BUTTE COUNTY 2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION PURSUANT TO WELFARE AND
INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTIONS 209 AND 885
Dear Chief Barley:
The 2020-2022 biennial inspection of the Butte County Probation Department’s Juvenile Hall
and Camp Condor has been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on April 27, 2021;
the facility inspections occurred between July 19th and July 21st, 2021.
The complete Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) inspection report is enclosed
and consists of the following: this transmittal letter; a Title 15 Procedures checklist, outlining
applicable minimum standards for juvenile detention facilities; a Physical Plant Evaluation,
outlining applicable Title 24 minimum standards; and the Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE),
summarizing the physical plant configuration and outlining the rated capacity of the Juvenile Hall
and Camp Condor.
Please refer to the Title 15 Procedures checklist for a summary of all relevant minimum
standards, indication of compliance or noncompliance, and information that was used to
determine compliance.
Mandatory Local Inspections
In addition to the biennial inspection, Title 15, section 1313, and its authorizing statute also
require local inspections conducted by the following local authorities:
• county building inspector or person designated by the Board of Supervisors
• fire authority having jurisdiction
• local health officer
• county Superintendent of Schools
• Juvenile Court
• Juvenile Justice Commission.
Results of those inspections are considered a part of this report. The dates of the local
inspections may be found in the accompanying Procedures Checklist.

Scope of the Inspection
The inspection consisted of a review of the Juvenile Hall and Camp Condor Policy and
Procedure Manual1, a site visit to review operations, physical plant and relevant documentation,
and interviews with administration, facility staff, youth, and collaborative partners. During the
inspection, we evaluated consistency between policy and practices.
Inspection Results
Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards
Upon final review of all documentation, there are no outstanding items of noncompliance with
Title 15 at the Juvenile Hall or Camp Condor. No corrective action is required at this time.
During the inspection process, we discussed several policies and procedures with staff and
provided technical assistance and best practice recommendations which might bring more clarity
and specificity to the facility policy and procedure manual. In particular, we discussed Title 15
sections 1354 “Separation” and 1370 “Education.” Our discussions pertained to youth who are
placed on Administrative Separation (AD-SEP) due to continuously creating an unsafe
environment for themselves, other youth, and the facility. It should be noted youth placed on AD-
SEP are provided with Title 15 minimum requirements with regards to recreation and
programming but are separated from the group. At the time of the inspection, youth placed on
AD-SEP needed to achieve five (5) four-hour blocks of good behavior before being removed
from AD-SEP and returning to normal programming with the group. During our discussions of
the AD-SEP program we recommended revising the practice of youth needing to achieve five
(5) four-hour blocks of good behavior to youths on AD-SEP returning back to normal
programming with the other youths once the youth is no longer a threat to the safety and security
of the facility.
Our other discussions pertained to AD-SEP youth who are unable to attend school in the
classroom due to safety concerns. Those youth must be provided with an educational packet
and a location outside of the youth’s locked room to complete their schoolwork. If a youth
requested to complete their educational packet inside of their room, we recommended such
request be documented in a special incident report as voluntary room confinement. We further
discussed how and when AD-SEP youth who are unable to attend school in the classroom,
receive their educational packets. It was discussed that youth shall receive their educational
packet prior to school and the packet should be delivered by the school Teacher Aid or
Paraprofessional. Youth who are working on educational packets shall receive assistance from
school staff throughout the school day. We recommend this educational assistance be
documented by school and probation staff.
Following our inspection, Probation Superintendent Nino Pinocchio addressed areas of concern
with Title 15 section 1354 and 1370 with probation and school staff. Protocols and quality
assurance procedures have been put in place to hold staff accountable for ensuring youth unable
to attend school due to safety concerns receive their educational packet, education assistance
and a location outside of their room to complete schoolwork.
1 BSCC reviews only those policy and procedures required by, and applicable to, Title 15, CCR. BSCC staff do not
“approve” policies and procedures or assess them for constitutional or legal issues. Agencies should seek review
through their legal advisor, risk manager, and other persons deemed appropriate for such evaluation.

Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to the physical plant and your rated capacity remains at 25 youth
for the Juvenile Hall, 20 youth for the Transitional Age Youth (TAY) program, and 15 youth for
Camp Condor.

of noncompliance with Title 24 minimum standards.
Training
According to the most recent Standards and Training for Corrections audit, Butte County
Probation Department is in compliance with all relevant regulations and mandates and mitigating
circumstances if applicable.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) Compliance Monitoring
We reviewed applicable documentation and found no violations of the JJDPA. Please refer to
the Title 15 Procedures checklist for detailed information.
We want to thank you and your staff for their time and assistance in completing this inspection.

Superintendent Pinocchio assisted at each step by clarifying processes, answering questions,
and providing supporting documentation. This concludes the 2020-2022 biennial inspection
report.
