These inspections were conducted pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031 to determine

In addition to inspection(s) by the BSCC, inspections are also required annually by the

Prior Notes: Housing – Housing floor rated capacity was based on a pilot project approved July 15, 1993. The housing
areas are of the podular design. Each Pod or mod is made up of single cells that line the periphery of the dayroom (with the
exception of FF). Pods A and F are Ad. Seg. Units, differing only with the amount of ‘out of cell’ time they are provided.
Pods B, C, D and E are general population units: Cells are triple bunked and left unlocked. The entire area is operated as a
dormitory per pilot project (1993). Each pod (A-F) contains 3 showers located in the dayroom area. Unit FF is an Ad-Seg
unit and is linear in design with one shower located in the corridor area outside the row of cells. There are four professional
visit (contact) rooms on each floor, as well as two medical rooms for sick call, a program room and small indoor recreation
area. The outdoor ‘yard’ is located on the roof – composed on 3 distinct areas. Jm
Prior Notes: 2012-2014 inspection: All of the A Unit cells on each floor now have triple bunks. If used with open doors as
are the other units (B-F), then they could be considered dormitories. No change was made to the facility RC.
Prior Notes: 2018 – 3A has two triple and 14 double bunks. RC unchanged.
