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.

A case plan shall be developed for each youth held for at least 30 days or more and created within 40 days of admission. Youth had been placed at the facility since July 31, 2025; however, case plans specific to the youth in the SYTF had not been completed.

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 Thursday, November 20, 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 Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) for approval no later than 60 days following the notice of noncompliance in the IIR, which is January 19, 2026. Failure to submit a CAP by January 19, 2026, 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/s 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.
