 7 population incarcerated individuals at a maximum security facility.
 8 Each such officer shall wear a personal video recording device affixed
 9 to their uniform while on duty in the facility. The personal video
 10 recording device shall record all the interactions of a correction offi-
 11 cer and incarcerated individuals under their care, custody and control.
 12 The recording shall include both audio and video.
