American Avenue, Suite B Fresno, CA 93725 2025-2026 COMPREHENSIVE INSPECTION, WELFARE & INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTIONS 209 & 885, FRESNO COUNTY PROBATION DEPARTMENT DETENTION FACILITIES Dear Chief Haynes: The 2025-2026 Comprehensive Inspection of the Fresno County Probation Department has been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on Monday, May 12, 2025, and the following facilities were inspected between Tuesday, August 26, 2025, and Thursday, August 28, 2025: FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE JJC-Detention 7088 JH JJC-Camp 7089 CAMP JJC-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 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. At the time of the inspection, the facility had not had an annual county building inspection since August 16, 2023, and was deemed out of compliance with this regulation. INSPECTION RESULTS We identified the following items of noncompliance with Title 15 Minimum Standards at all three facilities: Title 15 Section 1313. County Building Inspection and Evaluation of Building and Grounds: At the time of the inspection, the facility did not have an annual completed building inspection as required by Section 1313 (a). Kirk Haynes Chief Probation Officer Page 2 Title 15 Section 1361. Grievance Procedure: The youth did not have free access to the grievance form as required by 1361(a). Youth had to ask for a grievance form, which would be assigned a tracking number and provided to the youth. Refer to the attached Procedures Checklist for detailed information. Refer to the Physical Plant Evaluation and Living Area Space Evaluation attachments for information related to Rated Capacity and Title 24 compliance. CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN (CAP) An Exit Briefing with your staff was held on Friday, August 29, 2025. An Initial Inspection Report (IIR) outlining items of noncompliance was provided to your staff at the Exit Briefing. Pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 209(d), a CAP must be provided to the BSCC for approval no later than 60 days following the notice of noncompliance in the IIR, which is October 27, 2025. On September 26, 2025, a final Corrective Action Plan as to Title 15, Section 1313, County Inspection and Evaluation of Building and Grounds, was received and approved. A Corrective Action Plan for Title 15, Section 1361, Grievance Procedures remains outstanding. Failure to submit a CAP by October 27, 2025, will result in the facility being deemed unsuitable for the confinement of youth. Upon receipt and approval of your CAP, BSCC staff will follow up with further information regarding the implementation of the corrective action plan and reinspection for compliance. Failure to correct the item of noncompliance within the approved timeframe following CAP approval will result in the county’s appearance before the BSCC Board for a determination of suitability. * * * Please email me at shay.molennor@bscc.ca.gov or call (916) 708-2062 if you have any questions.
