FACILITIES
Dear Sheriff Barnes:
The 2025-2026 Comprehensive Inspection of the Orange County Sheriff's Department
has been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, and
the following facilities were inspected between Thursday, September 25, 2025, and
Monday, October 20, 2025 :
FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
Central Men’s Jail 3480 II
Intake Release Center & Transportation 3490 II
Central Women’s Jail (vacant as of September) 3500 II
James A. Musick Facility (new) 3530 II
Theo Lacy 3560 II
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 inspection(s) by the Board of State and Community Corrections (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.
Orange County Sheriff’s Department supervision provided documentation addressing all
issues found during those inspections.

INSPECTION RESULTS
We identified no items of noncompliance with Title 15 Minimum Standards.
On the day of inspection, various housing areas of Theo Lacy were populated over their
rated capacity; therefore, we identified the following items of noncompliance with Title 24
Minimum Standards:
Section 1231.2.7 Double-occupancy cells: Modules I, J, K, and L were constructed
with cells that are less than 70 square feet. Modules I and K had sectors populated
over the rated capacity.
Section 1231.2.8 Dormitories: Barracks A-D, F East & West, G East & West, and
H East & West were populated over their rated capacity.
Section 1231.3.1 Toilets/urinals: F East & West, G East & West, and H East &
West did not have a sufficient amount of toilets to accommodate being populated
over their rated capacity.
Section 1231.2.9 Dayrooms: Barracks F, G, & H did not have a sufficient amount
of tables/seats to accommodate being populated over their rated capacity.
The Intake and Release Center (IRC) was built without an audio monitoring system in the
booking/intake loop cells. Therefore, we identified the following item of noncompliance
with Title 24 Minimum Standards:
Section 1231.2.22 Audio Monitoring System: The holding cells in the intake area
were constructed without an audio monitoring system. The agency is researching
a solution to this item of noncompliance.
Refer to the attached Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
Refer to the Physical Plant Evaluation and Living Area Space Evaluation attachments for
information related to Rated Capacity and Title 24 compliance.
CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN (CAP)
An Exit Briefing with your staff was held on Friday, November 21, 2025; 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. A Corrective Action Plan (CAP)
addressing the items is due to the BSCC by Monday, December 22, 2025.

Notes: 1974- Variance allowed Sheriff’s Dept. to house 146 in Barracks A-D to accommodate “weekend sentenced”
individuals. Over time, the Dept. changed the usage of these dorms thus nullifying the variance. The 1963 standard had max
capacity of 50; however, BSCC approved the least restrictive standard and set the max capacity at 64.
