2023-2024 TARGETED INSPECTION, PENAL CODE SECTION 6031, WELFARE &
INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION 209, SUTTER COUNTY JAIL
Dear Sheriff Barnes:
The 2023-2024 Targeted Inspection of the Sutter County Sheriff's Office has been
completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on Wednesday, May 8, 2024, and the
following facility inspection was completed on Friday, June 14, 2024:
FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
Sutter County Jail 5780 II
This inspection was 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, 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 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.
INSPECTION RESULTS
We identified the following item of noncompliance with 2001 Title 24 Minimum Standards
which were in place at the time of original construction:
13-102 (c) 6. Design requirements
During the onsite inspection, BSCC staff determined Pods A and B (single and
double occupancy cells) are noncompliant with the 2001 Title 24 Design
requirements subsection 2, which were in place at the time of original construction.
The noncompliance was due to the hood on the faucets and the desks and
upper/lower bunks having a gap between the wall that incarcerated people can
use as a ligature tie-off point for suicide.

an overview of the inspection and discussed technical assistance and best practice
recommendations. BSCC staff reviewed and provided an Initial Inspection Report for
noncompliance items found during the inspection. Your agency's Corrective Action Plan
