In February, Dallas County started providing
arrestees with a brief assessment of their financial resources before declaring a bail amount.
(b) The police officer carrying out the arrest should prepare a memo of arrest at the time of arrest and such memo shall be attested by at least one witness, who may be either a member of the family of the
arrestee or a respectable person of the locality from where the arrest is made.
The Department of Risk Management is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide administrative services for patient
arrestee medical bills.
These decisions state a broader rule than the early strip-search cases: Any practice that requires an
arrestee to be seen naked by jail staff violates the Fourth Amendment unless reasonable suspicion exists to justify the search.
It should be noted that the court was reviewing this case to determine if it was appropriate to grant the arresting officer qualified immunity and therefore, assumed facts in a light most favorable to the
arrestee. See also U.S.
The most prevalent drug among the welfarereceiving
arrestee population was cocaine (48 Percent), followed by marijuana (27 percent) (Table 2).
Five major national surveys reported on the use of heroin among several diverse populations: the
Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (ADAM) Program (National Institute of Justice [NIJ], 1999b), the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN; Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration [SAMHSA], 1998), Monitoring the Future (MTF; Johnston, O'Malley, & Bachman, 1999), the National Household Survey of Drug Abuse (NHSDA; SAMHSA, 1999), and the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS; SAMHSA, 1997).
To explore the temporal consistency of agreement between two recent drug use measures, marijuana urinalysis results are compared to self-reported 30-day marijuana use for 33,313 juvenile
arrestees surveyed through the
Arrestee Drug Monitoring (ADAM) Program between 1991 and 1997.
Despite the low probability of harm, discharge of an
arrestee with medical needs presents a high-risk situation that demands detailed standards for medical and police conduct.
Data collected in the
Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (ADAM) program on alcohol and other drug use among
arrestees provide a valuable opportunity to examine the relationship between alcohol use and violence.
Finally, the
Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (ADAM) Program, begun as the Drug Use Forecasting (DUF) Program and funded by the National Institute of Justice, collects self-report survey data and urine specimens from a sample of
arrestees across the United States (NIJ, 1999a).
This report summarizes the results of the survey, which indicates that most facilities treat for STDs based on symptoms or by
arrestee request and do not routinely screen asymptomatic persons.
