2018-2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF HUMBOLDT COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE JAIL AND
COURT HOLDING FACILITY, PENAL CODE 6031
Dear Sheriff Honsal:
Between February 24-25, 2020, Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) staff
conducted the 2018-2020 biennial inspection of the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office County
Correctional Facility and the Court Holding 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 (CCR). In addition, BSCC conducted compliance monitoring
pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 209(f) and the federal Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA).
The complete BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of: this transmittal letter; the Title
15 Procedures Checklist outlining applicable minimum standards; 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. Refer to the Title 15
Checklist for compliance status and evidence used to determine compliance.
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. On the day of inspection, each of the local

BSCC INSPECTION
Title 15, CCR Inspection
The inspection consisted of a review of policies and procedures related specifically to applicable
Title 15, CCR sections1, a site visit to review operations, physical plant and relevant
documentation, and interviews with administration, facility staff, inmates, and collaborative
partners.
The following items of noncompliance with Title 15, CCR were identified; please refer to the
Procedures Checklist for detailed information and technical assistance:
Humboldt County Correctional Facility
Title 15, Section 1027.5 Safety Checks
The agency provided BSCC staff with seven months of documentation of safety checks
to review. During the review of safety checks in dormitory housing, BSCC staff determined
your agency is noncompliant with this regulation for not routinely completing safety
checks with the 60-minute time frame as required by this regulation. The documentation
for the dormitory housing areas showed consistently late safety checks throughout each
shift with no supervisory notification.
During the review of cell housing safety checks, BSCC staff noted you are in compliance
with this regulation for completing safety checks within the 60-minutes. However, you are
not in compliance with your agency’s own policy for conducting 30-minute safety checks.
The documentation for the cell housing areas showed consistently late safety checks
throughout each shift with no supervisory notification.
Title 15, Section 1032 Fire Suppression Preplanning
On the day of inspection, the agency’s staff could not produce monthly fire prevention
inspection documents for BSCC staff to review as required by this regulation.
1 BSCC reviews only those policy and procedures required by, and applicable to, Title 15, CCR. BSCC staff 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.

Humboldt Court Holding Facility
Title 15, Section 1024 Court Holding and Temporary Holding Facility Training
The agency provided a copy of their Standards and Training for Corrections (STC)
signature roster for Temporary Holding Facility refresher training. The roster was dated
7/15/2017. BSCC staff determined the agency to be noncompliant for not completing
refresher training once every two years for bailiffs who supervise inmates in holding.
Title 15, Section 1030 Suicide Prevention Program and (a)
The agency could not provide current suicide prevention training documentation for the
bailiff’s assigned to supervise inmates.
Title 15, Section 1032 Fire Suppression Preplanning (b)
On the day of inspection, the agency’s staff could not produce monthly fire prevention
inspection documents for BSCC staff to review as required by this regulation.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
No changes were made to the physical plant of the County Correctional Facility or the Court
Holding Facility during this rating cycle. There is one outstanding item of noncompliance with
Title 24 minimum standards. Please see the Living Area Space and Physical Plant Evaluations
for detailed information.
County Correctional Facility
Title 24, Section 2.8 Dormitories
On the day of inspection, BSCC staff determined your agency to be noncompliant with
this regulation due to being over BSCC rated capacity in Dorms S363, S385 and S555.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring
The BSCC monitors local detention facilities for compliance with the JJDPA. Minors are not held
at any of the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office County Detention Facility. Minors are brought to
the Humboldt County Courthouse by Probation staff. Minors are kept out of sight and sound of
adult inmates. Probation staff maintain control and supervision of the minors while in the court
house at all times.
Corrective Action Plan
If you choose to address the noncompliance issues noted, please provide a corrective action
plan so we may update our files.
