COUNTYADULTDETENTION FACILITY
Dear Sheriff DiBasilio:
A Targeted Inspection of the Calaveras County Sheriff's Office has been completed. A
pre-inspection briefing was held on Tuesday, July 9, 2024, and the following facility was
inspected between Tuesday, July 23, 2024 and Friday, July 26, 2024:
FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
Calaveras Co. Adult Detention Facility 0405 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.
INSPECTION RESULTS
We identified the following items of noncompliance with Title 15 Minimum Standards.
Title 15 §1027.5 Safety Checks:
(b) There shall be no more than a 60-minute lapse between safety checks.
BSCC staff reviewed safety check logs from January through July 2024. The
review found that on a daily basis, the documentation of multiple safety checks
exceeds the 60-minute requirement.
Title 15 §1065 Exercise and Recreation:
(a) The facility administrator of a Type II or III facility shall develop written
policies and procedures for a minimum of 10 hours out of cell time distributed
over a period of seven days to include:
(1) an opportunity for three hours of exercise
(2) an opportunity for seven hours of recreation.

BSCC staff reviewed random logs of individuals held in administrative separation
during the last year. The review found that documentation of out-of-cell time did
not clearly indicate that the persons were offered the required time. Additionally,
there is not adequate documentation that indicates how the three hours of
exercise time is offered.
Refer to the attached Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
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 out brief with your staff was held on Wednesday, July 24, 2024; BSCC staff presented
an inspection overview and discussed technical assistance and best practice
recommendations. An Initial Inspection Report outlining the identified areas of
noncompliance was provided to your staff. A CAP that addresses each outstanding item
of noncompliance is due to the BSCC no later than August 25, 2024.
