FACILITIES
Dear Sheriff Martinez:
The 2023-2024 Comprehensive Inspection of the San Deigo County Sheriff's Department
has been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on Wednesday, June 7, 2023,
and the following facilities were inspected between Wednesday, September 6, 2023 and
Wednesday, September 13, 2023:
FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
San Diego Central Jail 4381 II
Las Colinas Women’s Detention 4402 II
South Bay Detention Facility 4420 II
George Bailey Detention Facility 4430 II
East Mesa Reentry Facility 4435 II
Vista Detention Facility 4440 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. Both Las Colinas Women’s
Detention and Vista Detention Facilities are late in completing their biennial fire
inspections and should be scheduled as soon as possible. The Environmental Health,
Medical and Mental Health, and Nutritional inspections were all completed and compliant
with those regulations.
