Chair Farías questions DOC on doula service frequency and staffing
Farías asks whether DOC follows the administrative code minimum of twice-weekly doula services for four hours with two doulas. Greysock says the Caribbean Women's Health Association is on site at least twice weekly for four hours.
Okay, and then in terms of the administrative code requiring that doula services be provided,
at a frequency of at least twice a week for four hours with at least two doulas available.
Does DOC follow this minimum or does it provide greater access to doula services than that?
Thank you for your question.
Yes, we have a wonderful partnership with the Women's Caribbean Health Association, and they are at Rosen Singer at least twice a week for four hours each day.
Okay, and how many doulas currently provide services to people in custody at DOC?
Two doulas.
Two doulas.
And just give me there how many days per week they're available, usual hours of availability.
They're typically on site twice a week for at least four hours, sometimes longer.
Okay.
