A pre-inspection briefing was held on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, and the following facility was inspected on Thursday, October 2, 2025: FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE Butte County Jail 0340 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 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 items of noncompliance with Title 15 Minimum Standards: Prior to the completion of this report, the facility had corrected one portion of a regulation that was initially found noncompliant: § 1056 – Use of Sobering Cell: The facility provided verification that health staff notates the proper reasoning for each safety cell placement on the Sobering Cell Monitoring Log. The following items of Title 15 Minimum Standards remain noncompliant, and your administrative staff is working towards corrective measures: Kory Honea Sheriff-Coroner Page 2 § 1027.5 – Safety Checks (d): Safety checks for areas requiring hourly safety checks lacked variance; they were conducted and logged every 50 minutes throughout the shifts. § 1056 – Use of Sobering Cell: Although safety checks were conducted more than the minimum requirement, they lacked variance. The sample documentation reviewed indicates safety checks for sobering cell placements were conducted and logged every 15 minutes throughout the placements. § 1058 – Use of Restraint Devices (b)(4), (b)(8): BSCC staff was unable to verify that continued retention was reviewed a minimum of every hour, as it was not notated on the observation logs or the reports. Although safety checks were conducted at least twice every 30 minutes, they lacked variance. The sample documentation reviewed indicates that safety checks for restraint placements were conducted and logged every 15 minutes throughout the placements. Refer to the attached Procedures Checklist for detailed information. There were no items of noncompliance regarding Title 24. Refer to the Physical Plant Evaluation and Living Area Space Evaluation attachments for information related to Rated Capacity and Title 24 compliance. CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN (CAP) An Exit Briefing with your staff was held on Thursday, October 9, 2025; BSCC staff presented an overview of the inspection and discussed technical assistance and best practice recommendations. BSCC staff reviewed and provided an Initial Inspection Report for noncompliance items found during the inspection. Your agency will need to provide BSCC staff with a CAP addressing the aforementioned items of noncompliance by November 10, 2025. We will respond to the CAP under a separate cover letter. * * * Please email me at jovin.adamos@bscc.ca.gov or call (916) 207-7074 if you have any questions. Sincerely, JOVIN L.
