“During our unannounced inspection of Winn Correctional Center (Winn) in Winnfield, Louisiana, we found it complied with Performance-Based National Detention Standards 2011, as revised in December 2016, for the Special Management Units (SMU), general hygiene, and the grievance system. However, the facility did not fully comply with reviewed standards for environmental health and safety, food service, use of force, medical care, classification, voluntary work program, legal access and materials, staff-detainee communication, and outdoor recreation in the SMU.“
