To prepare for this inspection, a pre-inspection briefing was held May 30, 2019.

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 requirements of juveniles from incarcerated adults.

BSCC staff conducted virtual inspections via desk audit of all facilities originally scheduled for inspection during this time. Desk audits are comprised of a comprehensive review of all applicable policies and procedures and documentation made available by your Department. BSCC staff intend to conduct comprehensive on-site inspections of all local detention facilities as soon as travel restrictions are lifted.
