2023-2024 COMPREHENSIVE INSPECTION, PENAL CODE 6031, WELFARE &
INSTITUTIONS CODE 209, NAPA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS
ADULT DETENTION FACILITY
Dear Director Jose:
The 2023-2024 Comprehensive Inspection of the Napa County Department of
Corrections has been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on August 22, 2023,
and the following facility was inspected on Thursday, September 21, 2023:
FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
Napa County Jail
3400 II
This inspection was 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:
§ 1027.5 Safety Checks
After completing the documentation review, BSCC staff determined safety checks
were reviewed at regularly defined intervals by a supervisor or facility manager.
The agency was found noncompliant because there was no manner to verify the
review including methods of mitigating patterns of inconsistent documentation or
untimely completion of safety checks as the regulation requires.

§ 1029 Policy and Procedures Manual
BSCC staff determined the agency in noncompliant with this regulation for not
having their Operating Procedures (OP) reviewed and updated at least every two
years.
§ 1055 Use of Safety Cell
After completing the documentation review, BSCC staff determined the agency is
noncompliant as the safety checks for safety cell placements do not involve
variance, and several safety checks lapsed the 15 minutes between each check,
making the agency late with conducting observations twice within thirty minutes.
§ 1056 Use of Sobering Cell
After completing the documentation review, BSCC staff determined the agency is
noncompliant as there was vague evidence that incarcerated persons were placed
in sobering cells for their safety or the safety of others due to their state of
intoxication.
In addition, BSCC staff determined there was a lack of documentation to indicate
whether a person in a sobering cell was evaluated after six hours to determine if
an urgent medical problem existed.
BSCC staff also determined the agency does not involve variance while conducting
their safety checks for sobering cells. Most of the observation logs that were
provided indicated the agency’s personnel primarily conducted exact 15 and 30-
minute checks.
§ 1065 Exercise and Out-of-Cell Time
During the documentation review, BSCC staff found the agency’s process for
logging recreation time was not thoroughly documented in the unit logbooks for
general population housing. This makes it difficult to account for the seven hours
of required recreation per a period of seven days.
Refer to the attached Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
We also identified an item of noncompliance with Title 24 Minimum Standards.
§1231.2.5 Safety Cell
The agency is noncompliant with this regulation as the first-floor safety cell in the
intake area is short of the required 48 square feet.

§1231.2.7 Double-Occupancy Cells
*Multiple Occupancy Cells (8227) 1973 standards: On the day of inspection,
housing area in SJ 226B Module was over its rated capacities.
§1231.2.8 Dormitories
On the day of inspection, housing area SJ M112 Module was over its rated
capacity.
§1231.3.5 Beds
During the walkthrough of the facility, BSCC found additional bunks were added
into some single, double, and multiple occupancy cells. These bunks were not
securely fastened to the floor or wall.
§1231.3.5 Beds
During the walkthrough of the facility, stack-a-bunks or temporary plastic beds
were utilized throughout the facility. These temporary plastic beds were not
elevated off the floor and were not securely fastened to the floor or wall.
Refer to the Physical Plant Evaluation (PHY) attachment for information related to Rated
Capacity and Title 24 compliance. The Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE) of this
facility will be conducted in 2024 and will provide more details regarding Rated Capacity.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring
We found no violations of the JJDPA as your facility does not hold minors for detention.
CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN (CAP)
An Exit Briefing with your staff was held on Tuesday, October 10, 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.
On November 13, 2023, a CAP was submitted and BSCC was informed you have
corrected noncompliant items by the 30-day CAP timeline for Title 15 § 1029 Policy and
Procedures Manual and Title 24, § 1231.2.7 – Double-Occupancy Cells, § 1231.2.8 –
Dormitories, and a portion of § 1231.3.5 – Beds. The remaining noncompliant items will
require a follow-up inspection to verify compliance and/or the steps your agency has
taken to correct the issues within 60 days. We will respond to the CAP under a separate
cover letter.
