor shall not participate except to prevent staff injury.
• Professional medical staff shall be present if possible to observe and immediately
treat any injuries.
• The UOF Team may expand to include staff with specific skills, such as handling
chemical agents.
• The supervisor on duty will exclude from the UOF Team, any staff member
involved in an incident which precipitated the need for force.
• When restraints are necessary, the team will choose the least restrictive
ambulatory restraints and progress to the next level needed, up to 4-point
restraints.
• Calculated Use of Force videotape will begin as follows:
¨ Introduction by Team Leader, stating facility name, location, time, date, etc.,
description of the incident which led to the Calculated UOF and naming the
video camera operator and other staff present.
¨ Faces of all team members briefly appear (helmets removed, heads
uncovered), one at a time, identified by name and title.
 Policy Number: LSC 3-3108 (03/13)
Subject : Use of Force
Effective Date: October 1, 2015
Page 7 of 23

¨ Team Leader offers the inmate a last chance to cooperate before action,
outlining UOF procedures, engaging in confrontation avoidance and issuing
the UOF order.
• Entire UOF operation is videotaped until the inmate is secured. Tape will not be
edited under any circumstance. Close-ups of the inmate body may focus on the
presence/absence of injuries. Staff injuries, if any, may be photographed but not
videotaped.
• The videotape shall be catalogued and preserved for at least 3 years.
• UOF videotapes shall be available for incident reviews and may also be used for
training.
• Form 3-3106-4, Security Equipment Control Log, shall document video camera
usage. Every time the video camera is acquired from Central Control and returned
to Central Control shall be recorded on the form, a copy of which is included with
this policy.
• The release of UOF videotapes to the news media shall occur only with the
approval from the LaSalle Corrections Executive Director – Texas (EDT).
• Staff shall store UOF equipment in a UOF closet under the same secure
conditions as class A tools.
• The Warden shall designate responsibility for maintaining the video camera
which shall include testing all parts and batteries as well as keeping backup

ways. The inmate shall be monitored for signs of regurgitation and staff shall take
immediate steps to clear his or her airway should that occur.
3.5.4.10. Medical staff shall initially check the condition of the inmate and then 15 minutes
later a check by security staff shall occur. This observation schedule (alternating
between security and medical staff) shall be conducted every 15 minutes until the
inmate is released from the 4-point restraint. Any medical problems will be reported
to the Warden. These checks shall be documented on form 3-3108-10, Placement in
4-Point Restraints. Professional medical staff shall test the inmate’s breathing and
other vital signs as well as physical and verbal responses.
3.5.4.11. An inmate will not be held in 4-point restraints for more than two hours unless the
original condition still exists and both the medical and security supervisors agree that
restraint remains necessary and can be continued safely.
3.5.4.12. If an inmate remains in 4-point restraints for more than two hours, the inmate may be
afforded the opportunity to use the toilet unless the inmate actively resists or becomes
combative when released from the restraints.
3.5.4.13. The decision to release the inmate or apply less restraint shall not be delegated below

himself/herself nor harm himself/herself with the straps.
• Medical staff shall determine if the restraints are too tight and check for any
injuries that may have occurred. If not previously determined, medical staff shall
review medical records to identify if any medical condition might affect the use of
the restraint. Any conditions will be documented.
• All staff involved in any UOF shall be examined by medical staff for injuries and
the results shall be documented on the appropriate UOF form.
• All relevant information concerning a restrained inmate will be entered in the

date, time, details of the event, visits from any officials, and the signature of the
reporting staff.
• The shift supervisor will complete a UOF packet, including all relevant
documentation, immediately after the application of 4-point restraints by force or
before the end of the shift.
• Each correctional officer shall be trained in approved methods of the UOF and
that use of force is a last resort to control inmates.
3.5.5. Compliant Inmate Placement in Four Point Restraints
3.5.5.1. Documentation of inmates that are compliant when placed in 4-Point Restraints
and therefore do not require the use of force during placement in the 4-Point
restraints, shall be reported as a Level 3 (See level 3.8) Critical Incident, as
outlined in form 3-3006-1, Critical Incident Priority Levels Chart, and form
3-3108-10, Placement in 4-Point Restraints, shall be completed.

3.5.6.2. If a UOF is required to place the inmate in a 4-point restraint, it should be

reported as a Priority 2 UOF incident or elevated to Priority 1 UOF incident if
there is serious injury, as outlined in form 3-3006-1, Critical Incident Priority
Levels Chart.
3.5.6.3. See form 3-3108-121, Placement Guidelines – Non-Compliant Inmate
4. Employing Lethal (Deadly) Force
4.5. Deadly force may be used only for the following incidents:
4.5.1. Risk of death – Substantial risk that the inmate will cause the death of another person.
4.5.2. Serious bodily injury – Substantial risk that the inmate will cause the serious bodily
injury of another person unless deadly force is used.
4.5.3. Escaping inmate – Deadly force may be applied to an escaping inmate from secure
custody if the escape is actually in progress and cannot be prevented in a less violent
manner.
4.5.4. Protection of property – Deadly force may be used to protect property in cases such as
arson, when the act is likely to cause serious bodily injury or death, if the officer
reasonably believes such force is necessary to prevent death or serious bodily injury of
another person.
5. UOF Continuum
5.1. All correctional staff shall be trained in approved methods of self-defense and the use of force
as a last resort to control inmates and then only after all reasonable efforts to de-escalate the
situation have failed. The level of force used in a confrontational situation is directly related to
the amount of inmate resistance, as illustrated in Chart 1. The Use of Force Continuum on the
following page.
 Policy Number: LSC 3-3108 (03/13)
Subject : Use of Force
Effective Date: October 1, 2015

CHART 1. The Use Of Force Continuum

The Role of Inmate Behavior In Determining a Use of Force Response
Reminder: The use of a video camera generally has value in de-escalating most potential uses of force.
Through his/her own actions, an inmate may enter into the continuum at any level. For example in a
situation of NON-COMPLIANCE WITH ORDERS. The inmate’s actions then enter him/her into the continuum
at level 1. Staff response would initially be PHYSICAL PRESENCE, i.e. the actual physical presence of a staff
member. This may resolve the situation without increase in force.
The inmate’s actions may escalate due to a number of factors. The staff member’s justifiable response
should be within the level of resistance or aggression exhibited by the inmate, as per the table below.
An inmate could enter the continuum at Continuum Level 7, in which he or she is escaping or
participating in a lethal assault. Justifiable staff response may be the use of lethal force.
The incident may be resolved at any level of the continuum when the inmate resistance or action stops.
In addition, generally speaking, with a lesser use of force, fewer injuries are incurred, while with a greater
use of force greater injuries generally are incurred.
