November 28, 2022 Steve Jackson, Chief Probation Officer San Joaquin County Probation Department 24 S Hunter St STE 201 Stockton, CA 95202 RE: SAN JOAQUIN 2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION PURSUANT TO WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION 209 AND 885 Dear Chief Jackson: The 2020-2022 biennial inspection of the San Joaquin County Probation Department’s Juvenile Hall (SJCJH), Camp Peterson (SJCCP), and the Secure Youth Treatment Facilities (SYTF) within Camp Peterson and Juvenile Hall has been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on March 24, 2022, with a document review follow up visit on May 25, 2022. Both facilities received a full comprehensive inspection from July 25th through July 29th, 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, summarizing the physical plant configuration and outlining the rated capacities of the Juvenile Hall and Camp Peterson. 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. Steve Jackson Chief Probation Officer Page 2 Scope of the Inspection The inspection consisted of a review of the Juvenile Hall’s and Camp Peterson’s Policy and Procedure Manuals1, 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. 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 Joaquin County Juvenile Hall or at Camp Peterson. No corrective action is required at this time. 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, staff, and collaborative partners. Throughout the inspection, we had the opportunity to discuss several policies and procedures with Deputy Chief Probation Officer, Shannon Gonzales, and Assistant Deputy Chiefs Michelle Cantlin and Ly Fong, as well as, with other detention staff. In doing so, we provided technical assistance and best practice recommendations that may bring clarity and specificity to the facility’s policy and procedure manual. At the time of the inspection, there were several annual inspections pending for the year 2022. However, we were impressed that the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a significant effect on your administrative team’s ability to ensure that most local inspections occurred annually, per Title 15 regulation § 1313 local inspections. As of the date of this report, the remaining local inspections to be completed for 2022 are Environmental Health, Nutritional Health, and Medical/Mental Health. Your Juvenile Hall administrative team has indicated that these pending inspections are scheduled to be completed on November 15, 2022. We offered SJCJH and Camp Peterson technical assistance in areas that were compliant with Title 15 minimum standards, but could also benefit from 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, long term evacuation procedures, staffing, admittance procedures, grievance procedures, etc. We found that the facilities offer a wide array of programming offered by both local San Joaquin County community-based services agencies and by Probation Staff. These recognized programs include, but are not limited to, Anger Control Training (ACT), Problem Solving/COG, 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. 7529 7530 7531 7532 San Joaquin Probation JH Camp STYF LTR 20-22 Steve Jackson Chief Probation Officer Page 2 Social Skills/Skills-Streaming/Advance Practice Skills Training, Moral Reasoning, CBI- Substance Abuse (CBI-SA), EBP Programming Passport, Aggression Replacement Training (ART); Cognitive Behavior Groups (CBG); Seeking Safety, Substance/Alcohol Abuse Treatment and Education, and Religious Programming. These positive, evidence-based programs are well received by the youth and keep the youth in a positive space and outside of their rooms. 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 youth 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 Hall remains at 179 beds and at Camp Peterson, the overall capacity remains at 45 beds. With the addition of the Secure Youth Track Facility, the rated capacity for the entire campus is as follows: JH (max rated cap = 179): JH Beds – 164 STYF Beds – 15 Camp (max rated cap = 45): Camp Beds – 35 STYF Beds – 10 Training According to the most recent Standards and Training for Corrections audit, San Joaquin County Probation Department’s Juvenile Hall and Camp Peterson 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 Shannon Gonzales, Deputy Chief Probation Officer, for her leadership and guidance toward making the inspection process as organized and seamless as could be expected. In addition, Deputy Chief Gonzales received a high level of support by Michelle Cantlin, Assistant Deputy Chief Probation Officer, and Ly Fong, Assistant Deputy Chief Probation Officer. I commend the trio for their hard work in preparing for the inspection. They were challenged with preparing for the inspection in an unfamiliar format of uploading many documents to BSCC. I would also like to thank Unit Supervisor Ernest Mello for making himself available throughout the inspection and providing candid responses to all inquiries. 7529 7530 7531 7532 San Joaquin Probation JH Camp STYF LTR 20-22 Steve Jackson Chief Probation Officer Page 2 Thank you and your entire staff for making me feel welcomed during the inspection process.
