County Adult Detention Facilities; Regional Adult Detention Facility, Oren Fox Detention Facility,
and the Herbert Hughes Correctional Center. The focus of the unannounced inspection was to
verify continued compliance with 1032 Fire Suppression Preplanning (monthly fire prevention

Standards for Local Detentions Facilities.

Regulations (CCR), Minimum Standards for Local Detentions Facilities were found.
