Title 15 Section 1027.5 Safety Checks
BSCC staff reviewed documentation of safety checks and found that, while facility staff
continue to show improvement in the timeliness of safety checks, there were still
numerous safety checks in excess of 60 minutes from the previous safety check,
spanning various housing units, shifts, and dates. Therefore, the facility remains
noncompliant with this regulation.
