A pre-inspection briefing was held on Friday, April 21, 2023, and the following facility was inspected on June 30, 2023. FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE Kings County Jail 1141 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. In addition, Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) staff conducted compliance monitoring pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 209(f) and the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA). In addition to the inspection(s) by the BSCC, inspections are also required annually by the County Health Officer and biennially by the State Fire Marshal or an authorized representative (Health and Safety Code Sections 101045 and 13146.1). The results of those inspections are considered a part of this report. INSPECTION RESULTS We initially identified the following item of noncompliance with Title 15 Minimum Standards: Title 15 Section 1056, Use of Sobering Cell: During the document and onsite inspection, BSCC staff identified a lack of consistent detail documenting an incarcerated person being a threat to themselves or others due to their state of intoxication. Nor were there consistent details when the person was deemed no longer a threat and could be safely removed from the sobering cell. On Friday, July 14, 2023, a meeting was held via Teams with sworn and Wellpath staff addressing Sobering Cell documentation. BSCC staff provided technical assistance, best practice recommendations, and examples for the staff to consider. David Robinson Sheriff-Coroner Page 2 On July 17, 2023, BSCC staff provided an Initial Inspection Report detailing the need for more consistency and detail when documenting sobering cell placement and removal. On July 24, 2023, Kings County staff advised Wellpath acknowledged and adapted the suggestions for Sobering Cell documentation. Additionally, mock Sobering Cell records were submitted which reflected the requested detail. The noncompliance was addressed and remedied by Wellpath; therefore, there are no items of noncompliance with Title 15. Please refer to the attached Title 15 Procedures Checklist for detailed information. No items of noncompliance were identified with Title 24 Minimum Standards. Refer to the Physical Plant Evaluation (PHY) and Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE) attachments for information related to Rated Capacity. Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring No juveniles are held at this facility. CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN (CAP) No CAP is currently required. BSCC staff will monitor actual Sobering Cell placement documentation in the future to ensure continued compliance with this regulation. * * * Please email me at jill.farris@bscc.ca.gov or call me at (916) 621-4325 if you have any questions.
