FACILITIES
Dear Chief Haynes:
The 2023-2024 Comprehensive Inspection of the Fresno County Probation Department
has been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on Thursday, June 22, 2023, and
the following facilities were inspected between Tuesday, August 22, 2023 and Thursday,
August 24, 2023 :
FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE
JJC-Detention 7088 JH
JJC-Commitment 7089 CAMP
Secure Youth Treatment Facility 7095 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 inspection(s), 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.
INSPECTION RESULTS
We identified one item of noncompliance with Title 15 Minimum Standards:
Title 15 Section 1329, Suicide Prevention: Per section (f)(1), communication with law
enforcement and parents/guardians during the intake process as to past or present
suicidal ideations, behavior or attempts is required. The agency was not questioning law

enforcement or parents as part of the intake process.
Refer to the attached Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
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.
CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN (CAP)
An Exit Briefing with your staff was held on Thursday, August 24, 2023; BSCC staff
presented an overview of the inspection and discussed technical assistance and best
practice recommendations. BSCC staff reviewed and provided an Initial Inspection Report
for a noncompliance item found during the inspection.
On September 11, 2023, your agency submitted documentation which confirmed
compliance with the regulation. Your agency corrected the item of noncompliance
following the inspection, therefore there was no requirement to provide BSCC staff with
a CAP addressing this issue.
