REDDING COURTHOUSE – NEW CONSTRUCTION
BSCC PLAN REVIEW NUMBER 089-5435.01
Dear Marshal Northrup:
On October 17, 2023, the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) staff met with Jim
Bruce, Sr. Project Manager Kitchell CEM. We toured the Redding Courthouse holding areas and
evaluated the completed construction.
The purpose of the visit was to review the court holding facility for the pre-opening inspection
and compliance with Title 24, Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities. At this time,
BSCC staff determined there were no items of noncompliance with Title 24, Minimum Standards
for Local Detention Facilities. BSCC staff will conduct a Comprehensive Inspection in 2024.
I have attached the Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE) and Physical Plant Evaluation (PHY)
to this letter for your records. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at (916)
659-5967 or steven.wicklander@bscc.ca.gov.
