Staff gave participants a complete preview of the visit and provided a schedule of the inspection. BSCC staff provided applicable checklists and answered any questions. DuringFebruary 6-9, 2023, the2023-2024biennial inspections of the Butte County Jail and court holding facilities were conducted. The facilities were reviewed for compliance with the Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities, as outlined in Titles 15 and 24, California Code of Regulations. The inspection consisted of a review of applicable written policies and procedures governing the operation of the facilities, a site visit, and a review of documentation to verify that regulated practices occur as required. The complete BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of this transmittal letter; the Procedures Checklists outlining applicable Title 15 sections for both custody and court holding facilities; and individual Physical Plant Evaluations and Living Area Space Evaluations that summarize each facility’s physical plant configuration. We encourage the practice of maintaining a permanent file for historical copies of all inspections, that would also include documentation of corrections made following the inspection. This file should be the first point of reference when preparing for all future inspections. LOCAL INSPECTIONS In addition to a biennial inspection by the BSCC, inspections are required by the County Health Officer annually and the State Fire Marshal (or designee) biennially.

BSCC INSPECTION Title 24, Physical Plant Jail: Completed in 1965, the jail is evaluated against Title 24 standards from 1963 and 1994.1 The rated capacity is 614 inmates, 558 were housed at the time of our visit. The facility was serviceable. No housing units were overcrowded. No issues of non-compliance were noted. Butte County Superior Court - Oroville: Completed in 1996, this facility is evaluated against the 1994 and 2001 Title 24 standards. No issues of non-compliance were noted. North Superior Court - Chico: Completed in 2015, this facility is evaluated against the 2010 Title 24 standards. No issues of non-compliance were noted. Title 15, Minimum Standards – Procedural and Operational Review Butte County Jail, #0340: Prior to and during the inspection, BSCC staff received and reviewed applicable policy, procedures, practices and supporting documentation as indicated. BSCC also reviewed a variety of records to ensure that procedures relevant to Title 15 standards matched policy and that all required procedures were being performed within regulated criteria. To assess the 1 Facilities are evaluated against the versions of Title 24 in effect at the time of construction or significant remodel. It is common for different revisions of Title 24 to be applicable to a single facility. 0340+ Butte Sheriff’s Office II CH LTR 23-24 Kory Honea Sheriff - Coroner Page 3 facility’s staffing levels, BSCC reviewed security logs, shift rosters, incident reports, and related records which give insight to the facility’s operation. In reviewing policies and procedures during the 2023-2024 cycle, consideration was given to agency’s Emergency Suspension of Services related to the COVID-19 emergency measures taken and authorized by the Board of State and Community Corrections. For the safety of the inmates and staff, the Butte County Sheriff’s Office had suspended the following services at times since the last BSCC Inspection: Section 1061 Inmate Education Programs 04/07/2020 – 02/28/2022 Section 1062 Visitation 03/22/2020 – 09/26/2022 Section 1070 Individual /Family Service Programs 04/07/2020 – 02/28/2022 Section 1072 Religious Observances 04/07/2020 – 11/16/2022 Section 1267 Hair Care Services 01/12/2022 – 02/28/2022 BSCC staff reviewed policy and procedures for these sections and any mitigation measures taken to minimize the impact of the suspension of these services while they were suspended. All services have been reinstated and were reviewed. Policy and procedures for the jail are found in Departmental Orders and Butte County Sheriff’s Department Manual. The following items of non-compliance were identified: Title 15, Section 1027.5: Safety Checks The facility administrator shall develop and implement policy and procedures for conducting safety checks that include a written plan that includes the documentation of all safety checks. Documentation shall include initials or employee identification number of staff who completed the safety check. Changes to Title 15 that went into effect January of 2023 require the agency to modify the format of their check sheet, to properly record the employee number of the employee checking specific dorms and cells. All checks are being completed randomly and in accordance with this section. BSCC staff reviewed January 2023 Safety Checks and was unable to identify which employee had conducted the specific check. The agency is updating the form, this will correct the finding. Title 15, Section 1045: Public Information Plan Each facility administrator of a Type I, II, III, or IV facility shall develop written policies and procedures for the dissemination of information to the public, to other government agencies, and to the news media. The public and incarcerated persons shall have available for review the Board of State and Community Corrections Minimum Standards 0340+ Butte Sheriff’s Office II CH LTR 23-24 Kory Honea Sheriff - Coroner Page 4 for Local Detention Facilities as found in Title 15 of the California Code of Regulations2 and specific facility rules and procedures affecting incarcerated people. The Sheriff’s Office makes the Custody Manual and Inmate Handbook available to the public via website. Copies of the plan and Title 15 are made available to inmates and the public. BSCC staff requested to view the facility's public information plan and Title 15 available to those in custody and the public. At the time, neither was available but the compliance supervisor corrected this by printing both out. The plan and Title 15 are now available at the public counter and the legal library, correcting this finding. Title 15, Section 1053: Administrative Segregation Administrative segregation shall consist of separate and secure housing but shall not involve any other deprivation of privileges than is necessary to obtain the objective of protecting the inmate and staff. BSCC staff found that in cases where inmates need to be held pending an incident, criminal/disruptive behavior, or self-harm, they are placed in rooms that are intended for interviews or temporary processing, or in a Personal Detention Equipment (PDE) that is typically used for telemedical interviews. Because the facility lacks safety cells or more temporary holding cells, these rooms or PDEs are often used several hours and were not designed with a bunk, toilet, or fountain. This deprives access to these items for the time held until other arrangements or re-classification takes place. The agency is conducting increased checks on these persons and regularly ensuring that they have water and food, but these rooms or holding systems are not approved for housing. Title 15, Section 1280: Facility Sanitation, Safety, and Maintenance The facility administrator shall develop written policies and procedures for the maintenance of an acceptable level of cleanliness, repair, and safety throughout the facility. Such a plan shall provide for a regular schedule of housekeeping tasks and inspections to identify and correct unsanitary or unsafe conditions or work practices which may be found. BSCC staff found that due to the age of the facility and extensive use, the facility has numerous maintenance and sanitation issues. A plan needs to be implemented that ensures periodic inspection, with facility maintenance and verification by supervisory staff. All items identified during the inspection have been submitted to the County Maintenance Department for repair. Butte County Superior Court – Oroville, #0355: There were no items of non-compliance identified. 2 BSCC does not review all policies and procedures. We do not “approve” policies and procedures, nor do we review them for constitutional or legal issues. We recommend agencies seek review through their legal advisor, risk manager and other persons deemed appropriate. 0340+ Butte Sheriff’s Office II CH LTR 23-24 Kory Honea Sheriff - Coroner Page 5 North Superior Court – Chico, #0385: There were no items of non-compliance identified. Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) Compliance Monitoring: In accordance with the JJDPA, BSCC monitors jail facilities for compliance with one of four core requirements of the Act - Separation of Juveniles from Incarcerated Adults. Minors are not housed at the jail or the court holding facilities. No violations of the JJDPA were identified. Corrective Action Plan: All Title 15 areas of non-compliance were noted by Sheriff’s Office staff. BSCC staff requested the agency submit a CAP by March 10, 2023. Additionally, initial preparation of the grounds for construct of the SB 863 facility renovation is currently underway. Construction of the addition is expected to begin in the next 18 months. Technical Assistance: At the conclusion of each inspection, BSCC staff offered an outbrief of findings to the Sheriff and department senior management. This included an immediate review of the inspection and any non-compliance issues. It also included potential courses of action in correcting those non- compliance issues. Finally, the outbrief provided managers with technical assistance in identifying hazards that may exist in the facility. BSCC staff is pleased to see that Butte County and the Sheriff’s Office are continuing to work through the planning phases for new construction and renovation. We were able to see the proposed site and see available plans. We look forward to assisting the team in improving the facility for their staff and inmates. Captains Daryl Hovey and Brad Meyer; Lieutenants Jarred Agurkis, Robert Hadley, and Ryan Gsell; Sergeants Douglas Bloomfield, Robert Allen; Deputies Ron Lorimor and Dan Angel; and other key staff members were instrumental in the inspection process, and your facilities were well prepared for our visit. The participation of command-level staff during our visits allows a better examination of jail conditions and when appropriate, the rapid remedy of issues. We particularly appreciate your participation in the debrief session at the conclusion of our visit. --- This concludes our inspection report for the 2023-2024 biennial inspection cycle of the Butte County Jail and Superior Court Holding Facilities. We look forward to working with you in the future to provide technical assistance during the Jail renovation.

Inspector Notes CM 508.4 Classication Plan CM 707.3 Initial Health Appraisal CM 710 Medical Screening CM 714 Communicable Diseases: BSCC staff reviewed the Wellpath medical questionnaire that all persons coming into custody receive. Communicable disease questions are covered during intake. §1052 Behavioral Crisis Identication  The facility administrator, in cooperation with the responsible physician, shall develop written policies and procedures to identify and evaluate all incarcerated people who may be in behavioral crisis. Evaluation of behavioral crisis may include telehealth.  If an evaluation from medical or mental health staff is not readily available, an incarcerated person shall be considered in behavioral crisis for the purpose of this section if they appear to be a danger to themselves or others or appear gravely disabled.  An evaluation from medical or mental health staff shall be secured within 24 hours of identication or at the next daily sick call, whichever is earliest.  Separation may be used if necessary, to protect the safety of the person in crisis or others. Inspector Notes CM 710.5 Health Appraisal CM 710.5.2 Telehealth §1053 Administrative Separation  Except for Type IV facilities, facility administrators shall develop and implement policies and procedures for the administrative separation of incarcerated people. Policies and procedures must include:  (a) Administrative separation may consist of separate housing but shall not involve any other deprivation of privileges than is necessary to obtain the objective of protecting the welfare of incarcerated people and facility staff. Inspector Notes: Administrative separation and protective custody shall consist of separate and secure housing but shall not involve any deprivation of privileges. In cases where inmates need to be held pending an incident, criminal / disruptive behavior, or self- harm, they are placed in rooms that are intended for interviews or temporary processing, or in a Personal Detention Equipment (PDE) that is typically used for telemedical interviews. Because the facility lacks safety cells or more temporary holding cells, these rooms or PDE are often used several hours and were not designed with bunk, toilet, or fountain. This deprives access to these items for the time held until other arrangements or re-classication takes place. The agency is conducting increased checks on these persons and regularly ensuring that they have water and food, but these rooms or holding systems are not approved for housing. Butte County has secured new construction funding via SB 863 and continues to move forward with a new housing unit to better serve the evolving inmate population. The new SB 863 addition to the Butte County Jail is in design with an anticipated completion date of December 31, 2024. This facility will include new sobering cells, safety cells, and additional resources for medical and mental health treatment. In the interim, all staff have been instructed to limit use of these rooms. Inmates who cannot be rehoused will be moved to a holding cell located in the Docile Waiting/Intake area of the facility if available. Inmates who are in temporary housing shall be properly documented and reviewed by a supervisor. A staff member shall conduct a face-to-face safety check of all disciplinary separation inmates at least every 60 minutes on an irregular schedule. If an inmate is violent, has health problems, or demonstrates unusual behavior, the face-to-face check by custody should occur more frequently on an irregular schedule. Custody staff will document all checks, offering of uids and restroom access hourly and meals will be served as scheduled. These actions mitigate any deprivation of privileges the inmate may experience while temporarily detained in these rooms.  (b)Administrative separation must not adversely affect an incarcerated person’s health.  (c)Administrative separation may be used for incarcerated people who have: (1) A documented history of activity or behavior, or promoting such activity or behavior, that is criminal in nature, disruptive to facility operations, or affects the safety of the facility, other incarcerated people, and facility staff. (2) Inuenced or participated in activity that is criminal in nature, disruptive to facility operations or affects the safety of the facility, other incarcerated people, and facility staff. (3) Committed assault, attempted assault, or participated in a conspiracy to assault or harm other incarcerated persons or facility staff. (4) A history of escape or have recently attempted escape. (5) A demonstrated need for protection from other incarcerated people.  (d)Documentation indicating the necessity of administrative separation to obtain the objective of protecting the welfare of incarcerated people and facility staff.  (e)A documented individualized ongoing review and evaluation of the need to continue placement in administrative separation.
