CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN (CAP)
An Exit Briefing with your staff was held on Tuesday, December 3, 2024; BSCC staff
presented the Targeted Inspection overview and discussed technical assistance and best
practice recommendations. An Initial Inspection Report (IIR) outlining the identified areas
of noncompliance was provided to your staff.
On December 16, 2024, Orange County supervision submitted safety check logs from the
Central Men’s Jail and Central Women’s Jail for BSCC review. The agency staff advised
they implemented new technology for logging safety checks. After review, BSCC staff
determined the agency is now in compliance with Title 15 Section 1027.5, Subsection (d)
as safety checks are being conducted in random or varied intervals.
Agency supervision advised they are addressing the second item of noncompliance
regarding recreation logs at the Theo Lacy facility. If it cannot be addressed by January
2, 2025, the staff will submit a CAP.
