CODE 209 SHASTA COUNTY TYPE II FACILITY
Dear Sheriff Johnson:
The 2024 Targeted Inspection of the Shasta County Sheriff's Office Main Jail has been
completed. A pre-inspection briefing was conducted on Wednesday, January 26, 2024,
and jail inspection was completed on April 12, 2024.
FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
Shasta County Main Jail 5360 II
The inspection was performed 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 the inspections 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
On the day of inspection, we identified one item of noncompliance with Title 15 Minimum
Standards.
§ 1032. Fire Suppression Preplanning
The agency is noncompliant with this regulation due to not having an updated fire
inspection conducted by 3/14/2024. The facility's last biennial fire inspection was
completed on 3/14/2022.
The agency was able to correct the noncompliance issue on 4/16/2024 by having the
local fire authority inspect the facility.

ALL HOUSING CELLS
Note: 1988 Standards applied. RC for 381 inmates.
Note: Most single cells were double-bunked under the 1988 Regulations. A Superior Court order limits the maximum
population of each housing unit to 90% of the rated capacity. The jail does not allow the individual housing unit populations
to go above 90% which allows for empty bunks within each unit. When the CSA-rated single cells with double bunks are
utilized, one of the double cells is considered to be a single cell.
Note: Historical information from archives added during the 2010-2012 inspection:
On 11/29/1984 a variance was granted to add a second bunk to 80 single cells increasing the RC from 240 to 320.
On 3/24/1989, the facility was re-rated using the 1976 and newer less restrictive standards, if applicable. A second bunk had
been added to 18 single cells. The RC was increased from 320 to 337.
On 9/20/91, the facility was re-rated using the 1980 and newer less restrictive standards, if applicable. A second bunk had
been added to 7 single cells. The RC was increased from 337 to 344.
On 11/20/1991, the field rep reported a pilot project was initiated raising the RC from 344 to 368.
On 3/30/1992, a special request to the BOC was granted increasing the RC to 381.
2016-18 inspection – Further research has established that the BOC's 3/30/92 approval to raise the RC to 381 was based on
the application of the 1976 Title 24 regulations. These regulations required 1) dayroom area of 25 square feet of floor space
per inmate and 2) one shower for every 16 inmates. This approval allowed a maximum capacity of 32 inmates in each pod
and Pod C would remain at an RC of 20. As a result, in the "Applicable Standards" column, reference to the 1988 standards
has been removed and replaced by 1976. (20-22 Inspection: MC-4 had one bunk bed (2 bunks) while MC-7 had one bed.
1988 version of Title 24 applied. MC-4 meets regulations for housing 2 inmates, but a bunk bed is not recommended for the
medical area. At some point, a third shower was installed in each housing unit, increasing the RC in those areas.
