FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
Sonoma Main Adult Detention 5641 II
Sonoma North County Facility 5660 II

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

In addition to the inspection(s) 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.
