Latest version.
  • The commissioner shall designate
      one or more station houses for the detention and  confinement  of  women
      under  arrest  in  the  city.  The commissioner shall provide sufficient
      accommodations for women held under arrest, keep them separate and apart
      from the cells,  corridors  and  apartments  provided  for  males  under
      arrest,  and  so arrange each station house that no communication can be
      had between men and women therein confined, except with the  consent  of
      the  officer  in  command  of  such station house. Officers or employees
      other than female staff assigned to this detail, shall  be  admitted  to
      the  corridors  or cells of the women prisoners only with the consent of
      the officer in command of such station house. In every station house  to
      which  female  members  of the force or other female staff are detailed,
      toilet  accommodations  shall  be  provided  for  female  staff,   which
      accommodations  shall  be  wholly  separate  and  apart  from the toilet
      accommodations provided for prisoners, or for male personnel attached to
      such station house.
