Dear Sheriff Mimms:
BIENNIAL INSPECTION, FRESNO COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE, ADULT DETENTION
FACILITIES, PENAL CODE SECTION 6031
During the week of April 30, 2018, the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted
the 2016-2018 biennial inspection of the Fresno County Jails 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.
Captains Ron Vega and Stephen McComas, Lieutenants John Copher and Rich Wilhoite, and Sergeants
Matt Nunley, Robert Buenrosto and Chris Curran were instrumental in the inspection process and your
facilities were well prepared for 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 jail 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 inspections. 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.

* Missing or overdue – Please forward inspection results to BSCC as they become available.
Jail fire inspections are current but a fire clearance was withheld pending corrections. Fire inspections for
some court holding facilities are overdue, leading to the following issue of non-compliance:
Title 15 Section 1032: Fire Suppression Preplanning – This regulation requires fire prevention
inspection at least once every two years. Inspections are overdue for the court holding facilities at
Superior Court, B. F. Sisk Court and the Juvenile Justice court.
All other inspections revealed no significant areas of non-compliance. The individual inspector’s
comments and concerns were noted in their local reports, including discussion of maintenance and
housekeeping issues. Refer to original local inspection reports for other details.
BSCC Inspection
Title 24 - Physical Plant
Generally, jails are designed in accordance with Title 24 standards which establish the capacity of
cells based on living space, recreational space and fixtures such as washbasins and showers. Those
capacities are the “Rated Capacity” and are used by BSCC to compare a facility to the applicable
standards. But, the Sheriff’s Department reports that, because of a lawsuit, a court has allowed the
county’s jails to exceed the BSCC capacities. For the purposes of this report, we compare the
physical plants to the capacities as established by BSCC and not any other standards.

Main Jail: Completed in 1989, the Main Jail was evaluated using physical plant standards from
1980, 1988 and 1994.1 At the time of our site visit, two sobering cells were out of service due to
damage but were returned to service prior to the submission of this report. The facility operates an
intake & release area on the first floor and five housing floors consisting of single, double and
multiple cell types. The combined capacity of the housing cells is 1,064 and the facility housed 897
inmates on the day of our visit. Despite its age, the facility was clean and no items of deferred
maintenance were noted.
South Annex Jail: This facility was opened in 1941 and is evaluated using physical plant standards
from 1963, 1986, 1988 and 1994. The four-floor facility consists of holding cells, dorms, single
cells and multiple cells. The first-floor cells have been removed from service, leaving 379 usable
bunks for housing, plus holding and special use cells. The BSCC rated capacity remains unchanged
at 528, regardless of the closed housing areas. At the time of our site visit, 420 inmates were housed.
A new facility, the West Annex, is under construction and will replace this facility when completed.
Due to crowding, the following issue of non-compliance was noted:
Title 24 Section 8227 Multiple Cells (1963): This regulation establishes the criteria for
multiple cells, including a minimum space of 500 cubic feet per inmate. Cells 3 C&D, 4
A&C and 4 D, E&F each had more inmates housed than permitted by the space available.
North Annex Jail: This facility was opened in 1992 and is evaluated using physical plant standards
from 1988 and 2001. The facility has a rated capacity of 1,152 inmates, all held in dormitory
housing. On the day of our inspection, the facility held 1,532 inmates. Twenty-three of twenty-four
dorms exceeded their BSCC rated capacity. The facility was clean, and no evidence of deferred
maintenance was noted.
The following issues of non-compliance at the North Annex Jail were noted:
Title 24 Section 1231.2.8 Dormitories: This regulation establishes criteria for dormitories
including the maximum number of inmates allowed in any single dorm (64 inmates). Dorms on
all floors exceeded the maximum permissible count for any dorm.
Title 24 Section 1231.2.9 Dayrooms: This regulation establishes the minimum dayroom space
for each inmate (35 square feet). All housing on the second through fifth floors (except Pod 2A)
lacked sufficient dayroom space for the number of inmates confined.
Title 24 Section 1231.3.1 Toilets: This regulation establishes the minimum toilet-to-inmate
ratio to inmates at 1:10. Each dorm has six toilets installed but nearly all dorms exceeded 60
inmates. Due to crowding, not enough toilets were available in dorms on all floors.
Title 24 Section 1231.3.2 Washbasins: This regulation establishes the minimum washbasin-
to-inmate ratio to inmates at 1:10. Each dorm has six washbasins installed but nearly all dorms
exceeded 60 inmates. Due to crowding, not enough washbasins were available in dorms on all
floors.
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.

Title 24 Section 1231.3.4 Showers : This regulation establishes the minimum shower-to-inmate
ratio to inmates at 1:20. Each dorm has three showers installed but nearly all dorms exceeded
60 inmates. Due to crowding, not enough showers were available in dorms on all floors.
B.F. Sisk Court Holding: This facility is a former federal court and is evaluated against the 2005
Title 24 standards. The facility has a capacity of 68 inmates, held in 19 holding cells on four floors.
No areas of non-compliance were noted.
North Annex Court Holding: The North Annex Court holding facility is co-located with the North
Annex jail. The facility was constructed or remodeled in 1994 and is inspected under the 1992 Title
24 standards. The facility has a capacity of 89 inmates held in nine holding cells. No areas of non-
compliance were noted regarding the physical plant.
Juvenile Justice Court Holding: The Juvenile Justice Center court holding facility is used to hold
adults summoned to the juvenile courts. The facility was constructed in 2009 and is evaluated under
the 2005 Title 24 standards. The facility appears new and is well maintained. It has the capacity to
hold 14 adults and 90 juveniles. Separation is maintained by moving juveniles directly from housing
to the courtrooms. No inmates were present during our site visit. No areas of non-compliance were
noted regarding the physical plant.
Superior Court Holding: The Fresno Superior Court holding facility was constructed in 1965 and
evaluated under the 1963, 1980, 1988 and 1994 Title 24 standards. The facility has a capacity of
123 inmates, held in 21 cells. No areas of non-compliance were noted regarding the physical plant.
Regarding the physical plants, no other 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– A single policy manual, supplemented by facility-specific Operational Orders, applies to
all facilities, both jails and court holding. We noted that all components required by regulation were
found in policy. Policies are reviewed annually and revised as needed. BSCC recommends that
specialized policy be developed for court holding facilities which may require different procedures
than the jails (e.g. counts.)
Training –The most recent Standards and Training for Corrections (STC) audit (September 2017)
found the agency in compliance with all training requirements. We interviewed line staff and found
them knowledgeable about emergency procedures, Title 15 standards and related issues. The agency
self-certified that all court holding staff met the minimum training standards.
The agency has implemented a corporal rank for career training, but all actual supervision is
conducted by Sheriff’s sergeants. All supervisors are current in supervisory training.
2 BSCC does not review all 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. 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.

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. For the housing units, records of
time-sensitive events, including meal and laundry services, safety checks, recreation movements and
non-professional visiting, are kept in automated journals. We noted that safety checks were
consistently timely. Out of cell opportunities (recreation, exercise, etc.) are documented and met the
required minimum frequency. We reviewed grievances and did not note persistent complaints about
missed recreation, visits, laundry exchanges or other activities which are often delayed in
understaffed facilities. Grievances were all reviewed by a supervisor and were accepted for any
condition of confinement. We interviewed inmates at each jail. Inmates complained about crowded
conditions generally but did not complain specifically about missed programming, cold food or yard
opportunities, which is often the case in crowded facilities. Intake medical screening is conducted
by trained staff and a medical professional assesses all inmates prior to housing. Overall, despite the
crowded conditions, we found no indication that staffing was insufficient to meet the minimum
standards.
Inmates in certain high-risk low-incidence conditions often require supervision in special use
equipment and cells, such as restraint chairs, sobering cells and safety cells. Specialty cells are only
available at the Main Jail as the safety cells at South Annex have been closed.
Restraints: Each use of restraints (restraint chair) is documented by an incident report while timed
events are tracked in the automated event tracking system. BSCC reviewed a sampling of events
and found documentation to be clear and comprehensive. Checks and interventions, including
medical and supervisory checks, are logged electronically and were consistently timely.
Sobering Cells: Sobering cell logs at the Main Jail revealed timely safety checks and supervisory
oversight. Logs verify that the cell’s occupants, as a group, are observed at least every 30 minutes.
Medical and supervisory interventions were timely. Medical staff assessed any inmate remaining in
the cell longer than six hours.
Safety Cells: There are four safety cells at the Main Jail, all in the intake area. Safety cells are used
for violent or self-injurious inmates requiring mental health intervention. The need to place an
inmate in the safety cell, along with the supervisor’s oversight, is recorded in an incident report for
each placement. All required events, such as safety checks and offers of food and water, are recorded
electronically. A sampling of safety cell confinements was reviewed and all events and interventions
by custody and medical staff were noted to be timely and complete. Supervisory and management
oversight was evident.
Programming and educational offerings are limited by space and capacity but are delivered upon
request. A variety of outreach programs are offered by ten staff members and volunteers. The
opening of the West Annex should provide more programming space.

Operations in the court holding facilities are overseen by Sheriff’s sergeants. Classification and
hazard information from the jail was effectively communicated to court staff on paper files.
Remanded arrestees are not mixed with jail inmates prior to classification and medical screening.
Safety checks were timely.
Concerning procedures, no areas of non-compliance were noted at any of the facilities.
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 jails. Effective separation is maintained at the Juvenile Justice Center, the only court holding
facility that accepts both adult and minor offenders. No violations of the JJDPA were identified.
Corrective Action Plan:
The following areas of non-compliance were noted:
• Title 15 Section 1032: Fire Suppression Preplanning (Superior, Sisk and Juvenile Court
Holding)
• Title 24 Section 8227 Multiple Cells (1963) (South Annex)
• Title 24 Section 1231.2.8 Dormitories (North Annex)
• Title 24 Section 1231.2.9 Dayrooms (North Annex)
• Title 24 Section 1231.3.1 Toilets (North Annex)
• Title 24 Section 1231.3.2 Washbasins (North Annex)
• Title 24 Section 1231.3.4 Showers (North Annex)
BSCC encourages local agencies to provide a corrective action plan to remedy any areas of non-
compliance. Upon completion of all remedies, BSCC will note the agency’s compliance in our
records. Please provide a plan for corrective action to BSCC within 60 days, or November 5,
2018, or at your first convenience.

Prior Notes: Housing – Housing floor rated capacity was based on a pilot project approved July 15, 1993. The housing areas are of the
podular design. Each Pod or mod is made up of single cells that line the periphery of the dayroom (with the exception of FF). Pods A
and F are Ad. Seg. Units, differing only with the amount of ‘out of cell’ time they are provided. Pods B, C, D and E are general
population units: Cells are triple bunked and left unlocked. The entire area is operated as a dormitory per pilot project (1993). Each pod
(A-F) contains 3 showers located in the dayroom area. Unit FF is an Ad-Seg unit and is linear in design with one shower located in the
corridor area outside the row of cells. There are four professional visit (contact) rooms on each floor, as well as two medical rooms for
sick call, a program room and small indoor recreation area. The outdoor ‘yard’ is located on the roof – composed on 3 distinct areas. Jm
Prior Notes: 2012-2014 inspection: All of the A Unit cells on each floor now have triple bunks. If used with open doors as are the other
units (B-F), then they could be considered dormitories. No change was made to the facility RC.
