Kelly Martinez Sheriff-Coroner Page 2 INSPECTION RESULTS The Lemon Grove Sub Station is currently undergoing renovations from damage suffered from a flood in January 2024. The purpose of inspecting this facility was to verify that no additional changes to the facility were required. Upon notification of the completion of the renovation, verification will be made of all local inspections to ensure the facility is once again operational. We identified no items of noncompliance with Title 15 Minimum Standards for any of the facilities. Refer to the attached Procedures Checklist for detailed information. We identified the following items of noncompliance with Title 24 Minimum Standards: SOUTH BAY DETENTION FACILITY: 1231.2.7 Double Occupancy Cells Triple bunks were in all double-occupancy cells. When these bunks are populated, the agency is noncompliant with this regulation. On the day of inspection, the following housing areas were over the rated capacity and noncompliant, indicating the use of triple bunks: Station 1A, 57, RC=48 Station 1B, 49, RC=48 Station 2A, 49; RC=48 VISTA DETENTION FACILITY: Dormitories (1231.2.8) South D-1 dormitory contained 46 incarcerated persons. The rated capacity is 38. When the occupancy is greater than the rated capacity, the dormitory is noncompliant. Refer to the Physical Plant Evaluation and Living Area Space Evaluation attachments for those two facilities for information related to Rated Capacity and Title 24 compliance. The three Sub Stations and the South County Regional Facility Court had no compliance- related issues. CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN (CAP) Exit Briefings with your staff were held on Wednesday, May 28, 2025; Tuesday, June 10, 2025; and Thursday, June 12, 2025.

Your agency provided BSCC staff with a CAP addressing the noncompliance for the Vista Detention Facility on June 10, 2025.
