A pre-inspection briefing was held on Thursday, April 17, 2025, and the following facilities were inspected between November 16, 2025, and January 26, 2026. The onsite inspection was completed during the week of November 16, 2025, and documentation review continued offsite. I want to express my gratitude to you and your staff for your patience and understanding regarding our scheduling conflicts. FACILITY NAME BSCC # FACILITY TYPE Tri-County Youth Development Center 7752 JH Tri-County Secure Youth Treatment Facility (Resiliency) 7753 SYTF Maxine Singer Youth Guidance Center 7754 Camp 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. INSPECTION RESULTS We identified the following items of noncompliance with Title 15 Minimum Standards for all three facilities: Matt Ricardy Chief of Probation Page 2 Title 15 Section 1324. Policy and Procedure Manual During the inspection, we observed that the agency's policy and procedure manual contained inconsistencies in certain areas. Although we determined that these discrepancies did not specifically hinder the implementation of the individual regulations, they still require correction. Please see the policy and procedures checklists for details. Title 15 Section 1355. Institutional Assessment and Plan We were unable to determine the timeframes set for each case plan from the documentation provided. Additionally, the periodic review notes did not adequately detail each youth's progress in relation to their identified goals. Title 15 Section 1371. Programs, Recreation, and Exercise Required rehabilitative programming was not documented on several of the days of documentation that we reviewed. Please refer to the attached Procedures Checklist for detailed information, and 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, January 29, 2026. An Initial An Inspection Report (IIR) outlining the areas of noncompliance was provided to your staff. Pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 209(d), 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 March 30, 2026. Failure to submit a CAP by March 30, 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 items 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 lisa.southwell@bscc.ca.gov or call (916) 322-1638 if you have any questions. 7252+ Yuba PROB JH Camp SYTF CI LTR 25-26 Matt Ricardy Chief of Probation Page 3 Sincerely, LISA SOUTHWELL Field Representative Facilities Standards and Operations Division Enclosures Cc: Presiding Judge, Yuba County Juvenile Court* Chair, Juvenile Justice Commission, Yuba County* Chair, Board of Supervisors, Yuba County* County Administrator, Yuba County* James Moralez, Deputy Chief (electronic copy) Bridgette Jackson, Division Director (electronic copy) *Copies of the inspection are available upon request or online at www.bscc.ca.gov. 7252+ Yuba PROB JH Camp SYTF CI LTR 25-26 JUVENILE HALLS, SPECIAL PURPOSE JUVENILE HALLS AND CAMPS Board of State and Community Corrections PROCEDURES CHECKLIST1 BSCC Code: 7752 FACILITY NAME: Tri County Youth Development Center (TCYDC) FACILITY TYPE: Juvenile Hall PERSON(S) INTERVIEWED: James Moralez, Deputy Chief; Daniel Ritner, Program Manager and Bridgette Jackson, Program Manager.

While we noticed staffing regulations; numbers to be low, especially on the evening shifts, we noted that staff are pooled for all facilities, given the size and location and staffing is shifted as necessary to accommodate the needs of the facilities. Additional resources can be utilized as needed through the utilization of administrative staff as some offices are on- site and administrators actively respond as needed and will work the line if necessary. In the event of emergencies, most administrators who live locally or on-call probation officers will be called to respond as needed. We noted that an Officer in Charge is utilized in supervisory roles most often on the PM shifts and it was confirmed that this officer ☒ ☐ ☐ has supervisor decision-making power in this role. While on site and while interviewing youth, staff and the supervisors on duty, we noticed the supervisor present in the units providing an active presence. While not physically acting in a youth supervision role, they were clearly providing support and command presence. If there is more than one supervisor on duty at a time, the secondary supervisor is used either in the camp setting or for supervision in the event it is needed. No interviews with youth indicated a denial of required activity or services due to a lack of staff. Staff we spoke with stated they did not believe they lacked staff, but felt they could do more with more staff. Technical assistance was provided regarding keeping documentation clear to ensure all staffing information is maintained, given the pooled resources. 7752 Yuba PROB Tri County Youth Development Center JH CI PRO 25-26 Page 3 of 54 JUV PRO eff. 01.01.25 TITLE 15 SECTION YES NO N/A P/P REFERENCE – COMMENTS2 (b) ensure that no required services shall be denied SECTION 216 STAFFING PLAN because of insufficient numbers of staff on duty absent exigent circumstances; At the time of the inspection, the Tri-County Campus’s pooled detention staffing consisted of: • 1 Deputy Chief Probation Officer • 2 Probation Program Manager • 7 SJCO positions, 1 SDPO position ☒ ☐ ☐ • 1 position is currently vacant for SJCO • 31 Juvenile Corrections officers During the period of inspection, six staff were on medical leave, and one staff member was on light duty.

Additional resources can be utilized as needed through the utilization of administrative staff as some offices are on-site and administrators actively respond as needed and will work the line if necessary. In the event of emergencies, most administrators who live locally or on-call probation officers will be called to respond as needed. We noted that an Officer in Charge is utilized ☒ ☐ ☐ in supervisory roles most often on the PM shifts; it was confirmed that this officer has supervisor decision-making power in this role. While on site and while interviewing youth, staff and the supervisors on duty, we noticed the supervisor present in the units providing an active presence.

If there are more than one supervisor on duty at a time, the secondary supervisor is used either in the camp setting or for supervision in the event it is needed. No interviews with youth indicated a denial of required activity or services due to a lack of staff. Technical assistance was provided regarding keeping documentation clear to ensure all staffing information is maintained, given the pooled resources. 7753 Yuba PROB Tri County Secure Youth Treatment Facility SYTF CI PRO 25-26 Page 3 of 49 J453 JUV PRO eff. 01.01.25 TITLE 15 SECTION YES NO N/A P/P REFERENCE – COMMENTS2 (b) ensure that no required services shall be denied SECTION 216 STAFFING PLAN because of insufficient numbers of staff on duty absent At the time of the inspection, the Tri-County exigent circumstances; Campus's pooled detention staffing consisted of: • 1 Deputy Chief Probation Officer • 2 Probation Program Manager • 7 SJCO positions, 1 SDPO position. • 1 position is currently vacant for ☒ ☐ ☐ SJCO. • 31 Juvenile Corrections officers During the period of inspection, six staff were on medical leave and 1 staff on light duty.
