5. (5) All components of the facility's physical plant (including “blind-spots” or areas where staff or inmates may be isolated);
6. (6) The composition of the inmate population;
7. (7) The number and placement of supervisory staff;
8. (8) Institution programs occurring on a particular shift;
9. (9) Any applicable State or local laws, regulations, or standards;
10. (10) The prevalence of substantiated and unsubstantiated incidents of sexual abuse; and
11. (11) Any other relevant factors.

(c) Whenever necessary, but no less frequently than once each year, for each facility the agency operates, in consultation with the PREA coordinator required by § 115.11, the agency shall assess, determine, and document whether adjustments are needed to:

1. (1) The staffing plan established pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section;
2. (2) The facility's deployment of video monitoring systems and other monitoring technologies; and
3. (3) The resources the facility has available to commit to ensure adherence to the staffing plan.
