DETENTION FACILITIES
Dear Sheriff Binder:
The 2025-2026 Comprehensive Inspection of the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office has
been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, and
the following facilities were inspected on Wednesday, December 3, 2025:
FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
Maguire Correctional Facility 4910 II
Maple Street Correctional Center 4925 II
Transitional Facility 4927 IV
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 to inspection(s) by the Board of State and Community Corrections (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.
Agency supervision advised the local fire authority conducted the biennial Fire Life Safety
Inspection of the Maple Street Correctional Center/Transitional Facility; however, they did
not have a copy of the inspection to provide to the BSCC. Additionally, agency supervision
advised the Public Health Department conducted their annual nutritional inspection at
both facilities but have not provided a copy of their report to the agency yet.
INSPECTION RESULTS
We identified the following items of noncompliance with Title 15 and 24 Minimum
