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 Section 1027.5, Safety Checks: Supervisors were not documenting their review of safety checks. Title 15 Section 1053, Administrative Separation: Staff were not documenting ongoing reviews and evaluations for continued placement in administrative separation housing. Ingrid Braun Sheriff-Coroner Page 2 Title 15 Section 1056, Use of Sobering Cell: Not having sufficient detail in the sobering cell placement documentation explaining the individual was a threat to their safety or the safety of others due to their state of intoxication. Additionally, staff are failing to document that a person was no longer a risk to themselves or others when removing them from a sobering cell and failing to document their findings during the six-hour evaluation/continued retention in the sobering cell. Title 15 Section 1265, Issue of Personal Care Items: Not having panty liners available on the day of inspection. Refer to the attached Procedures Checklist for detailed information. Refer to the Physical Plant Evaluation (PHY) and Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE) attachments for information related to Rated Capacity and Title 24 compliance.
