RE: 2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION, PENAL CODE 6031, WELFARE & INSTITUTION
CODE209ALAMEDA COUNTY TYPE II AND COURT HOLDING FACILITIES
Dear Sheriff Ahern:
The 2020-2022 biennial inspection of the Alameda County Sheriff Office’s jail and its court
holding facilities has been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on August 30, 2022
and the facilities were inspected on September 13, 2022. The following facilities were inspected:
Alameda County Santa Rita Jail
Wiley W. Manuel Court Holding Juvenile Justice Center
Fremont Hall of Justice Hayward Hall of Justice
Pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031, these inspections were performed to determine
compliance with the Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities as outlined in Titles 15
and 24, California Code of Regulations. In addition, BSCC staff conducted compliance
monitoring pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 209(f) for the federal Juvenile
Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) for the separation requirements of juveniles
from incarcerated adults.
The complete Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) inspection report is enclosed
and consists of the following: this transmittal letter; a Title 15 Procedures checklist, outlining
applicable minimum standards for juvenile detention facilities; a Physical Plant Evaluation,
outlining applicable Title 24 minimum standards; and the Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE),
summarizing the physical plant configuration and outlining the rated capacity of the Alameda
County Jail and Court Holding facilities.
Please refer to the Title 15 Procedures Checklist for a summary of all relevant minimum
standards, indication of compliance or noncompliance, and information used to determine
compliance.

MANDATORY LOCAL INSPECTIONS
In addition to the biennial inspection by the 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).
Results of those inspections are considered a part of this report. The dates of the local
inspections are listed below. We encourage the practice of maintaining a permanent file for
historical copies of all inspections including documentation of corrections made following the
inspection.

SCOPE OF THE INSPECTION
The inspection consisted of a review of the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office and its Court Holding
Policy and Procedures Manuals1, site visits to review operations, physical plants, relevant
documentation, and interviews with administration, facility staff, inmates, and collaborative
partners.
BSCC INSPECTION RESULTS
Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards
Upon final review of all documentation, there were no items of noncompliance noted for the court
holding facilities. There was one area of noncompliance related to Title 15 and the use of
sobering cells noted at the Santa Rita Jail. A corrective action plan has been submitted and
BSCC staff will continue to monitor the progress in satisfying the issue of noncompliance. The
agency has completed physical plant modifications for the use of “Observation/Special Use”
holding cells and sobering cells, however, the agency is in the process of developing policy
language to direct staff in the proper use of these cells. Once policy language supporting the
use of these cells has been finalized, and implemented, the agency will notify BSCC staff and
provide the policy changes.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
1BSCC reviews only those policy and procedures required by, and applicable to, Title 15, CCR. BSCC staff do not
“approve” policies and procedures or assess them for constitutional or legal issues. Agencies should seek review
through their legal advisor, risk manager, and other persons deemed appropriate for such evaluation.

During the physical plant inspections there were no areas of noncompliance noted for the court
holding facilities. There are two areas of noncompliance that were observed at the Santa Rita
Jail and are listed below.
1231.2.22 Audio monitoring system
In court holding, temporary holding, Type I, Type II and Type II facilities there shall be an inmate-
or sound-actuated audio monitoring system in temporary holding cells or rooms, temporary
staging cells or rooms, sobering cells, safety cells, single and double occupancy cells,
dormitories, dayrooms, exercise areas and correctional program/multipurpose space, which is
capable of alerting personnel who can respond immediately.
1231.3.5 Beds
Beds must be elevated off the floor, have a solid bottom, and a sleeping surface of at least 30
inches (762 mm) wide and 76 inches (1930 mm) long. Except in minimum security areas, beds
must be securely fastened to the floor or the wall.
Please see the Physical Plant Evaluation for more information.
Training
According to the most recent Standards and Training for Corrections audit, the Alameda County
Sheriff’s Office and Court Holding facilities are compliant with all relevant regulations and
mandates and mitigating circumstances if applicable.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) Compliance Monitoring
We reviewed applicable policies, documentation, and practices along with a physical plant
inspection of the Alameda County court holding facilities and the Santa Rita Jail where we found
no violations of the JJDPA. Please refer to Title 15 Procedures checklist for detailed information.
Corrective Action
On September 13, 2022, BSCC staff held an Exit Briefing with your staff. During that briefing,
BSCC staff provided an overview of the biennial inspection and provided technical assistance
and best practice recommendations. BSCC staff reviewed your agency’s noncompliance issues
found during the desk audit and onsite inspection. Your agency provided BSCC staff with a
Corrective Action Plan (CAP) addressing the Title 15 issue regarding the use of sobering cells
at the Santa Rita Jail on September 20, 2022; we will respond to the CAP under a separate
cover letter.

The issues of noncompliance related to Title 24, specifically the use of temporary plastic beds
and inoperable audio monitoring systems, remain outstanding and require that a corrective
action plan be submitted to BSCC staff by December 13, 2022.
