OFFICE DETENTION FACILITIES
Dear Sheriff Fryhoff,
The 2025-2026 Comprehensive Inspection of the Ventura County Sheriff's Office has
been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, and
the following facilities were inspected between Tuesday, October 28, 2025 (on-site
inspection) and Friday, December 12, 2025 (completion of document review):
FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
Pre-Trial Detention Facility 5960 II
Todd Road Jail 6045 II
East Valley Jail 5980 I
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.
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 items of noncompliance with Title 15 Minimum Standards:
Pre-Trial Detention Facility:
§ 1028 – Fire and Life Safety Staff: Subsection 1028 (b), regarding new CPR
requirements (Eff. 4-1-25), had not been added prior to the on-site inspection. As
of November 4, 2025, the section has been updated in the policy manual and plans
for staff training were in place.
§ 1029 – Policy and Procedures Manual: Subsection 1029 (e)(2), states that
reporting methods for sexual abuse and harassment shall be publicly posted at the

facility. No postings were observed in any public areas at the time of the
inspection. During the exit briefing, agency administration indicated they would
put both physical and digital postings in all lobby areas.
§ 1065 – Exercise and Out of Cell Time: Subsection (a)(1), (a)(2), initial
documentation provided by the agency did not support compliance with this
regulation for most of the inspection cycle. During the on-site inspection and
document review, the agency was able to show it has been using a new out-of-
cell/exercise tracking system. This new tracking system supported compliance
with this regulation only for October 2025. Follow-up inspections will be conducted
to ensure continued compliance with this regulation.
§ 1073 – Inmate Grievance Procedure: Subsection (a)(1), the facility was found
noncompliant with this portion of the regulation, as there were significant barriers
to obtaining grievance forms and utilizing the grievance process. BSCC staff
observed that most housing areas did not have grievance forms readily accessible,
and several incarcerated people, at both facilities, said getting the forms from staff
was challenging.
§ 1265 – Issue of Personal Care Items: the facility was found noncompliant with
this regulation, as access to tampons, sanitary napkins, and panty liners was
limited by agency staff in quantity and request times.
Todd Road Jail:
§ 1028 – Fire and Life Safety Staff: Subsection 1028 (b), regarding new CPR
requirements (Eff. 4-1-25), had not been added prior to the on-site inspection. As
