Who is responsible for handling emergency procedures during an inmate's injury?

The supervisor and aiding staff are responsible for handling emergency procedures during an inmate's injury because they are trained to respond effectively and follow established protocols within the facility. This includes assessing the situation, providing immediate aid, coordinating with medical personnel, and ensuring that the incident is documented and any necessary follow-up actions are taken. The supervisor typically has the authority and responsibility to manage the overall response, ensuring that all staff members are performing their roles as needed.

Emergency medical personnel are vital for providing care, but they are usually summoned to the scene rather than being responsible for initiating emergency procedures within the facility. A fellow inmate lacks the training and authority to handle emergency situations effectively and could potentially worsen the situation. While the sheriff on duty plays a significant role in overseeing the entire operation, the immediate responsibility for emergency procedures falls to the supervisor and the staff present at the incident.
