A pre-inspection briefing was held on April 29, 2021; the facility inspections occurred between August 8th and August 11th, 2021. The complete Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) inspection report is enclosed and consists of the following: this transmittal letter; a Title 15 Procedures checklist, outlining applicable minimum standards for juvenile detention facilities; a Physical Plant Evaluation, outlining applicable Title 24 minimum standards; and the Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE), summarizing the physical plant configuration and outlining the rated capacity of the Juvenile Hall and Camp. Please refer to the Title 15 Procedures checklist for a summary of all relevant minimum standards, indication of compliance or noncompliance, and information that was used to determine compliance. Mandatory Local Inspections In addition to the biennial inspection, Title 15, section 1313, and its authorizing statute also require local inspections conducted by the following local authorities: • county building inspector or person designated by the Board of Supervisors • fire authority having jurisdiction • local health officer • county Superintendent of Schools • Juvenile Court • Juvenile Justice Commission. Results of those inspections are considered a part of this report. The dates of the local inspections may be found in the accompanying Procedures Checklist. Chief Richart Page 2 9/9/2021 Scope of the Inspection The inspection consisted of a review of the Juvenile Hall and Challenge Camp Policy and Procedure Manual1, a site visit to review operations, physical plant and relevant documentation, and interviews with administration, facility staff, youth, and collaborative partners. During the inspection, we evaluated consistency between policy and practices. Inspection Results Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards Upon final review of all documentation, there are no outstanding items of noncompliance with Title 15 at the Juvenile Hall or Camp. No corrective action is required at this time. During the inspection process, we discussed several policies and procedures with staff and provided technical assistance and best practice recommendations which might bring more clarity and specificity to the facility policy and procedure manual. In particular, we discussed Title 15 sections 1354.5 Room Confinement, 1370 Education and 1328 Safety Checks. Our discussions pertained to ensuring youth placed on room confinement only after all less restrictive options have been attempted and exhausted. Youth placed on room confinement shall also pose an immediate threat to the safety and security of any youth or staff. Youth who are unable to attend school due to being placed on room confinement must be provided with educational material and a location outside of the youth’s locked room to complete their schoolwork. Youth who are on room confinement shall be provided with educational material daily during school hours. Educational material should be delivered by school staff Program Teacher and/or Instructional Assistant. Youth working on educational material shall receive assistance periodically throughout the school day. Such educational assistance should be documented by School and Probation staff. If a youth requested to complete their educational material inside of their room, we recommended such request be documented in a special incident report as voluntarily room confinement. Our other discussion pertained to the completion of safety checks. It should be noted El Dorado county goes above and beyond the minimum safety checks requirement of fifteen (15) minutes by mandating every safety check completed every ten (10) minutes. However, review of safety checks documentation provided revealed there are times when safety checks are being completed outside of juvenile hall policy of every ten (10) minutes but not outside of Title 15 regulation of every 15 minutes. During our debriefing, this issue was discussed with Management and quality assurance procedures have been put in place to hold staff accountable for completing safety checks within of juvenile hall policy and procedure. During our debriefing we also discussed the need to ensure safety checks are consistently being completed at random or varied intervals during the graveyard shifts. Following our inspection, Superintendent Kaci Smith addressed areas of concern with Title 15 section 1354.5 and 1370 with probation and school staff. Protocols and quality assurance procedures have been put in place to hold staff accountable for ensuring youth unable to attend school due to safety concerns receive their educational material, education assistance and a location outside of their room 1 BSCC reviews only those policy and procedures required by, and applicable to, Title 15, CCR. BSCC staff do not “approve” policies and procedures or assess them for constitutional or legal issues. Agencies should seek review through their legal advisor, risk manager, and other persons deemed appropriate for such evaluation. 7079+ El Dorado JH Camp LTR 20-22 Chief Richart Page 3 9/9/2021 to complete schoolwork.
