WELFARE & INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION 209, LOS ANGELES COUNTY TYPE 1
DETENTION FACILITIES, SOUTH PATROL DIVISION
Dear Sheriff Luna:
The 2023-2024 Comprehensive Inspection of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's
Department Station Jails has been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on
Tuesday, March 5, 2024, and the following facilities were inspected between Tuesday,
April 16, 2024 and Wednesday, June 12, 2024 :
FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
Carson Station 1520 IJ
Lakewood Station 1620 IJ
Lomita Station 1660 IJ
Norwalk Station 1740 IJ
Pico Rivera Station 1760 IJ
Cerritos Station 2015 IJ
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.
INSPECTION RESULTS
We identified the following items of noncompliance with Title 15 Minimum Standards:
Title 15 § 1027.5 Safety Checks:
(b) There shall be no more than a 60-minute lapse between safety checks.

Page 2
(c) Safety checks for people in sobering cells, safety cells, and restraints shall occur more
frequently as outlined in section 1055, section 1056, and section 1058 of these
regulations.
(e) There shall be a written plan that includes the documentation of all safety checks.
Documentation shall include:
(1) the actual time at which each individual safety check occurred.
(2) the location where each individual safety check occurred, such as a cell,
module, or dormitory number.
Lakewood, Norwalk, and Pico Rivera Stations have issues with safety checks.
- Lakewood and Norwalk Station both had safety checks that exceeded 60 minutes.
- Norwalk and Pico Rivera Stations safety check logs do not record the actual time
checked and cell checked.
Note that Lakewood Station uses a scanner system that is inconsistent in recording.
Other stations have the scanner system but chose to use paper logs.
Title 15 § 1062. Visiting:
(a)(2) A publicly posted schedule of facility visiting hours. If practicable, visiting hours
should be made available on weekends, evenings, or holidays.
(a)(4) In Type I facilities, the facility administrator shall develop and implement written
policies and procedures to allow visiting for non-sentenced detainees. The policies and
procedures will include a schedule to assure that non-sentenced detainees will be
afforded a visit no later than the calendar day following arrest.
Lakewood and Norwalk Stations are currently not allowing pre-arraignment persons to
have visitation. In all cases, the video visitation is not working and there is not space or
accommodations for in-person visiting. Additionally, no visitation schedule was posted in
the public lobby.
Title 15 § 1148. Supervision of Minors in Secure Custody Outside of a Locked
Enclosure:
The decision for securing a minor to a stationary object for longer than 60 minutes, and
every 30 minutes thereafter shall be based upon the best interests of the minor and shall
be documented.
Lakewood and Norwalk Stations logs for minors held securely outside the Jail, cuffed to
a fixed object, did not contain documented safety checks.
Title 15 § 1280. Facility Sanitation, Safety, and Maintenance:
The facility administrator shall develop written policies and procedures for the
maintenance of an acceptable level of cleanliness, repair and safety throughout the
facility. Such a plan shall provide for a regular schedule of housekeeping tasks and
inspections to identify and correct unsanitary or unsafe conditions or work practices which
may be found.
Both Lakewood and Norwalk Stations needed substantial cleaning and upkeep.

Historical notes: Review of recent BOC inspection records reflects the following history of the detox cell (Cell A):
1993 BOC inspection: Cell A did not comply with 1963 detox cell requirements because it had a bench but would comply as a
holding cell. At that time, it was used for misdemeanant holding and the pre-booking holding cell 3 was used as a detox cell.
*T = Toilets; U = Urinals; W = Wash Basins; F = Fountains; S = Showers in unit; If "Total RC" appears in brackets (), it is not part of the facility's rated
capacity. "+" indicates that capacity includes prorated air space from adjacent areas.
1620 Los Angeles Lakewood Station LASE 23-24 - 1 - A360 LAS Adult.dot (9/98)
The pre-booking cell did not comply with detox cell regulations because there was no toilet, washbasin, or fountain, and the
1980 standards that are applied to the pre-booking area require a padded floor.
1995 BOC Inspection: The bench was removed from Cell A to bring it into compliance with requirements for a 1963 detox
cell. Presumably, it was used as a detox cell at this time.
1997 and 2000 BOC Inspections: Cell A was being used for misdemeanants and it was out of compliance as a holding cell
because the bench had been removed. The pre-booking cell 3 was being used for detox and was out of compliance as noted
above.
2001 BOC Inspection: This issue was inadvertently omitted from the report, but we understand that the practice was the
same as in 1997 and 2000.
2003 BOC Inspection: Cell A was being used for misdemeanants and it was out of compliance as a holding cell because
there was no bench. The pre-booking cell 3 was being used as a sobering/detox cell and was out of compliance as noted
above (1993 inspection). At the 2003 inspection, we did not adjust the rated capacity of this facility to reflect using this cell for
housing. Pending further discussion and clarification, we will review this at the next inspection to determine if it should be
considered as housing or as a large holding cell.
2005 BOC Inspection: Cell A is being used as a sobering cell again but is also used (inappropriately) as an overflow holding
-24. Consequently, while the station has
resolved the issue of holding inebriated inmates, it also removes a holding cell and must place inmates in the cell in violation
of the regs. Pre-Booking-Cell 3 is no longer being used as a sobering cell.
Notes: One holding cell is used for juveniles. 2016-2018 inspection Two rooms in the administrative area of the jail are
used for secure detention of juveniles. Direct view into these rooms from watch sergeant's office.
Holding cell #3 is used as a detox-sobering cell when needed. It does not comply with physical plant regulations when used
cell but is used as a housing or holding cell for
misdemeanants and does not meet those physical plant requirements because there is no bench. Juveniles are no longer
held in the holding cells;
sobering cell and meets regulations 2013.
As of the 2008-2010 cycle, Cell A is now used as a sobering cell; it is padded.
2023-2024 Inspection: Cells C1 and E1 had previously contained benches. During this cycle, the cells were changed back to
their original design from 1963. Rated capacity changed back to 49.
