INSTITUTIONS CODE 209, LASSEN COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE DETENTION AND
COURT HOLDING FACILITIES
Dear Sheriff Growdon:
The 2023-2024 Comprehensive inspection of the Lassen County Sheriff's Department has been
completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on Thursday, May 4, 2023, and the following
facilities were inspected on July 27, 2023.
FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
Adult Detention Facility 1305 II
Jail Annex 1315 II
Lassen Courthouse 1310 CHJ
These inspections were 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 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.
It was noted that the biennial fire inspection for the Jail Annex Facility is out of date, and your
agency has scheduled the fire inspection to be completed on September 20, 2023. Please
provide the BSCC with a copy of the inspection report as soon as it is completed.
INSPECTION RESULTS
The inspection consisted of a review of the Lassen County Sheriff's Department Custody Policy
and Procedure Manual, a site visit to review operations, physical plant, and relevant
documentation, and interviews with administration, facility staff, inmates, and collaborative
partners.
BSCC staff noted the Jail Annex facility has been unoccupied during this inspection cycle. Please
notify BSCC staff when you plan to reoccupy the facility.

We identified the following items of noncompliance with Title 15 Minimum Standards:
Adult Detention Facility:
§ 1027 Number of Personnel
The agency is noncompliant with this regulation due to not having sufficient staffing to
ensure the implementation and operation of the programs and activities required by these
regulations. This is due to vacant staff positions and staff with approved long-term time
off, and the agency is unable to complete safety checks at various times within the hourly
requirements of regulation 1027.5 Safety Checks due to staff shortages.
§ 1027.5 Safety Checks
After completing the documentation review, BSCC staff determined the agency is
noncompliant because safety checks are not being conducted within the hourly
requirement of this regulation due to staff shortages.
§ 1032. Fire Suppression Preplanning
BSCC staff determined noncompliance with this regulation due to the agency not
providing documentation for monthly fire prevention inspections conducted by staff.
Jail Annex:
§ 1032. Fire Suppression Preplanning
BSCC staff determined noncompliance with this regulation due to the agency not
providing documentation for monthly fire prevention inspections conducted by staff.
§ 1032. Fire Suppression Preplanning
BSCC staff determined the agency is noncompliant with this regulation due to not having
an updated biennial fire inspection for this facility. The fire inspection is scheduled for
September 20, 2023. It should be noted that the facility has been unoccupied during this
inspection cycle.
Refer to the attached Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
We identified one item of noncompliance with Title 24 Minimum Standards.
Adult Detention Facility:
§ 1231.2.22 Audio Monitoring System
The agency is noncompliant with this regulation due to the audio monitoring system in all
recreation yards being out of service.

Due to no longer holding juveniles in secure detention at the Lassen County Courthouse as of
July 24, 2023, the courthouse will be reclassified from a CHJ to a CH.
Refer to the attached Physical Plant (PHY) and Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE)
attachments for information related to Rated Capacity and Title 24 compliance.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring
We found no violations of the JJDPA for the Lassen County Courthouse. A copy of the monitoring
report is attached for your information. As noted above, the courthouse will be reclassified from
a CHJ to CH.
CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN (CAP)
An Exit Briefing with your staff was held on July 31, 2023; BSCC staff presented an inspection
overview and discussed technical assistance and best practice recommendations. BSCC staff
reviewed and provided an Initial Inspection Report for noncompliance items found during the
inspection. Your agency is required to provide BSCC staff with a CAP addressing these issues
by August 28, 2023. We will respond to the CAP under a separate cover letter.
