Dear Sheriff Sanchez:
The 2025-2026 Comprehensive Inspection of the Alameda County Sheriff's Office has
been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on Thursday, April 3, 2025, and a
pre-visit briefing was held on Tuesday, July 22, 2025. The following facility was inspected
on Thursday, August 21, 2025:
FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
Santa Rita Jail 0065 II
This inspection was conducted pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031 to determine
compliance with the Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities as outlined in Titles
15 and 24, California Code of Regulations.
In addition to inspection(s) by the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC),
inspections are also required annually by the County Health Officer and biennially by the
State Fire Marshal or an authorized representative (Health and Safety Code Sections
101045 and 13146.1). The results of those inspections are considered a part of this report.
INSPECTION RESULTS
We identified the following item of noncompliance with Title 15 Minimum Standards:
Title 15 Section 1027.5, Safety Checks, Subsection (b) There shall be no more than a 60-
minute lapse between safety checks:
BSCC staff reviewed a random sample of 24-hour safety check logs between January
and September 2025 for each house and the ITR. After the review, BSCC staff
determined Houses 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 21, 23, 25, 32, 33, and 35 had multiple days with multiple
safety checks that exceeded 60 minutes.
Refer to the attached Procedures Checklist for detailed information.

classification. All reasonable efforts shall be made
to meet these minimum hourly requirements, and
if time, staffing, and circumstances permit, Agency
members shall attempt to provide out-of-cell time
beyond the minimum for each classification.
During the initial policy review, BSCC staff found a
lack of specificity with the amount of time
incarcerated people are out of their cell each
week. BSCC staff discussed this with facility
supervision prior to the onsite inspection and staff
added the BSCC minimum requirements to the
Deputy Post Orders.
Additionally, when BSCC staff reviewed individual
out of cell time logs, we found that, when an
individual refuses out of cell time, the system
records that they were offered one hour (when in
actuality, more time is allowed). BSCC discussed
this with agency supervision and recognized this
could be a technical issue with the Guardian RFID
system.
