OFFICE DETENTION AND COURT HOLDING FACILITIES
Dear Sheriff Nieto:
The 2025-2026 Comprehensive Inspection of the Monterey County Sheriff's Office has
been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, and the
following facilities were inspected between Wednesday, May 21, 2025 and Thursday,
May 22, 2025:
FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
Monterey County Jail 3280 II
Salinas Court Holding 3286 CH
Monterey Court Holding 3288 CH
Marina Court Holding 3290 CH
King City Court Holding 3380 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 to the 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. The Medical/Mental Health report
was performed on May 6, 2025, and the final inspection report is still pending as of this
letter. It was indicated by your staff that there were no deficiencies noted at the time of
that inspection. The previous report is sufficient to demonstrate compliance during this
inspection cycle, and the pending May 6th report will be reviewed at the next inspection.
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
Evaluation, and Living Area Space Evaluation.
