Dear Sheriff McGarva:

been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, and
the following facilities were inspected between Tuesday, September 9, 2025 (on-site) and
Thursday, November 6, 2025 (completion of document review):
FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
Lassen Adult Detention Facility 1305 II
Lassen Courthouse 1310 CH
Lassen County Adult Jail Annex 1315 II
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 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.
INSPECTION RESULTS
We identified no items of noncompliance with Title 15 or Title 24 Minimum Standards. For
detailed information, refer to the attached Procedures Checklist, Physical Plant
