Dear Sheriff Cooper:
The 2023-2024 Comprehensive Inspection of the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office has
been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on Wednesday, July 19, 2023, and a
ZOOM pre-inspection briefing was also held on Wednesday, July 26, 2023. The following
facilities were inspected between Friday, November 17, 2023 and Sunday, November 19,

BT Collins JJC Pending CHJ
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

representative (Health and Safety Code Sections 101045 and 13146.1). The results of
those inspections are considered a part of this report. Please refer to each report for
additional information which, when combined with this report, may provide an overall

COURT HOLDING
Historical Comments: 12/23/2013 – These court-holding cells were previously included in the Physical Plant and Living Area
Space Evaluation of the jail. Inmates in the court-holding area are supervised by court-holding staff. Since the Lorenzo
Patino Hall of Justice and the Sacramento Main Jail are attached, during the 2012-2014 Inspection Cycle, it was decided to
separate the court holding from the jail and create a new CH BSCC# 4117.

There is some lack of clarity in the record that details increased capacity. The records at the BOC can support a rated
capacity of 1,815. Twenty-one beds are less than the number of beds installed in housing units. (Medical and Mental Health
beds on the second floor are not a part of the rated capacity: They are considered special-use beds). The documentable
history is as follows:
• August 10, 1988: the Board Rated Capacity (BRC) of 1,158 plus 64 unrated medical and psych beds, plus 30
unrated beds in disciplinary isolation.
• November 18, 1988: sheriff’s letter to double bunk 405 single cells.
• January 12, 1989: The State Fire Marshal responds by approving 300 persons per floor for floors 3-8. This approval
allows a potential of 1,800 persons on floors 3-8. The November 18, 1988 request would fall short of the 1,800
figure.
• April 12, 1991: a letter signed by Jack Shepler, Sacramento City Fire Marshal, and James McMullen, State Fire
Marshal, permitting the addition of 30 beds in rated housing, two in unrated medical housing, and an additional 222
beds in rated housing.
• In total, approved rated beds are 1,158 + 405 + 30 + 222, or a total of 1,815. (Floors three through eight have 1,836
beds. Current documentation supports a rated capacity of 1,815. The Board of Corrections has arbitrarily reduced
the BRC in modules 6E300 and 7W200 to conform to the 1,815 figure. This reduction could occur anywhere on
floors three through eight. See additional comments at the end of the Living Area Space Evaluation.)
• 1999: The county currently has approval from the Federal District Court to double bunk most cells and has a pilot
project from the BOC to schedule the use of the dayroom. The BOC has also allowed the higher BRC.
• 2001: As indicated above, most cells are double-bunked. Currently, there are 33 non-rated medical beds (15 on the
2nd-floor west medical unit, 13 on the 2nd-floor west psych. unit, and five on the 2nd-floor east medical housing/Unit
100/special needs unit) and 20 non-rated disciplinary isolation beds (8th floor west, Pod 400). Board-rated capacity
2,380.
• 2008: During the 2006-08 inspection, the rated capacity of the sobering cell in male booking was reduced from 10 to
8 inmates to correctly reflect the limit established by the regulation.
• 2022: 8 West Pod 400 had 20 non-rated beds (formerly used as disciplinary isolation) now used for all types of
housing; increase in RC by 20 increasing the total RC to 2400.

Historical Comments: 12/23/2013 – This courthouse is attached to the existing Sacramento County Main Jail and at this
writing was still under the ownership/control of Sacramento County and not the Administrative Office of the Courts. These
court-holding cells were previously included in the Physical Plant and Living Area Space Evaluation of the jail. Inmates in the
court-holding area are supervised by court-holding staff. During the 2012-2014 Inspection Cycle, it was decided to separate
the court holding from the jail and create a new CH.
