Dear Chief Still:
PRE-INSPECTION BRIEFING NOTIFICATION
The Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) is required to biennially inspect local
juvenile detention facilities. Consequently, you and your staff are invited to participate in a pre
inspection briefing which will be held on March 27, 2019, at 10:00 a.m., at the Juvenile Justice
Center, as discussed with James Rivers. It is important that the staff who will be the facilities'
representatives during my on-site inspection attend.
Subject matter to be discussed will include BSCC-responsibilities and philosophy, new regulation
revisions, the inspection process, necessary documents for review and the inspection schedule.
After this meeting, you and your representative(s) will know what issues will be examined during
my on-site inspection as well as to how to prepare for it. I am requesting your complete Policy
and Procedures manual, inclusive of all current regulation changes or directives pending these
updates, prior to my return for the on-site inspection.
It is our expectation that the impact on your staff during the on-site inspection will be minimized
and the level of compliance with regulation enhanced by the technical assistance we are offering
at the pre-inspection briefing. If you have any questions regarding this process, please contact
me at (916) 324-9153 or email at Elizabeth.gong@bscc.ca.gov.

ALAMEDA COUNTY JUVENILE HALL AND CAMP WILMONT SWEENEY
BSCC # 7001 AND 7003
2016-2018 BIENNIAL INSPECTION PURSUANT TO WIC 209 and 885
Dear Chief Still:
This letter is to advise you that the 2016-2018 biennial inspection of the Alameda County Probation
Department's Juvenile Hall and Camp Sweeney Facility has been completed pursuant to Welfare
and Institutions Code Section 209 and 885. A pre-inspection briefing was held on April 5, 2017, and
both facilities were inspected on January 16-19, 2018. Assistant Chief Esa Ehmen-Krause, Deputy
Chief Ian Long, Assistant Superintendent Brian Hopson, Supervisors Clarita Woods and Dale
Tafoya, along with their staff and agency partners, made for a smooth inspection process. Your staff
and collaborative partners represented the facility and their respective agencies in a positive manner
and were easy to work with during our process. We also appreciate the time and energy spent
preparing for, organizing and participating in the inspection, especially given the amount of
documentation requested.
The complete Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) inspection report is enclosed and
consists of: this transmittal letter; the Title 15 Procedures checklist outlining Tille 15 requirements
for both facilities; a Physical Plant Evaluation checklist outlining Title 24 requirements for the design
of the facilities, and; a Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE) summarizing the physical plant
configuration and showing the rated capacity of each facility.
Local Inspections
In addition to the biennial inspection conducted by the BSCC, Title 15, Section 1313 and statute
also require local inspections from the following: county building inspector or person designated
by the Board of Supervisors; fire authority having jurisdiction; local health officer; county
Superintendent of Schools; Juvenile Court; and the Juvenile Justice Commission. Results of
those inspections are considered a part of this report and the dates of the local inspections may
be found in the accompanying Procedures Checklist. There are no compliance issues related to
your local inspections.
( (
I
Inspection Scope
The inspection included a review of the Alameda County Juvenile Hall and Camp Sweeney
Policy and Procedure Manual. Our audit consisted of a review of only those policies and
procedures related specifically to the applicable regulations outlined in Title 15, Minimum
Standards for Juvenile Facilities1 and verification that the complete manual is compliant with
Regulation 1324, Policy and Procedures Manual. After the review of the manual, we reviewed
documentation to assure that practice and policies are consistent with Title 15. We followed that
review with a physical plant tour and interviews with administration, youth, facility staff and
collaborative partners.
Inspection Results
Operations
Our inspection process also involves an audit of incident reports, grievances, admission and
classification reports, and disciplinary reports/findings to ensure compliance with Title 15
Regulations. This audit also ensures that your policies reflect practice and process. You have
made significant progress in updating your manual to ensure staff know what you expect of them
in terms of youth supervision and responsibilities. There were a few issues of consistency with
how and when certain functions are required, however, necessary information was generally
timely and within standard.
A review of your forms and logs revealed accurate portrayals of time and/or information. Your
case plans and counseling entries were informative and individualized, revealing a genuine
interest in making, setting, and accomplishing attainable goals for your population. The overall
operations and day to day activities were orderly, with clear expectations for the youth as they
moved through their day. Your evening program staff prohibited some activities to allow a few
to make supervised phone calls, however, you adjusted this requirement to allow for supervision
while the group remained in programming. This fix ensured compliance with regulation
regarding separation as well as the statutory requirement for room confinement.
We interviewed your staff and agency partners to evaluate the level of communication and
assess the participation of your team. Your alliances with the Alameda County Office of
Education, Alameda County Health Care Agency Behavioral Health staff and Oakland Children's
Hospital medical staff revealed an involved and informed collaborative effort by all. The
relationships were positive and each separate agency felt they could call on your staff to address
any issue of concern. You have regular team meetings to address the concerns of any youth
and generally work together to ensure the youth is provided a multitude of services.
The one issue of concern was the limited time clinicians were on site beyond Monday through
Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. We were told one staff was at the facility on weekends; however,
to contact the staff, your officers must call the message line and leave a message about the

(
need to see behavioral health staff. this i� more like on-call services rather than on�site
services. You have 5 clinicians, 2.5 psychiatrists and 3 psychologists working 5 days a week.
It was noted by behavioral health staff and confirmed by probation staff that youth are taken out
of class for counseling or treatment services. While this is not a compliance issue for crisis
incidents needing immediate response, removing a youth from school for counseling or
programming takes away from the mandatory educational minutes a youth must be provided
each day. Hence, your behavioral health staff are not able to work with the youth during the
school day. As part of my technical assistance, it is being recommended that these services be
expanded for after school, evening and weekend coverage to better meet the needs of your
youth population.
Lastly, our inspection includes a direct observation of your program, including school, dayroom
activities and programming. The daily schedule provides a busy, full and complete program,
with structured and unstructured time built in to the youth's day. Staff were observed to be both
professional and caring. Your manual clearly outlines expectations for staff supervision; and it
was noted actual practice exceeded policy as we watched staff interact with the youth.
Education
The Alameda County Office of Education operates the Butler Academy Center for both facilities.
Staffing for the Juvenile hall includes seven teachers and four aides, as well as three resource
positions for the Transition Center and for Special Education. Camp Sweeney has two teachers
and one aide.
The minimum educational minutes required by Title 15 are met. Additionally, it is noted the
education staff also provide post-secondary education for graduates and assist in the facilitation
of the SEEP Program (Student Extended Education Program). SEEP is a six-week program
which offers financial literacy, resume building, writing skills and development, conflict resolution
and anger management, and current events discussions. Your teachers work diligently to
provide credit recovery and tutoring services for those youth that need it. The Office of
Educational also provides a curriculum for Health and off-site elective classes such as a Golf
Team, which includes playing local Chabot College students, and a Sailing Program.
Programming
The juvenile hall houses pre-and post- adjudicated youth while Camp Sweeney provides long
term incarceration for those committed by the juvenile court. Although both facilities provide a
myriad of services through your agency partners, it is significant to note your level of services
facilitated by staff and volunteers. All youth participate in social awareness programs with a
focus on making positive changes to address the behaviors leading to their incarceration.
Structured programs include: Aggression Replacement Training (ART); Independent Living
Skills (/LS-SEEP); The Beat Within (a writing program); a Garden Program; Hip Hop Chess;
Making Proud Choices (sex education program); Rites of Passage (male youth mentoring);
Sou/society (leadership empowerment); Todays Future Sound (music and media arts)La Familia
Counseling (substance abuse); Pro-Social Skill development to address conflict resolution and
anger management; Yoga; and a variety of other recreational activities.
C
(
.
f r .
Each case plan provides a clear direction for ev�ry yquth with an emphasis on addressing the
risks and needs leading to their incarceration. Staff work with the youth to set attainable goals
and objectives to assist in their transition back to the community. To this end, staff promote
positive school, work and unit behavior, reinforcing behaviors with incentive based programming
while providing appropriate sanctions for negative behavior. Each youth interviewed made
consistent statements that they were treated fairly and respectfully. They indicated they felt safe
in the environment and seemed appreciative to participate in their program.
Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards
During our visit, we offered technical assistance and made best-practice recommendations to
your management team that may assist or enhance operations for future compliance
inspections. Several procedures and policy matters were discussed and edited prior to the
completion of this letter. Those efforts are appreciated. The attached Procedures Checklist
provides a detailed overview of the inspection findings. Upon final review of all documentation
and upon the conclusion of this report, there are no outstanding items of compliance at the
Alameda County Juvenile Hall and Camp Sweeney Facility. .
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There have been no changes to the physical plant, therefore, your'rated capacity remains at 360
in Juvenile Hall and 105 for Camp Sweeney. On the day of the inspection, the population was
69 at Juvenile Hall and 19 at Camp Sweeney. This may change during the 2018-2020 Inspection
cycle with the pending construction of the new Camp Sweeney, which will also house post
dispositional female youth. I look forward to working with you on this project in the months
ahead.
Training
The most recent BSCC Standards and Training for Corrections (STC) audit reports that the
Alameda County Probation Department is compliant with mitigating circumstances with all
relevant regulations and mandates.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring
There have been no violations of JJDPA this inspection cycle and no areas of non-compliance
were noted. You are a Pilot County for SB 1004, which allows for housing adult transitional age
youth in the Juvenile Hall with separate sight and sound requirements. You have met the
required elements of this legislation and I look forward to working with you on establishing this
program.
We are very impressed with the overall operation of the Alameda County Juvenile Hall and Camp
Sweeney. We would again like to thank you and compliment your staff for their dedication to
the youth, thoroughness of the preparation for our inspection and responsiveness to our
inquiries. You should be proud of your managers, their staff and the treatment focused program
you provide to the youth of Alameda County. Each are exceptional in the care they provide to
the youth in their care.
(
This concludes our 2016-18 inspection report! We are available to assist as needed and are
always happy to provide technical assistance when requested. We look forward to continuing to
work together. Please do not hesitate to email me at Elizabeth.gong@bscc.ca.gov or call (916)
