Contra Costa County, Detention Facilities (2020-2022 inspection cycle)

January 19, 2021 Sheriff David Livingston Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office 651 Pine Street, 7th Floor Martinez, CA 94553 2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE JAIL AND COURT HOLDING FACILITIES, PENAL CODE 6031 Dear Sheriff Livingston, On January 12 and 14, 2021, pursuant to Penal Code section 6031.1 and Welfare and Institutions Code sections 209 and 885, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted the 2020-2022 biennial inspection of the Contra Costa County Jails and Court Holding Facilities. A pre-inspection briefing was held on September 17, 2020. 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 (CCR). In addition, BSCC staff conducted compliance monitoring pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 209(f) for the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) for the separation of juveniles from incarcerated adults. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the quarantine issuance by your appointed health authority, Contra Costa Detention Health Services, BSCC staff could not conduct an onsite inspection of the Marsh Creek Detention Facility (MCDF) and several housing modules at the Martinez Detention and West County Detention Facilities. BSCC staff conducted a desk audit of these areas and MCDF. The desk audit comprised a comprehensive review of all applicable policies and procedures, interviews with staff, and documentation your agency provided. The BSCC inspection report consists of this transmittal letter and the attached Title 15 Procedures Checklist (PRO). We are including the Physical Plant Evaluation (PHY) and Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE) from your 2018-2020 inspection cycle for your information only. The PHY and LASE will be inspected and updated during our next onsite inspection. Please refer to the Title 15 PRO for a summary of all relevant minimum standards, an indication of compliance or noncompliance, and information used to determine compliance. 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. Each of the local inspections were current. 440+ Contra Costa II III CH LTR 20-22 Sheriff David Livingston Contra Costa County Page 2 DETENTION FACILITIES Inspection Martinez Detention Marsh Creek Detention West County Detention Fire and Life Safety 2/7/2020 11/4/2020 5/10/2019 Medical and Mental Health 11/3/2020 11/4/2020 11/3/2020 Nutritional Health 11/14/2020 11/13/2020 11/12/2020 Environmental Health 11/22/2019 11/19/2019 11/17/2020 COURT HOLDING FACILITIES Inspection A.F.

Title 15, CCR Inspection Our evaluation consisted of reviewing only those policies and procedures related specifically to the applicable regulations included in Title 15, CCR.1 We found your agency has no areas of noncompliance during this inspection cycle. Please refer to the Procedures Checklist for detailed information. Title 24, CCR Physical Plant Detention Facilities There were no changes made to any facility's physical plant since the last BSCC biennial inspection except for the Martinez Detention Facility. Module "M" at the Martinez Detention Facility is currently being remodeled to create a medical and mental health housing area for persons incarcerated. BSCC staff is working in conjunction with your staff for continued compliance reviews of the area. Due to all of the beds being removed from Module "M", the rated capacity will be evaluated at various stages as construction continues. At this time, we found no areas of noncompliance. Court Holding Facilities There were no changes made to the physical plant of any facility since the last BSCC biennial inspection. 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. 5800+ Contra Costa II III CH Ltr 20-22 Sheriff David Livingston Contra Costa County Page 3 We found no areas of noncompliance at the Richmond, Walnut Creek, and A.F. Bray Superior Court facilities; however, BSCC staff did provide technical assistance to your command staff regarding ligature issues in the court holding cells at the three listed facilities. Although regulation requirements regarding ligature were not adopted until after the facilities were constructed, your command staff overseeing the court holding facilities informed the BSCC staff they would be taking steps to mitigate the issues. Please refer to the Physical Plant Checklist for detailed information. Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring The BSCC monitors local detention facilities for compliance with the JJDPA. Minors are not held at any of the Contra Costa County Jails and have designated areas separate from adults at the Court Holding Facilities. Corrective Action Plan On January 22, 2021, BSCC staff held an Exit Brief with your staff. During that brief, BSCC staff provided an overview of the biennial inspection and provided technical assistance and best practices. We found no noncompliance issues during the inspection, and your agency is not required to provide a Corrective Action Plan. This concludes the 2020-2022 biennial inspection cycle report of the jail and court holding facilities. We want to express our gratitude to Assistant Sheriff Steve Simpkins, Captain Douglas Muse, Lieutenant Enrique Henriquez, Lieutenant Craig Brooks, Lieutenant Scott Wooden, Lieutenant Andrew Jensen, and Sheriff's Specialist Sean Boyle.
