FACILITIES
Dear Sheriff Bianco,
The 2023-2024 Comprehensive Inspection of the Riverside County Sheriff's Office (RSO)
has been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on Wednesday, April 26, 2023,
and the following facilities were inspected between June 5 through June 8, 2023:
FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
BLYTHE JAIL 3940 II
JOHN J. BENOIT 3963 II
ROBERT PRESLEY 3910 II
LARRY D. SMITH 3920 II
COIS M. BYRD 3930 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, 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 no items of noncompliance with Title 15 Minimum Standards. Refer to the
attached Title 15 Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
We identified the following items of noncompliance with Title 24 Minimum Standards:

BLYTHE JAIL
Title 24 Section, Section 1231.2.6 – Single Occupancy Cells
During the on-site inspection, it was noted Blythe Jail was over their facility-rated
occupancy. By being over their facility-rated capacity, the facility is noncompliant with
this regulation.
LARRY D. SMITH CORRECTIONAL FACILITY (SCF)
Title 24. Section 1231.2.8—Dormitories
During the on-site inspection, it was noted SCF was over their facility-rated capacity. By
being over their facility-rated capacity, the facility is noncompliant with this regulation.
Refer to the Physical Plant Evaluation (PHY) and Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE)
attachments for information related to Rated Capacity and Title 24 compliance.
CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN (CAP)
An Exit Briefing with your staff was held on June 8, 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. Your agency provided BSCC staff with
a CAP addressing these issues on Wednesday, June 21, 2023.
Your agency’s CAP stated that the variance between the rated capacity and the
population capacity, for each stated facility, is due to the placement of additional fixed
beds. The beds were placed in the housing units to mitigate overcrowding issues and in
an effort to remain compliant with Federal Court Order SA-CV-93-808 AHS.
* * *
At this time, BSCC will not require any additional action to be taken to remediate the areas
of noncompliance. Please keep my office updated on any future corrective measures.
Please email me at traci.kessler@bscc.ca.gov or call (916) 956-3682 if you have any
questions.
Sincerely,
TRACI KESSLER
