September 6, 2023 Marcus Dawal, Chief Probation Officer Alameda County Probation Department PO Box 2059 1111 Jackson Street Oakland, CA 94604-2059 2023-2024 COMPREHENSIVE INSPECTION, WELFARE & INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTIONS 209 & 885, ALAMEDA COUNTY PROBATION DEPARTMENT DETENTION FACILITIES AND CAMP Dear Chief Dawal: The 2023-2024 Comprehensive Inspection of the Alameda County Probation Department has been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on Tuesday, January 31, 2023, and the following facilities were inspected between Tuesday, May 2, 2023 and Tuesday, May 9, 2023 : FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE Alameda County Juvenile Hall 7001 JH Camp Wilmont Sweeney 7003 CAMP Secure Youth Treatment Facility 7002 SYTF These inspections were conducted pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Sections 209 and 885 to determine compliance with the Minimum Standards for Juvenile 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 Sections 209(f) and the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) requirements for separation between juveniles and adults. In addition to the annual inspection, Title 15, Section 1313, and its authorizing statute require annual inspections conducted by a local Health Officer, fire authority having jurisdiction, county building inspection by an agency designated by the County Board of Supervisors, County Superintendent of Schools, Juvenile Court, and Juvenile Justice Commission. The results of those inspections are considered a part of this report. Marcus Dawal, Chief of Probation Page 2 INSPECTION RESULTS We provided technical assistance that included, but was not limited to, recommended updates to policy and procedure, and proof of practice documentation. We identified two areas of noncompliance that were corrected by the completion of the inspection. Those items were as follows: Juvenile Hall/ Secure Treatment Facility 1354.5 Room Confinement: Per Title 15 Regulations, Section (2) Room confinement shall not be used for the purposes of punishment, coercion, convenience, or retaliation by staff. Noncompliance was discovered when BSCC staff found that, in part, due to staffing challenges, JH youth on Reintegration Safety Plans (RSP) were left in their rooms for extended periods of time when the high-risk level of safety and security was no longer an immediate threat to staff. 1371 Programs, Recreation, and Exercise: Per Title 15 Regulations Section (a) Programs, in part, all youth shall be provided with the opportunity for at least one hour of daily programming. Noncompliance was discovered when we found that, in part, due to staffing challenges, JH youth on Reintegration Safety Plans (RSP) were not consistently provided equity in programming requirements when the high-risk level of safety and security no longer existed. The facility manager provided a memo sent out to supervising staff mandating them to step in and provide needed support when line staff levels are too low to conduct required programming. In addition, the facility Administration will conduct random video surveillance audits to monitor programming and time out of room for RSP youth. Lastly, supervisors participated in an updated training. BSCC staff are hopeful that the provided corrections will be sustained on a consistent basis. BSCC will provide a follow-up inspection. Refer to the attached Title 15 Procedures Checklist for detailed information. No items of noncompliance were identified with Title 24 Minimum Standards. Refer to the Physical Plant Evaluation (PHY) and Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE) attachments for information related to Rated Capacity and Title 24 compliance. Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring No violations of the JJDPA have been identified, and no areas of noncompliance were noted. An Exit Briefing with your staff was held on Tuesday, May 9, 2023; BSCC staff presented an overview of the inspection and discussed technical assistance and best practice recommendations. * * * 7001+ Alameda Probation JH Camp SYTF LTR 23-24 Marcus Dawal, Chief of Probation Page 3 Please email me at forrest.coleman@bscc.ca.gov or call (916) 508-7559 if you have any questions.

The agency identified staffing deficiencies as the rationale for any lack of providing required services. BSCC observed that an ISI and or an ISII are ☒ ☐ ☐ always on-site in the facility. Therefore, BSCC staff provided technical assistance in recommending utilizing supervisory staff (IS1 and ISII) to provide the support needed to ensure required services in programming for RSP youth.
