PROGRAM – PRE-OPENING INSPECTION
BSCC PLAN REVIEW #021-0853.03
Dear Sheriff Gibbs:
On October 25, 2023, the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) staff met
with Deepak Rana, Vanir Project Manager, regarding the Renovation and Expansion
project of the Willows Courthouse located in Glenn County to conduct a pre-opening
inspection of the facility.
The purpose of the visit was to review and identify any noncompliance issues related to
Title 24, Minimum Standards required for Local Detention Facilities, as they relate to the
construction of the three (3) new holding cells and adjacent attorney visit rooms.
Attached, you will find a Title 24 Compliance Review Checklist outlining applicable areas
of Title 24 monitored during construction, a Living Area Space Evaluation outlining the
holding capacity for the facility, and a Physical Plant Checklist that will be used for
monitoring compliance with Title 24 regulations. During our site visit, BSCC staff verified
that there are no outstanding items of noncompliance.
This concludes our pre-opening inspection for this project. Please let me know if I can
answer any questions or be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me
by telephone at (916) 322-8081 or by email at kim.moule@bscc.ca.gov.
Sincerely,
