INSPECTION RESULTS The focus of the Unannounced Inspection was to evaluate Title 15 regulations 1032 Fire Preplanning and 1280 Facility Maintenance. We identified no items of noncompliance with Title 15 Minimum Standards. No items of noncompliance were identified with Title 24 Minimum Standards. Although items were not out of compliance, there was a discussion of multiple cells that were not being used due to broken windows that have not been repaired and computer programming issues with the intercom system. Additionally, the gates to the vehicle sallyport that are not working are issues of security concern. Knowing that this is a relatively new facility, these issues will become items of noncompliance if repairs are not completed in a timely manner. An out brief with your staff was held on Tuesday, July 16, 2024; BSCC staff presented an inspection overview and discussed technical assistance and best practice recommendations. * * * Tim Saxon Sheriff-Coroner Page 2 Please email me at dale.miller@bscc.ca.gov or call (916) 956-3679 if you have any questions.
