2020-2022 INSPECTION OF RIVERSIDE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE JAIL AND COURT
HOLDING FACILITIES, PENAL CODE 6031
Dear Sheriff Bianco:
During September 19-30, 2022, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC)
conducted the 2020-2022 biennial inspection of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department
Correctional facilities:
Type II & III Facilities Court Holding Facilities
Blythe Jail Banning Justice Center
Cois M. Byrd Detention Center Blythe Courthouse
John J. Benoit Detention Center Hall of Justice
Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility Larson Justice Center
Robert Presley Detention Center Southwest Justice Center
Southwest Juvenile Justice Center
Pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031, this inspection was performed to determine compliance
with the Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities as outlined in Titles 15 and 24,
California Code of Regulations (CCR). In addition, BSCC staff conducted compliance monitoring
pursuit to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 209(f) for the federal Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA).
The complete BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of: this transmittal letter; the Title
15 Procedures Checklist outlining applicable minimum standards for each facility; the Physical
Plant Evaluation outlining Title 24 requirements for design of each facility; the Living Area Space
Evaluation summarizing the physical plant configuration and showing the capacity of each
facility. Refer to the Title 15 Checklist for indication of compliance status and evidence used to
determine compliance.
We encourage the practice of maintaining a permanent file for historical copies of all inspections
that would also include documentation of corrections made following the inspection. This file
should be the first point of reference when preparing for all future inspections.

LOCAL INSPECTIONS
In addition to the biennial inspection by the BSCC, inspections are also required annually by the
County Health Department and biennially by the State Fire Marshal or an authorized
representative (Health and Safety Code Sections 101045 and 13146.1). Please consider our
report in conjunction with the reports from the County Health Department and the respective fire
authorities for a comprehensive perspective of your facilities. Local inspection reports are
forwarded to your Department under a separate cover. All area of concerns and compliance
issues have been addressed prior to BSCC inspection for each facility. Please refer to each
facility’s fire and county health department inspection report for a complete and comprehensive
inspection review. Appendix A (below) indicates each facility’s date for their fire and county
health inspection date.
BSCC INSPECTION
Title 15, CCR Inspection
The inspection consisted of a review of the Riverside County Sheriff's Department Custody and
Court Holding Policies and Procedures Manual. Throughout 2020-2022, the department
reviewed and revised its subset of the manual specific to the facility operations. Each manual
was reviewed, and we compared the content against relevant regulations to ensure that each
subject required by regulation was addressed in policy. BSCC staff visited each facility to review
operations, physical plant, interviews with administration, facility staff, inmates, and collaborative
partners. We found no items of noncompliance.
Please refer to the Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
With the closure of the Indio Jail, John J. Benoit Detention Center opened and was added to the
agency’s jail system. There were no other changes made to the physical plant of the agency’s
jail system. We found no items of noncompliance.
Please refer to each facility Physical Plant Checklist for detailed information.
Corrective Action Plan
No areas of non-compliance were noted, no corrective action required.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance
The BSCC monitors local detention facilities for compliance with JJDPA. Secure and Nonsecure
youth are not detained in the jail’s facilities. Secure youth may be held in the Banning and
Southwest Juvenile Justice Centers. BSCC reviewed each operation and found no violations
with JJDPA.
