2016-2018 BIENNIAL INSPECTION, PENAL CODE 6031, WELFARE & INSTITUTION CODE 209
KERN COUNTY'S TYPE I, TYPE II, TEMPORARY HOLDING AND COURT HOLDING FACILITIES
Dear Sheriff Youngblood,
In June of 2018, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted the 2016-2018
biennial inspection of the following Kern County local detention facilities:
Central Receiving Facility Lerdo Pre-Trial Facility Lerdo Maximum/Medium
Lerdo Minimum Facility Taft Court Holding Mojave Jail
Justice Building Court Holding Kern River Valley Sheriff's Shafter Court Holding
Substation
Delano Court Holding Lamont Sheriff's Substation and Kern Justice Facility
Court Holding
Pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031, these inspections were 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; four Title 15
Procedures checklists outlining Title 15 requirements for each facility; a Physical Plant Evaluation
outlining Title 24 requirements for the design for each facility; and, a Living Area Space Evaluation
summarizing the physical plant configuration and showing the capacity of each facility.
The BSCC is in receipt of a letter from Chief Deputy Larry McCurtain stating the Ridgecrest Jail Facility
was closed on June 30, 2016; the facility was not inspected during this cycle. Chief Deputy Larry
McCurtain’s letter stated you will notify the BSCC if the decision is made to reopen the Ridgecrest Jail
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 including
documentation of corrections made following the inspection. This file should be the first point of
reference when preparing for future inspections.
Health Inspections
The health inspections for each facility were current. There were no issues of noncompliance; however,
the Health Inspector did make several notes for concerns to be addressed. If you choose to address the
issues noted by the Health Inspector, please provide a corrective action to the BSCC to file with the
inspection report.
Fire and Life Safety Inspections
The fire and life safety inspections for all the facilities were current.
BSCC Inspection (Title 15, CCR; Policy and Procedures)
Prior to the inspection, we reviewed the Kern County Sheriff’s Office Detentions Bureau Policy and
Procedure Manual and the policy and procedures manuals for court holding and substations. 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 Our review
determined issues of noncompliance with the manual, and are summarized below.
The on-site inspection of the facilities began with a review of documentation including safety check logs,
incident reports, grievances and disciplinary actions to ensure practices are consistent with policies and
Title 15. Our inspection revealed timely and appropriate responses to grievances and disciplinary reports
were completed in accordance with Title 15. The Compliance Unit has an extensive tracking system for
tracking, handling, assigning and conducting a follow up on the grievances filed. The review of the
documentation for hourly safety checks disclosed a system wide discrepancy in the checks being
completed within the required hour.
We also reviewed documentation on the placement and management of inmates in the sobering cells,
safety cells and restraints (when used as defined in Section 1058). We found the documentation
conformed to applicable regulations and policies for inmates who are placed in a safety cell in accordance
of Title 15 Section 1055 with the exception for inmates placed in a safety cell for suicide watch overflow.
Such placements can be a major source of jail litigation, but when operated and managed according to
regulation, exposure to litigation is reduced. The review for appropriate justification for placement in the
sobering cells, safety cells and in restraints appeared to be with in Title 15 regulations.
Documentation on the above mentioned items can be found in more detail on the Procedures Checklist.
1 BSCC does not review all of 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.

The following system wide items of noncompliance were found:
Title 15, Section 1029, Policies and Procedures Manual, requires that facility administrator(s) shall
develop and publish a manual of policy and procedures for the facility. The policy and procedures manual
shall address all applicable Title 15 and Title 24 regulations and shall be comprehensively reviewed and
updated at least every two years. We determined the Detentions Bureau Policies and Procedures and the
Temporary and Court Holding Station Policies (Shafter Court Holding, Delano Court Holding and Kern
River Valley Sheriff's Substation) are noncompliant with Title 15 Section 1029 Policy and Procedures
Manual due to the manuals not being comprehensively reviewed and updated at least every two years.
The dates on numerous policies from the manuals are outside of the two-year requirement.
Title 15, Section 1027, Number of Personnel, requires that a sufficient number of personnel shall be
employed in each local detention facility to conduct at least hourly safety checks of inmates through direct
visual observation of all inmates and to ensure the implementation and operation of the programs and
activities required by these regulations.
BSCC staff reviewed hourly safety checks documented at each facility for 2017 and 2018. The
documentation showed staff were generally performing their safety checks, but they were not completed
within the required sixty minutes at all detention facilities. Additionally, staff were not following your
Detentions Bureau Policy, C-450 Directive 2, by not documenting the reason for the late safety check and
notifying a supervisor. When interviewing staff and supervisors on the agency procedure for late safety
checks, some were unaware of the policy process. At the end of our inspections at each facility, we made
notifications to the Facility Commanders or their administrative staff. It should be noted the Facility
Commander’s and the Compliance Unit were preparing to corrective actions for safety checks.
Title 15, Section 1272, Mattresses, requires that any mattress issued to an inmate in any facility shall be
enclosed in an easily cleaned, nonabsorbent ticking, and conform to the size of the bunk as referenced in
Title 24, Part 2, Section 1231.3.5, Beds. During our inspection we observed and verified by interviews
with staff, the use of the TheraBand Professional Floor Exercise Mat 24” x 75” being given to inmates
placed in a safety cell for suicide watch overflow and in your suicide watch cells as a mattress substitute.
When using the TheraBand Professional Floor Exercise Mat as a mattress, your agency is considered
noncompliant with Title 15 Section 1272, Mattresses, Title 24, Part 2, Section 1231.3.5 and the State Fire
Marshal on the Bureau of Home Furnishings Section, 1374 Flammability, test standard for penal
mattresses.
Facility Specific
Central Receiving Facility (CRF)
Title 15, Section 1056, Use of Sobering Cell, requires intermittent direct visual observation of inmates
held in the sobering cell shall be conducted no less than every half hour. BSCC staff reviewed the
sobering cell safety check observation logs in the presence of the Compliance Unit and the Facility
Commander dated March, April and May of 2018 at the Central Receiving Facility (CRF). We found an
issue of noncompliance with Title 15 Section 1056 on the safety checks having to be conducted no less
than every thirty minutes. Our review of the documentation disclosed numerous safety checks over the
required thirty minutes requirement at CRF during the months reviewed.

Temporary and Court Holding Facilities Title 15 Inspection
During our inspection of Temporary and Court Holding facilities, it was noted several facilities operate
under their own Policy and Procedures. We reviewed the safety checks at the various facilities and found
they were in compliance with Title 15. All of the facilities were very clean and well maintained.
Facility Specific
The following item of noncompliance was found:
Shafter and Delano Court Holding
Title 15, Section 1027, Number of Personnel, states whenever one or more female inmates are in
custody, there shall be at least one female employee who shall in like manner be immediately available
and accessible to such females. After reviewing policies and speaking with staff assigned, it was
determined Shafter Court Holding and Delano Court Holding are noncompliant with Title 15 Section 1027
and your agency’s court policies A-103 and A-104 for not having a female available for female inmates
in custody. It was communicated to us during the interview of staff, that a female staff member is not
available most days when a female inmate is placed in a court holding cell from a jail facility and male
deputies conduct a pat down in view of a recording camera on females who are remanded to custody prior
to them being placed in a holding cell. As a reminder, Penal Code 4021 states there shall be trained female
staff available for female prisoners.
Title 24 Physical Plant Inspection
The following system wide noncompliance issue was found:
Title 24 CCR 1231.2.5 and Title 15 Section 1055, Use of Safety Cell, requires those inmates who display
behavior which results in the destruction of property or reveals an intent to cause physical harm to self or
others. The intended use of the safety cell is for short term holding of inmates until housing arrangements
are made. The safety cell cannot be used as a substitution for treatment. Several observation logs we
reviewed documented inmates being placed in a safety cell on suicide watch overflow and being provided
the TheraBand Professional Floor Exercise Mat to be used as a mattress for eight or more consecutive
days. When providing a mattress in a safety cell, your agency is considered noncompliant with Title 24,
CCR 1231.2.5 where design criteria for the safety cell distinguishes this cell from holding and housing
cells and Title 15 Section 1055, Use of Safety Cell. It was also evident there was a significant reduction
of using safety cells as suicide watch overflow at the Lerdo Pre-Trial and Lerdo Med/Max facilities since
the opening of the Justice Facility in May 2018.
Facility Specific
Central Receiving Facility: Inspected on June 15, 2018, this facility is evaluated under the 1963 and
1982 Title 24, Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities and has a rated capacity of 292. On the
day of the inspection, the facility housed 144 male and 53 female inmates. Below are two Title 24
noncompliance issues documented during the inspection:
1000+ Kern Ltr 16-18
Sheriff Donny Youngblood
Kern County Sheriff’s Office
Page 5
Title 24 Section 1231.2.2, Temporary holding cell or room, shall contain seating to
accommodate all inmates. On the day of the inspection Temporary Holding cells A1-1 and A1-2
at CRF did not have benches installed and one of the cells were occupied by inmates. It was
explained by the facility staff the wood benches were removed due to deterioration, cell
refurbishment and they would be installing the new benches when they arrive. When using cells
A1-1 and A1-2 to hold inmates with no benches, you are non-compliant with Title 24
Section1231.2.2. Please notify the BSCC as soon as the benches are installed.
Title 24 Design Requirements for Suicidal Hazards is to reduce hazards posed by fixtures and
equipment which could be used for an act of suicide by an inmate. CRF is noncompliant with this
section due to Sobering Cell A2-4 having a security camera installed above the door within reach
of inmate which could be used as an attachment point for a self-inflicted injury or attempt suicide.
Lerdo Minimum Facility: Inspected on June 13, 2018, this facility is evaluated under the 1982, 2001 and
2008 Title 24, Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities. Historically, this facility has had a
rated capacity of 800 inmates with 22 dorms for male inmates. During inspection cycle 2014-2016, four
dorms dormitories (15 through 18) were demolished (32 x 4 = 128 beds) and were replaced by two 60
(120) bed dormitories (15 and 16). Therefore, the RC changed to 792 (800 – 128 + 120 = 792). On the
day of the inspection for the 2016-2018 cycle, the facility housed 115 male and 32 female inmates. During
our inspection dorms one through fourteen of the sixteen dorms were closed for plumbing maintenance
and refurbishment. Dorms fifteen and sixteen remain open for inmate laborers. There were no signs of
hard structure changes during the walk through of dorms being refurbished. Please notify us at the BSCC
when the facility refurbishment has been completed before populating dorm housing. There were no Title
24 noncompliance issues to report.
Temporary and Court Holding Facilities – Title 24 Physical Plant Inspection
Lamont Substation is classified as both a Temporary Holding and a Court Holding facility. The Kern
River Valley Substation is classified as a Temporary Holding facility. Both facilities are evaluated under
the 1988 Title 24, Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities.
During the biennial inspection cycle 2014-2016, Taft Court Holding had two Title 24 noncompliance
issues regarding audio/visual equipment for holding cells and weapon lockers. Since the last inspection,
Taft Court Holding has corrected the issues and are now in compliance from the previous inspection. At
the time of the current 2016-2018 biennial inspection, it should be noted Taft Court Holding is only open
one day a week when a judge is available to conduct court business.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring
In accordance with the JJDPA, BSCC monitors jail facilities for compliance with three of four core
requirements of the Act, Separation of Juveniles from Incarcerated Adults. Minors are not housed at these
facilities; therefore, no violations of the JJDPA were identified.
Corrective Action Plan
If you choose to address the noncompliant issues noted above, please provide your corrective plan to the
to me at BSCC for documentation in your inspection file.

After reviewing housing area log books from all the
detention facilities, the majority of the areas have
documented safety checks exceeding the minimum
requirement to be conducted hourly. We were
informed by the Compliance Unit and the facility staff
the detentions bureau is on mandatory overtime. This
was evident on the day of the inspection for the Pre-
Trial Facility (June 14, 2018). It appears the late
safety checks are during times when staff coverage is
at their lowest between the hours of 10:00 am (1000
hours) and 3:00 pm (1500 hours). This correlates with
the overtime for shift hold over for four hours and
those ordered to come in early for fours leaving the

staffing shortages between this time.
When we questioned staff about the late safety checks,
most did not know they needed to notify a supervisor
or document why the safety check was late. BD Policy
C-450 clearly articulates the duties and
responsibilities of documenting why safety check was
late and for staff to inform a supervisor. This policy
is not followed by staff. CRF routinely documents
why safety checks are late in their housing log books,
but do not notify supervisors.
After completing the inspections, we talked with
command staff from the facilities and they were in
work on sending out policy reminders for safety
checks and taking corrective action on the issues
noted.
