Section Description Subsection (a) states: “Have an adequate number of personnel sufficient to carry out the overall facility operation and its programming, to provide for safety and security of youth and staff and meet established standards and regulations.” Subsection (b) states: § 1321. Staffing. “Ensure that no required services shall be denied because of insufficient numbers of staff on duty absent exigent circumstances.” This section is out of compliance because Section 1354.5 and Section 1371 are impacted due to lack of staffing; see details below. Subsection (a) (2) states: “Room confinement shall not be used for the purposes of punishment, coercion, convenience, or retaliation by staff.” § 1354.5. Room Confinement. During the inspection, multiple dates were identified where youth remained in their respective locked rooms to eat their meals; this was attributed in interviews by both youth in custody and Probation Department staff to insufficient staffing. Napa County Initial Inspection Report Page 2 Title 15. Section Description Additional documentation reviewed stated that “due to staffing limitations, (youth were) not able to get their full time out.” A sample of Room Tracking Forms reviewed stated that “due to limited staffing levels … youth had time in (their) rooms.” Alternate phrasings used in documentation included “due to insufficient staffing” and “due to low staffing”. Sample documentation reviewed showed dates when youth remained in or returned to their rooms inconsistent with the Daily Schedule and with the bedtimes provided in the Youth Handbook and youth orientation. This constitutes room confinement; no indication was provided that other less restrictive options were attempted, or that there was an articulated threat to the safety and security of youth or staff. To the contrary, documentation included the statement that “due to staffing issues, the youth did not come out of their rooms. Staff reported no behavior issue.” Section states: “Juvenile facilities shall provide the opportunity for programs, recreation, and exercise a minimum of three hours a day during the week and five hours a day each Saturday, Sunday or other non-school days, of which one hour shall be an outdoor activity, weather permitting.” In a sample review of the documentation regarding program, recreation and exercise hours, staff § 1371. Programs, Recreation, and Exercise. documented dates when “due to low staffing” or “due to limited staffing”, less than the required amount of activity or “free time” was received. In interviews, both the youth in custody and Probation Department staff indicated that instances of the facility being short-staffed had resulted in youths not receiving the time required for programming, recreation, and/or exercise.
