2016-2018 BIENNIAL INSPECTION
CALAVERAS COUNTY ADULT DETENTION FACILITY
Dear Sheriff DiBasilio:
On May 14, 2018, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted the 2016-
2018 biennial inspection of the Calaveras County Adult Detention Facility. Pursuant to Penal Code
Section 6031, this inspection was performed to determine compliance with the Minimum Standards for
Local Detention Facilities as outlined in Titles 15 and 24, California Code of Regulations. In addition,
BSCC staff conducted compliance monitoring pursuant to the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency
Prevention Act (JJDPA) for the separation requirements of juveniles from incarcerated adults.
The complete BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of: this transmittal letter; the Title 15
Procedures checklist outlining Title 15 requirements for the jail facility; the Physical Plant Evaluation
outlining Title 24 design requirements; and, the Living Area Space Evaluation summarizing the physical
plant configuration and the total rated capacity.
LOCAL INSPECTIONS
In addition to the biennial inspection by the BSCC, inspections are also required annually by the County
Health Officer and biennially by the State Fire Marshal or an authorized representative (Health and Safety
Code Sections 101045 and 13146.1). Please consider our report in conjunction with the reports from the
County Health Officer and the respective fire authorities for a comprehensive perspective of your
facilities.
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.

BSCC INSPECTION
Title 15 Inspection – Policies, Procedures and Documentation
Our inspection began with a review of the Calaveras County Sheriff's Office Custody Bureau Policy and
Procedures Manual. Our audit consisted of a review of only those policies and procedures related
specifically to the applicable regulations included in Title 15, Minimum Standards for Local Detention
Facilities.1
After the review of the manual, we reviewed a sampling of hourly safety checks at each facility and found
that staff were performing their checks within the 60 minutes required by Title 15, Section 1027, and by
policy. We also reviewed documentation on the use of sobering cells and safety cells in the jail and found
that documentation conformed to applicable regulations. Our review of a sampling of grievances and
discipline reports revealed timely and appropriate responses.
There were no Title 15 non-compliance issues to report.
Title 24 – Physical Plant Inspection
Adult Detention Facility: This facility is evaluated under 2008 Title 24, Minimum Standards for Local
Detention Facilities2 and was very clean and well-maintained. With a BSCC rated capacity of 128
inmates, on the day of the inspection there were 72 male inmates and 10 female inmates in custody. There
were no Title 24 non-compliance issues to report.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act 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 this
facility; therefore, no violations of the JJDPA were identified.
_______________
1 BSCC does not review all policies and procedures. We do not “approve” policies and procedures nor do we review them for
constitutional or legal issues. We recommend agencies seek review through their legal advisor, risk manager and other persons
deemed appropriate.
2 Facilities are assessed against Title 24 requirements in place at the time of design or significant remodel to the jail area.
