They just started checking status on intake in an automated fashion. As you might be able to tell from the official report I linked to, they did a survey of the entire prison population as of Dec 31st 2009. One would presume that they took the list of inmates, ran it through the USICE system, flagged all the positive matches and flagged all the potential matches, probably those who provided social security numbers that aren't immediately able to be confirmed as belonging to them. The procedures you linked to are a way of keeping the statistics updated constantly by doing the check on intake rather than doing the check periodically later on.
Other articles, such as this one: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/03/orange-county-jails-begin-checking-immigration-status-of-all-inmates.html also note that prior to the new automated check, "specially-trained deputies screened inmates upon arrival in jail. Those who were foreign born were checked further for immigration status." So it wasn't that they weren't checking before but rather it was a manual system. They are now switching to a more automated system.
