Dear Sheriff Honea:
BIENNIAL INSPECTION, BUTTE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE, ADULT DETENTION FACILITY,
PENAL CODE SECTION 6031
On April 3, 2018, the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted the 2016-2018
biennial inspection of the Butte County Jail and court holding facilities. The facilities were inspected for
compliance with the Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities, as outlined in Titles 15 and 24,
California Code of Regulations. The inspection consisted of a review of applicable written policies and
procedures governing the operation of the facility, a site visit, and a review of documentation to verify
that regulated practices occur as required.
Lieutenants Jarred Agurkis, Robert Hadley, Daryl Hovey, and Al Smith, Sergeants Mike Hannah and
Robert Cooley and other key staff members were instrumental in the inspection process and your facilities
were well prepared for our visit. The participation of command-level staff during our visits allows a better
examination of jail conditions and, when appropriate, the rapid remedy of issues. We particularly
appreciate Undersheriff Jones and your participation in the debrief session at the conclusion of our visit.
The complete BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of: this transmittal letter; the Procedures
Checklists outlining applicable Title 15 sections for both custody and court holding facilities; and
individual Physical Plant Evaluations and Living Area Space Evaluations that summarize each facility’s
physical plant configuration. We encourage the practice of maintaining a permanent file for historical
copies of all inspections that would also include documentation of corrections made following the
inspection. This file should be the first point of reference when preparing for all future inspections.
Local Inspections
In addition to a biennial inspection by the BSCC, inspections are required by the County Health Officer
annually and the State Fire Marshal (or designee) biennially. Please consider our report in conjunction
with the reports from the local health officer and the fire authority for a comprehensive perspective of
your facility.

BSCC Inspection
Title 24 - Physical Plant
Jail: Completed in 1965, the jail is evaluated against Title 24 standards from 1963 and 1994.1 The
rated capacity is 614 inmates and 550 inmates were housed at the time of our visit. The facility was
clean and serviceable. No housing unit was crowded. No issues of non-compliance were noted.
Oroville Superior Court: Completed in 1996, this facility is evaluated against the 1994 and 2001
Title 24 standards. No issues of non-compliance were noted.
Chico Superior Court: Completed in 2015, this facility is evaluated against the 2010 Title 24
standards. No issues of non-compliance were noted.
Title 15 Inspection – Operational Review
During the inspection, BSCC staff reviewed applicable policy, procedures, practices and supporting
documentation as indicated.
Policy 2– Policy and procedures for the jail are found in Departmental Orders. Policy for the court
holding facility is found in both Departmental Orders and Court Security Plan. The latest revisions
1 Facilities are evaluated against the versions of Title 24 in effect at the time of construction or significant remodel. It is
common for different revisions of Title 24 to be applicable to a single facility.
2 BSCC does not review all of your policies and procedures. We only review those policies related specifically to the
applicable regulations included in Title 15, Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities for issues on non-compliance.

were published in 2018. BSCC reviewed all manuals against relevant regulations and found all
required elements present. Please refer to the Procedures Checklists for further information.
Training – Court holding facilities are staffed by jail deputies, so an audit of the jail’s training
program also encompasses the court holding facilities. The most recent Standards and Training for
Corrections (STC) audit (August 2017) found the agency in full compliance (with mitigation) with
all training requirements. We interviewed line staff and found them knowledgeable about
emergency procedures, Title 15 standards and related issues.
Procedures - BSCC also reviewed a variety of records to ensure that procedures relevant to Title 15
standards matched policy and that all required procedures were being performed within regulated
criteria.
To assess the facility’s staffing levels, BSCC reviewed security logs, shift rosters, incident reports,
and related records which give insight to the facility’s operation.
The jail inmates are supervised by four self-relieving teams of one sergeant and 10-12 deputies per
shift. In the absence of sergeants, jail teams operate without a supervisor. Other teams serve in
administrative, field and court assignments. BSCC reviewed a variety of records to ensure that
staffing was adequate to complete all regulated tasks in a safe and timely manner. Hourly checks of
inmates consistently occurred within regulated timelines and supervisors toured each floor daily.
We found no indication that staffing was insufficient in either the jail or the court holding facilities.
Sobering cell and restraint logs were reviewed and all required interventions were timely and
consistent with regulations. No safety cell is installed at the jail and self-injurious inmates are
housed in standard cells under enhanced surveillance. Grievances we reviewed did not reveal
unexpected or unusual complaints. Disciplinary incidents did not appear excessive and the outcomes
were consistent, proportional to the offense and in keeping with the published disciplinary matrix.
Inmates were interviewed and revealed no unexpected complaints.
Operations in the court holding facilities are overseen by Sheriff’s sergeants. Classification and
hazard information from the jail was effectively communicated to transport and court staff.
Remanded arrestees are not mixed with jail inmates prior to classification and medical screening.
Safety checks were timely.
Concerning agency procedures, we found no instances of non-compliance with the minimum
standards.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) Compliance Monitoring:
In accordance with the JJDPA, BSCC monitors jail facilities for compliance with one of four core
requirements of the Act - Separation of Juveniles from Incarcerated Adults. Minors are not housed
at the jail or the court holding facilities. No violations of the JJDPA were identified.
We do not “approve” your policies nor do we review them for constitutional or legal issues. We recommend agencies seek
policy review through their legal advisor, risk manager, and other people deemed appropriate.
