In addition, the 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 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 0880+ Imperial II LTR 20-22 Sheriff Loera 04/09/21 Page 2 respective fire authorities for a comprehensive perspective of your facility. All required inspections have been performed during this BSCC inspection cycle with the exception of the Medical and Mental Health local inspections of the El Centro and Brawley Courthouses. Imperial County Public Health was unaware that inspections were required at the courthouse facilities. Once the Medical and Mental Health inspections are completed, please forward copies to the BSCC.

Appropriate precautions were made due to COVID-19. The Oren Fox Detention Center facility looked clean as did the Herbert Hughes Correctional Center, the El Centro Court Holding and the Brawley Court Holding areas, at the time of inspection. Due to its age and frequent use, the Regional Facility needed some refreshing and repair. Title 15, CCR Inspection Our evaluation consisted of reviewing only those policies and procedures related specifically to the applicable regulations in Title 15, CCR.1 We found no issues of non- compliance during this inspection. Please refer to each facility’s Procedures Checklist for detailed information. 1 BSCC does not review all your policies and procedures. We do not “approve” your 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. 0880+ Imperial II LTR 20-22 Sheriff Loera 04/09/21 Page 3 Title 24, CCR Physical Plant There were no changes made to any of the physical plants since the last BSCC biennial inspection. We found no areas of noncompliance with Title 24 minimum standards in the Imperial County Detention Facilities. Refer to the Living Area Space Evaluation and Physical Plant Checklist for each facility. Two items of note, originally the four medical beds located in the Oren Fox Detention Center were identified as being part of the overall rated capacity of that facility. Beds dedicated to healthcare should not be included in the Rated Capacity. This was an error made by the BSCC. This reduces the rated capacity of the Oren Fox Detention Center from 274 to 270. Also, the Living Area Space Evaluation for the Herbert Hughes Correctional Center noted that the Rated Capacity for that facility was 314, in actuality it is 324. Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring The BSCC monitors local detention facilities for compliance with the JJDPA. Minors are not held in secure detention. This concludes the 2020-2022 biennial inspection cycle report of the Imperial County Jails and Court Holding Facilities. We would like to express our gratitude to Sergeant James Vooris for assistance with the inspection process. We look forward to working with you in the future to provide technical assistance.
