2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF FRESNO COUNTY MAIN JAIL, NORTH
ANNEX, SOUTH ANNEX, B.F. SISK COURT FACILITY, FRESNO SUPERIOR
COURT HOLDING, NORTH ANNEX COURT HOLDING, AND THE JUVENILE
JUSTICE CAMPUS DELINQUINCY CENTER, PENAL CODE 6031
Sheriff Mims,
The week of June 14, 2021, pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031, BSCC staff began the
2020-2022 Biennial on-site Inspections of the Fresno County Main Jail, North Annex,
South Annex, B.F. Sisk Court Facility, Fresno Superior Court Holding, North Annex Court
Holding, and the Juvenile Justice Campus Delinquency Center.
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
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.
The BSCC inspection report consists of this transmittal letter and the attached Procedures
checklist, the Physical Plant Checklist and the Living Area Space Evaluation. Compliance
is indicated by policy and/or documentation review. Please refer to the Title 15
Procedures Checklist for a summary of all relevant minimum standards, indication of
compliance or noncompliance, and information used to determine compliance.
Local Inspections
In addition to a biennial inspection by the BSCC, inspections are 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 facility. Please forward
them to the BSCC once they have been completed.

Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to any of the Fresno County facility physical plants since
the last BSCC biennial inspection. We found no areas of BSCC noncompliance in any of
the Fresno County Jails or Court Holding Facilities except in the North Annex:
Title 24, Section 1231.2.8 Dormitories
1. Dormitory minimum requirement for 90 square feet per inmate in triple-bed
units
2. Be designed for no more than 64 inmates
Title 24, Section 1231.2.9 Dayrooms
1. Dayroom space shall contain 35 square feet of floor area per inmate.
Title 24, Section 1231.3.1 Toilets/urinals
2. In dormitories the toilet/urinal ratio to inmates is 1:10.

3. In dormitories the wash basin ratio to inmates is 1:10
Title 24, Section 1231.4 Showers

Please see the enclosed Physical Plant Evaluation Checklist for detailed information.
The capacity of the North Annex has been set by court order, it is above the Rated
Capacity determined by the Board of State and Community Corrections. This court
ordered increase in capacity plays a direct role in the above identified noncompliance
issues.
The Fresno County South Annex is scheduled to be closed with the opening of the new
West Annex within the next year.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring
The BSCC monitors local detention facilities for compliance with the JJDPA. Minors are

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.
Prior Notes: 2018 – 3A has two triple and 14 double bunks. RC unchanged.
