DETENTION FACILITIES
Dear Sheriff Boudreaux:
A Targeted Inspection of the Tulare County Sheriff's Office has been completed. A pre-
inspection briefing was held on Wednesday, May 22, 2024, and the following facilities
were inspected on Tuesday, July 16, 2024:
FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
South County Detention Facility 5842 II
Pre-Trial Facility 5845 II
Bob Wiley Detention Facility 5850 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
15 and 24, California Code of Regulations.
INSPECTION RESULTS
We identified no items of noncompliance with Title 15 Minimum Standards. Refer to the
attached Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
No items of noncompliance were identified with Title 24 Minimum Standards. Refer to the
Physical Plant Evaluation and Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE) attachments for
information related to Rated Capacity. During this inspection, the LASEs for each facility
were reviewed to confirm each facility’s rated capacity. A discrepancy was corrected on
the South County Detention Facility’s rated capacity. Its capacity decreased from 519 to
510. The other facilities remained the same. The system capacity is rated at 1,589.
An Exit Briefing with your staff was held on Tuesday, July 16, 2024; BSCC staff presented

recommendations.

relate to square foot of dormitory living area, dayroom space and inmate to furnishing ratios (toilets, showers, etc.). This
increased the RC from 584 to 674. In ’02-’04 Unit 13 was re-rated bringing the RC to 690.
