Note: (2005) At this inspection, we deleted reference to the specific number of dayroom beds, as this changes depending
upon need. Facility staff reports a total of 4,414 available beds, excluding 96 disciplinary and 196 CTC beds in Medical
Services Building. (4/2007) The BRC was changed 2006-2008 inspection cycle to reflect module 231 and 232 as part of
the IRC BRC. A total of 384 beds reduced Twin Towers facility BRC from 2,628, now 2,244.
2014-2016 inspection cycle – The rated capacity of TTCF was increased to 2,484. Module 232 has been transferred from
IRC to TTCF (192 beds) and Module 121 was converted from non-rated disciplinary isolation to rated administrative
segregation (48 beds). (2,244 + 192 + 48 = 2,484.)
2016-2018 inspection cycle -The rated capacity of TTCF was reduced to 2,432. Module 121 was converted back from
administrative segregation to non-rated discipline cells resulting in a loss of 48 beds. Module 132-F has been converted to
contain only single occupancy cells resulting in a loss of 4 beds. The final rated capacity during this inspection cycle is
2,432 (2,484 – 48 – 4 = 2,432).

Note: There is an open area that is adjacent to and serves three housing pods in each module. At the 98-00 inspection,
this space was used as multi-purpose space for group programs and that approach continued in subsequent inspections.
Inmates do not have access to it in such a way that it could be considered dayroom.
Housing Pods in Modules 131 and 272 (Tower 2) each consist of dorms with an upper and lower level. Each of the two
levels originally had eight double bunks (16 bed per level or 32 per dorm). The number of bunks increased substantially by
the 98-00 inspection. The original BOC "Living Area Space Evaluation" notes that available space limits the capacity of
each dorm to 27 and that capacity has been continued. Calculations from the county report upper and lower areas as each
having 550 square feet (1100 square feet total). This does not appear to include dayroom space. Available BOC records
do not provide the total square footage.
Modules 132 – 172: Each pod contains one shower, limiting the pod capacity to 20 inmates. There is one fountain and
one toilet in each dayroom, in addition to plumbing fixtures in each cell; thirty-two seats at dayroom tables. Of the 16 cells
in each pod, 12 are 72 square feet and 4 are 100 square feet. Unless otherwise indicated, there are dayroom beds
distributed throughout the pods in each Module. Pods E and F in Modules 152 and 172, a bunk has been removed from
cells 4 and 6 to create 4 single-bunk cells.

2014-2016 inspection cycle – Module 232 has been transferred from IRC to TTCF (192 beds). Since at least the 2002-
2004 inspection cycle, the "Total RC" column for Module 232 has shown 32 beds (16 x 2) for each of the six units (32 x 6
= 192). However, since the 2008-2010 inspection cycle, the LASE for the IRC has shown the "Total RC" column as 28
beds for each of the six units. This discrepancy does not affect the current RC of TTCF. Module 232-A-F Cells 7,8,9,10

MODULE 272- ADA and INMATE WORKERS
Note: Housing Pods in Modules 131 and 272 (Tower 2) each consist of dorms with an upper and lower level. Each of the
two levels originally had eight double bunks (16 bed per level or 32 per dorm). The number of bunks increased substantially
by the 98-00 inspection. The original BOC "Living Area Space Evaluation" notes that available space limits the capacity of
each dorm to 27 and that capacity has been continued. Calculations from the county report upper and lower areas as each
having 550 square feet (1100 square feet total). This does not appear to include dayroom space. Available BOC records
do not provide the total square footage. 272 Module rated capacity is 162, currently there are 534 beds in this area.
2014-2016 inspection cycle – with the exception of 272 (Inmate Worker Dorm), a significant number of bunks were removed
from all other 272-unit dorms.
2016-2018 inspection cycle – Additional bunks have been removed from this module. This unit has been converted to an
“ADA” and Inmate Worker Module. Each pod has 16 single bunks on the ground level for “accessible beds” (ADA) while
each mezzanine level has 27 beds for inmate workers. The RC remains the same.

The IRC does not have recreational

being incarcerated longer than 96 hours. The
facility’s policy states inmates waiting to be

temporary housing in Module 231 and may
potentially surpass the typical 96-hour

BSCC staff were notified that individuals
housed in Module 231 are not provided with
the opportunity to participate in the use of the

Note: Regulations limit holding cell capacity to a maximum of 16 inmates. The capacity of several cells is lower than this
maximum due to available seating (18"/inmate). Staging cells are allowed under 1991 regulations and can hold up to 80
inmates, with adequate square footage and plumbing fixtures.
Effective 1/8/05, management of TTCF Modules 231 and 232 was assumed by IRC to provide bed and temporary housing for
inmates with health care needs to address before processing can be completed. Consequently, 384 beds were deleted from
the TTCF rated capacity and associated with IRC.
2014-2016 inspection cycle – The rated capacity for the IRC has been changed from 336 to 0. For the last several inspection
cycles, the rated capacity for the IRC has been 336. This bed count came from the number of beds shown on the IRC LASE
for Modules 231 (168) and 232 (168). At the time of this inspection, the cells in Module 231 had been converted to non-rated
medical beds (120) used to house inmates requiring intensive mental health services upon booking. (Although there are some
exceptions, these inmates are held in this pod for less than 48 hours.) Additionally, the beds in Module 232 (168) have been
transferred to TTCF and removed from this LASE. 336 – 168 – 168 = 0. (Previous LASE's for IRC have shown conflicting RC
information. Since at least the 2002-2004 inspection cycle, the LASE for TTCF has shown 32 beds (16 x 2) in each of the six
units in Module 231. However, since the 2008-2010 inspection cycle, the LASE for IRC has shown 28 beds in each of those
six units. This discrepancy does not affect the total RC of IRC because Module 231 had been converted to non-rated medical
beds.)

OLD IRC
2014-2016 inspection cycle – The Old IRC is located on the ground floor in the rear portion of Men’s Central Jail (MCJ) and
serves as the principal intake reception center for the LASD system prior to the construction of the present IRC. It is used as
a satellite for the current IRC as part of that facility’s system and not that of MCJ. Specifically, this area is used as the sorting
and temporary staging area for all inmates from IRC that are going to court. This area is under the command of the IRC
Captain. This is the first time that this area is included in IRC’s LASE.

Common Area 4
Note: Buildings 500 – 900 are housing with buildings 500-800 as dorms, each with an upper and lower tier on each of two
levels. (Building 900 consists of single and double occupancy cells.) The facility was constructed and originally rated under
1980 regulations that allowed "Multiple Occupancy Rooms," but not dorms. This forced the original rating to consider the
upper and lower tiers as separate dorms, each with a maximum capacity of 16 inmates. The terms "dorm" and "multiple
occupancy rooms" have both been used in BOC documentation. At the 1998-2000 inspection, we applied the 1986 Dorm
regulations to these housing units to more closely correspond with the practice of considering each housing area (i.e., 511,
512, etc.) a dorm. This also circumvents the problem of the 1980 regulation, which limits Multiple Occupancy Rooms to Type
III and IV facilities and to inmate worker units in other facilities. This change has no impact on Board Rated Capacity (BRC)
or facility operation. Each Dorm (i.e., 511, 512, etc.) has 4 toilets, 2 urinals, 4 washbasins, 2 drinking fountains, and 2 showers.
BOC records indicate that the dimensions for the bunk/housing areas in buildings 500-700 are 49.0' X 12.0' X 8.6' on the
upper tier, for a total of 588 square feet. In addition, the lower tier plus dayroom space is 57’7” X 57’3” X 17’10” (3,306 square
feet). The total dayroom & housing square feet is 3,894. This is sufficient for 37 single-bunked inmates (50 square feet housing
+ 35 square feet dayroom/inmate). Later 1991 regulations reduce the square footage to 72.5 square feet per double-bunked
inmate (43 inmates); however, there would not be sufficient plumbing fixtures to reach this capacity.
BOC records indicate that the dimensions for the bunk/housing area in Building 800 are 57’3” X 13’2” X 8’7” on the upper tier,
for a total of 756 square feet. In addition, the dayroom space for each housing dorm is 69’' X 39’3” X 17’10” (2,722 square
feet). The total dayroom & housing is 3,467 square feet. This is sufficient for 34 single-bunked inmates (50 square feet housing
+ 35 square feet dayroom/inmate). Later 1991 regulations reduce the square footage to 72.5 square feet per double-bunked
inmate. This requirement is further reduced to 70 square feet for double-bunked inmates and 65 square feet for triple-bunked
inmates in 2001 regulations. Based on square footage under 2001 regulations, the dorms in building 800 could support a
double-bunked capacity of 41 inmates and, triple-bunked, 45 inmates. Plumbing fixtures would limit the capacity of inmates if
BSCC were requested to re-evaluate the Board Rated Capacity. There are considerably more beds in each dorm.
2016-2018 inspection cycle – Staff has replaced all double bunks with triple bunks. The bunks now line the outside walls of
each dormitory. This has resulted in more dayroom space and much better sight lines between each set of bunks.

At the 2002-2004 inspection, Dorm 320 was converted into classrooms. This change reduced the previous Board Rated
Capacity (BRC) of 996 by 66 beds. Additionally, we dropped the capacity by 4 beds to address the four single cells discussed
below, which had been “carried” in the capacity for a number of years. Consequently, the BRC was reduced from 996 to 926.
Facility staff reports that there are 1854 housing beds, in addition to 24 non-rated disciplinary beds. (See note for Units
362/363.)
Historical note regarding BRC: There were 4 single cells along the main hallway that records indicate received a November
1976 variance for use despite being under-size. They were closed at one time, reopened in 1989, and had been used for
storage for a number of years, with no plans to reopen. They were deleted from this report during the 1998-2000 inspection
and were carried in the BRC because reducing the capacity by that small number was confusing and of little value. As noted
above, they were deleted during the 2002-2004 inspection when the 66-bed deduction was also made when Unit 320 was no
longer used for housing.
Dormitories 321-336: BOC file notes indicate a November 11, 1976 variance to allow 66 persons in each of 12 dorms, with a
toilet ratio of 1:9.4 inmates. This was apparently extended to a 13th dorm at a later time. (As of 2001 regulation revisions, the
ratio was changed to 1:10.) There is 6' of urinal in each dorm, in addition to the toilets noted below.
2014-2016 and 2016-2018 inspection cycles – This facility was empty except for one dorm that was being used as a “fire
camp”. It has been used as a “safety valve” where large numbers of inmates can be transferred, usually during a major
disturbance at the originating facility. It is also used for training purposes. This entire facility remains “open” with appropriate
numbers of staff to match the inmate population.
2023-24: This facility is only utilizing Dorm 319. All other housing units remain vacant.
2024 (LASE Update) Dorm 320 was removed from the LASE as it has been permanently converted into a processing area.
Dorm # 321-323- RC was reduced by 40 due to the reduced number of beds in each dorm.

variance was granted at an unspecified date for 48 2-man cells, on basis of 616 cubic feet of airspace. If inmate population ever
begins to approximate Board Rated Capacity, it may become useful to review archive files to determine what really occurred.
MEDICAL HOUSING
Note: There are no medical beds. Historical files report 3 medical dorms, with 27 beds and a BRC of 24 inmates (22.5 X 26.0
X 12.0). Use of these dorms was discontinued several years ago and they were deleted from the Living Area Space Evaluation
at the 1998-2000 inspection. This has no impact on rated capacity, as they were "non-rated" medical beds.
Dorms 320-326 and 331 were open during this inspection 7/2011, MW.

Historical note: 1980 regulations do not allow dormitories; "dorms" 41-51 were considered to be separate spaces, divided by
the toilet/shower areas, to create 16-inmate units under the "multiple occupancy room" regulation and a total rated capacity of
32 inmates.
South Facility has 22 barracks in 7 compounds. Compound A consists of dorms 31-32-33; B: 34-35-36; E: 37-38-39; G: 41
and 42, which have been converted to dining and 40, which was converted to a "processing" dorm; H: 43-44-45; K: 46-47-48;
M: 49-50-51.
Dorms 30-39 are rated under the 1973 regulations, which allowed dormitories to have 40 square feet of sleeping space per
inmate + 25 square feet dayroom (65 square feet). The dimensions below equal 3,920 square feet; however, BOC file notes
also reflect 4,062 square feet per unit. The Board Rated Capacity has historically been based on 4,062/65 square feet = 62
inmates. This rating overlooked insufficient washbasins, which were required at a ratio of 1:8; however, later, less restrictive
2001 regulations changed this ratio to 1:10, essentially bringing the plumbing fixtures into compliance. Plumbing in these dorms
includes 6' urinal trough and regulations allow every 2' to be counted toward the toilet ratio, not to exceed one-third the total
number required.
Notes: 1980 regulations do not allow dormitories; "dorms" 41-51 utilize "pony walls" to create 16-inmate units under what was
then called the "multiple occupancy room" regulation. They operate as dorms and are labeled as such here. "Dorms" 41-51
were considered to be separate spaces, divided by the toilet/shower areas, to create 16-inmate units under the "multiple
occupancy room" regulation and a total rated capacity of 32 inmates.
2016-2018 inspection cycle – Dorm 39 being used as linen storage reducing the previous rated capacity by 62. (844 – 62 =
782.)
2024 (LASE Update) – At the time of the onsite, Dorm #30, 34-38 & 49-52 were temporarily closed due to staffing levels.
Dorm #39 was removed from LASE as it has been converted into a linen storage space. All bunks have been removed.
Dorm #40 was removed from the LASE as it has been permanently converted into an Inmate Processing Center.
Dorm # 41 & 42 was removed from the LASE as it has been permanently converted into an Inmate Dining Room.

1980 regulations do not allow dormitories; the "dorms" in this facility utilize "pony walls" to create 16-inmate units under the
"multiple occupancy room" regulation. These are operationally treated as dorms and identified as such here. There are three
16-bed sections per dorm and four dorms per module. There is one dayroom in each Module, with seating for 96. The double
cells in each module are classified as "Administrative Segregation Cells.” The dimensions noted below appear to be for each
16-bed section and do not include dayroom space. Facility staff reports 1600 housing beds.
Note: 2016-2018 inspections cycle: The RC was reduced by (2) in Module 2 due to the conversion of one cell to storage,
giving the facility an RC of 830 beds.
2024 (LASE Update) “E-1” in Modules 1-4 converted to storage space. All Ad Seg cells have been reclassified as Disciplinary

1998-2000 inspection cycle – The booking area for the Century Regional Detention Facility (CRDF) was separated from the
detention portion of CRDF resulting in two separate facilities: Century Type I Booking Center (#1530) and CRDF (#1445). This
was done because juveniles were brought into the booking area for photograph and printing, prior to being held in non-secure
detention in the nearby Century Patrol Station Jail. This practice conflicted with statute because, other than minors adjudicated
for adult court under 707.1, WIC 207.1 prohibits minors from entering a Type II jail for any reason.
Prior to separating the Type I Booking Center from the Type II operation, the Board Rated Capacity (BRC) was 1,642. 80 beds
were deducted for Modules 1201, 1202, 1203, and 1204 and associated with the Type I area. In addition, Unit 1604 was
converted from non-rated discipline beds to housing and Dorms 1701 and 1702 were raised from 60 and 62 beds respectively,
to 64 beds each. These changes added a total of 26 beds for a BRC of 1,588 beds in the Type II operation of CRDF and 80
beds in the CRDF Type I Booking Center, for a total of 1,668 in the "complex."
The 1999 Division reported that the total bed count was 2,078 beds in the facility complex, including 92 beds in the Type I
Booking Center and 1,986 in the Type II facility. We maintained that bed count through the 2005 inspection.
Effective June 2002, when the Biscailuz Recovery Center closed, CRDF operations were also curtailed due to budget
constraints. Only the Movement Center and Housing Units 3100, 3200, 3300, and 3400 remained operational to house the
former Biscailuz program inmates. We maintained the rated capacity of 1,588 for the entire facility, acknowledging the
Department’s intent to fully reopen the facility.
March 25, 2006 Century Regional Detention Facility fully opened as a female facility.
2014-2016 inspection cycle – Juveniles are no longer booked at CRDF. As a result, at the next inspection cycle (2016-2018)
the LASD Century Type I Booking Center (BSCC # 1530) will cease to exist as a separate facility and the holding and housing
cells will be re-incorporated into CRDF's Physical Plant Evaluation and Living Area Space Evaluation.
Historically, housing 1201, 1202, 1203, 1204, 1301, 1302, 1303, 1304, 1401, 1402, and 1403 were occasionally moved
between the Type I Booking Center and the Type II facility. Up until this inspection cycle, the number of beds for "both facilities"
(80 + 1,588 = 1,668) has remained constant.
Previous inspection cycles have shown that units 1602 and 1603 contained 20 non-rated beds in each unit. These units are
now used for general population inmates resulting in 40 additional rated beds. As a result, the revised rated capacity for CRDF
is 1,708 [1,588 (previous rated capacity of the Type II facility) + 80 (previous rated capacity of the Type I facility) + 40 (from
units 1602 and 1603) = 1,708].
Note: The transport/intake and release area of the Century Regional Detention Center (Type II operation); Court Services had
primary responsibility for Cells 9-13 when the Lynwood court was operational. 1982 Title 24 regulations up to current
regulations only allow up to 16 inmates in each holding cells.

BOOKING CENTER
2016 – 2018 inspection cycle – at the time of the 1998-2000 inspection, the Booking Center was separated from the detention
portion of CRDF resulting in two separate facilities: Century Type I Booking Center (#1530) and CRDF (#1445). Effective this
inspection cycle, this area has been returned to the CRDF LASE (BSCC # 1445). The exception to this is the Juvenile Holding
Area which is outside of the perimeter of CRDF.
2024: At the time of the LASE update, BSCC staff were informed that the Booking Center is part of Century Station (Type I)
and no longer a part of CRDF.
