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 be 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 that Pod C would remain at a 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 not recommended
for the medical area. At some point, a third shower was installed in each housing unit, increasing the RC in those areas.
