Truckee Substation LASE and was part of the inspection of the substation jail. However, the court is a stand-alone building
with a separate address. The cell in question is within a non-secure perimeter and used for its restroom and attorney interview
space only. As a result, the cell was removed from this LASE and no new BSCC numbered facility was established for the
court since it does not have a secure perimeter.
