2023-2024 COMPREHENSIVE INSPECTION, PENAL CODE SECTION 6031,
WELFARE & INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION 209, MARIN COUNTY SHERIFF’S
OFFICE DETENTION FACILITIES
Dear Sheriff Scardina,
The 2023-2024 Comprehensive Inspection of the detention facility and Civic Center court
holding facility for the Marin County Sheriff's Office has been completed. A pre-inspection
briefing was held on Wednesday, March 8, 2023, and the following facilities were
inspected on May 23, 2023.
FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
Marin County Jail 3010 II
Marin County Civic Center Court Holding 3015 CH
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:
§ 1020 CORRECTIONS OFFICER CORE COURSE
Agency found out of compliance due to two (2) custodial personnel’s failure to complete
the required CORE Officer Course within twelve months of assignment.
Jamie Scardina

Page 2
§ 1025 CONTINUED PROFESSIONAL TRAINING
Agency found out of compliance due to one (1) custodial personnel’s failure to complete
the required “annual required training”. 10 of 24 hours were completed.
These areas of noncompliance were determined during your agency’s last STC annual
review.
Any corrective action plans will be monitored directly through the STC Division and your
assigned STC Representative.
No further Corrective Action Plan is required for these areas of noncompliance.
§ 1056 USE OF SOBERING CELL
Of the sampling of logs reviewed for the Marin Jail, a pattern of incomplete entries was
noted. Many of the logs reviewed did not indicate when the individual was released from
the sobering cell. The lack of verifiable and incomplete log entries has resulted in a finding
of noncompliance with the minimum standard.
Refer to the attached Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring
We found no violations of the JJDPA. A copy of the monitoring report is attached for your
information.
CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN (CAP)
An Exit Briefing with your staff was held on Tuesday, May 23, 2023. BSCC staff presented
an overview of the inspection and discussed technical assistance and best practice
recommendations. BSCC staff reviewed and provided an Initial Inspection Report for
noncompliance items found during the inspection.
A Corrective Action Plan (CAP) addressing the remediation plan for § 1056 USE OF
SOBERING CELL was provided by your agency on June 1, 2023.
* * *
BSCC staff will continue to monitor the progress of the remediation efforts and conduct a
follow-up inspection.

questions.
