psychologist and a review of other available background documents. Sentencing
Memoranda and evaluations attached to the J & C orders could benefit the intake process.

C. Medical Care at DC Jail/CDF and CTF: Non-emergency care is staffed by Unity
Health Care. Inmates schedule appointments to receive medical attention through their
