December 21, 2022 Katherine Weinstein Miller Chief Juvenile Probation Officer San Francisco Juvenile Probation Department 375 Woodside Avenue San Francisco, CA 94127 RE: SAN FRANCISCO 2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION PURSUANT TO WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONSCODESECTION209AND885 Dear Chief Weinstein Miller: The 2020-2022 biennial inspection of the San Francisco County Probation Department’s Juvenile Justice Center (SFJJC) and Secure Youth Treatment Facility (SYTF) has been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on August 30, 2022, via Zoom broadcast, with a small sample size document review follow up. Both facilitiesreceived a full onsite comprehensive inspection that began October 18, 2022 and concluded on October 21, 2022. 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 for each facility, outlining applicable minimum standards for juvenile detention facilities and camps; a Physical Plant Evaluation, outlining applicable Title 24 minimum standards; and the Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE) for both facilities (SFJJC/SYTF), summarizing the physical plant configuration and outlining the rated capacities of the Juvenile Justice Center and the Secure Youth Treatment Facility. 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. Katherine Weinstein Miller Chief Juvenile Probation Officer Page 2 Scope of the Inspection The inspection consisted of a review of the Juvenile Justice Center’s facility 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. The Secure Youth Treatment Facility is a facility within the detention facility complex. Currently the SYTF abides by all policy and procedures of the SFJJC as well as Title 15 minimum standards. BSCC INSPECTION RESULTS Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards Upon final review of all documentation, there are no outstanding items of noncompliance with Title 15 regulations at the San Francisco Juvenile Justice Center or the Secure Youth Treatment Facility. No corrective action is required at the time of this report. During the inspection, we observed one item of concern that was out of compliance. The item was the lack of a confidential option for youth to request medical services. This is non-compliant with section 1433 Request for Medical Services (a). This item of non-compliance was corrected before the inspection was complete. An immediate correction was made by providing youth with a seal enabled envelope to insert and submit confidential medical services request. Youth were orientated of the new process. In addition, medical, behavioral, and detention staff were advised. To ensure compliance with Title 15 Regulations and to ensure procedures and practices are consistent with policies, the inspection process included, but was not limited to, substantial reviews of incident reports, grievances, admissions and classification documents, room confinement procedures, safety check documentation, case plans, and disciplinary reports and their findings. The inspection process also included interviewing youth, detention staff, supervisors, and collaborative partners. Throughout the inspection, we had the opportunity to discuss several policies and procedures with Palei Otuhiva, Acting Director; Tim Diestel, Assistant Director; facility supervisors, as well as, with other detention staff. We observed a common theme of practice not being in line with policies and procedures. In part, this may be a result of the over imposing Title 15 language into the facility’s policies and procedures, making policies and procedures too general and non- prescriptive. In selected areas, we provided technical assistance and best practice recommendations that may bring clarity and specificity to ensure that your facility’s operational practice is in line with the policy and procedure manual. At the time of the inspection, annual inspections were completed accordingly for 2020 and 2021. We were impressed that the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a significant effect on your administrative team’s ability to ensure that local inspections occurred, annually, per Title 15 regulation § 1313 County Inspection and Evaluation of Building and Grounds. Fortunately, the 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. 7517 + 7518 San Francisco Probation JH SYTF LTR 20-22 Katherine Weinstein Miller Chief Juvenile Probation Officer Page 3 2020-2022 inspection cycle was extended from July 2022 to December 31, 2022. This resulted in providing counties additional opportunity to have the annual inspections completed before the end of the 2020-2022 inspection cycle. At the time of this report, the majority of 2022 inspections have been completed as required. As of the date of this report, your administrative team reports pending annual inspections for 2022 are scheduled as follows: County Building Inspection- Pending/No scheduled date reported Juvenile Justice Commission- Pending/ No scheduled date reported We offered SFJJC and the SYTF consultation in areas that were compliant with Title 15 minimum standards but could also benefit from technical assistance and best practice recommendations, particularly as they relate to proof of practice. These items included, but were not limited to, policy and procedure formulation, documentation procedures, intake orientation procedures, medical request procedures, Institution Assessment and Case Plans, Transition Plan procedures, Strip Search procedures, etc. We found that the facilities offer a wide array of programming offered by both local San Francisco County community-based services agencies and by collaborative partners. These recognized programs include, but are not limited to, Incarceration to College (ITC); Life Skills Mentoring; The Art of Yoga; Virtual Learning Program (Meditation Education); Restorative Justice; Career Specialization and Education; The Beat Within; Sunset Music/Art; Omega Boys Club; Anger Management; Drug and Alcohol Counseling. These positive, and in part, evidence-based programs are well received by the youth and keep the youth in a positive space and outside of their rooms. The ability of your staff to ensure programming occurs daily per Title 15 minimum standards is a commendable accomplishment considering San Francisco JJC primarily accepts youth with violent and or serious charges and the SYTF population continues to increase at the JJC complex. We observed that, in part, this is accomplished by good relationships and trust that the staff have developed with the youth. Title 24, CCR Physical Plant From a physical plant and living space area aspect, the youths’ rooms and shower areas were properly maintained and in good working order. The youths’ also have ample space for programming and recreational activities indoors and outdoors. There are no outstanding items of noncompliance with Title 24 minimum standards. There were no changes made to the physical plant and your overall rated capacity for the Juvenile Justice Center complex is a rated capacity of 150 beds. The facility’s rated capacity is as follows: JH (max rated cap = 150): JH Beds – 135 STYF Beds – 15 7517 + 7518 San Francisco Probation JH SYTF LTR 20-22 Katherine Weinstein Miller Chief Juvenile Probation Officer Page 4 Training According to the most recent Standards and Training for Corrections audit, San Francisco County Probation Department’s Juvenile Justice Center and the SYTF follow all relevant regulations and mandates and mitigating circumstances if applicable. Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) Compliance Monitoring We reviewed applicable documentation for the inspection cycle and found no violations of the JJDPA. Please refer to Title 15 Procedures checklist for detailed information. I would like to acknowledge Palei Otuhiva, Acting Director, for his leadership and guidance toward making the inspection process as organized and seamless as could be expected. In addition, Assistant Director Tim Diestel’s experience and knowledge was pivotal in providing needed information. I was impressed with AD Diestel’s passion of the job and the work that he does after thirty years of service. Director Otuhiva and AD Diestel worked very well together in ensuring that any areas of concerns were corrected immediately. They were also well supported by Senior Supervisors, such as Graveyard Senior Supervisor Scott Kato, who worked several hours beyond his regularly scheduled graveyard shift to meet and go over safety check documentation. I commend them all for their hard work in preparing for the inspection. Director Otuhiva and his staff were challenged with preparing for the inspection in an unfamiliar format of uploading many documents to BSCC. I would also like to thank everyone for making themselves available throughout the inspection and providing candid responses to all inquiries. Thank you and your entire staff for making me feel welcomed during the inspection process. Your staff were good hosts and open to technical assistance and recommendations that were provided. Your collaborative partners are very passionate about working with the youth and speak highly of youth relationships with facility staff. --- This concludes the 2020-2022 biennial inspection report. I am available to assist as needed and happy to provide technical assistance when requested. I look forward to continuing to work together.
