Cell of prison as place

This code identifies a specific location within a correctional facility where an injury or other adverse event occurred. It indicates that the incident took place within an individual cell, distinguishing it from other areas of the prison.

This code is used when documenting the place of occurrence for an external cause of injury or poisoning that happened inside a prisoner's cell. Examples include falls, assaults, self-harm, or other incidents occurring within the confines of a cell.

• Always use this code as a secondary code to provide context for an external cause code (V00-Y99).
• Ensure the primary external cause code accurately reflects the nature of the injury or event.
• Distinguish between incidents occurring in a cell versus other areas of the prison (e.g., common areas, infirmary).
