August 6, 2018 Rich Warren, Sheriff Glenn County Sheriff's Department 543 West Oak Street Willows, CA 95988 2016-2018 BIENNIAL INSPECTION GLENN COUNTY ADULT DETENTION FACILITY GLENN COUNTY ADULT DETENTION FACILITY PENAL CODE SECTION 6031: WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION 209 JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELIQUENCY PREVENTION ACT Dear Sheriff Warren: On June 21, 2018, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted the 2016- 2018 biennial inspection of the Glenn County Adult Detention Facility. Pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031, 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 complete BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of: this transmittal letter; the Title 15 Procedures checklist outlining Title 15 (operational) requirements; a Physical Plant Evaluation outlining Title 24 requirements for design; and, a Living Area Space Evaluation summarizing the physical plant configuration and showing the capacity of the facility. 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. 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 inspection. This file should be the first point of reference when preparing for all future inspections. 0850 Adult Jail Glenn County 16-18 Sheriff Rich Warren Page 2 Health Inspections The health inspections took place in 2017, thus are considered current. There were no areas of non- compliance noted. Fire and Life Safety Inspections The fire and life safety inspection was conducted on 11/8/17 and the fire clearance is current. BSCC INSPECTION Title 15 Inspection – Policies, Procedures and Documentation Our inspection of the facility began with a review of the Glenn County Jail Department Orders and Lexipol policies. (The department is in the process of migrating existing department orders to an electronic Lexipol policy manual.) Our audit consisted of a review of only those policies and procedures related specifically to the applicable regulations included in Title 15, Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities.1 After the review of policies and procedures, we reviewed a sampling of hourly safety checks and found that staff were performing their checks within the 60 minutes required by Title 15, Section 1027, and by policy. We also reviewed documentation on the use of sobering cells and safety cells and found that documentation conformed to applicable regulations. Our review of a sampling of grievances and discipline reports revealed timely and appropriate responses. There were no findings of non-compliance with Title 15 regulations. Please see the Procedures Checklist for further information. Title 24 – Physical Plant Inspection Main Jail: Evaluated under the 1986 and 2001 Title 24, Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities; this facility was very clean and well-maintained.2 With a BSCC rated capacity of 144 inmates, on the day of the inspection there were 104 inmates in custody, 82 male inmates and 22 female inmates. There were no Title 24 non-compliance issues. Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act 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 this facility; therefore, no violations of the JJDPA were identified. This concludes our inspection report for the 2016-2018 inspection cycle. We would like to express our gratitude to Sergeant Sonia Melgarejo. 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. 2 Facilities are assessed against Title 24 requirements in place at the time of design or significant remodel to the jail area.
