Dear Sheriff Youngblood:
2018-2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF KERN COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE JAILS AND COURT
HOLDING FACILITIES, PENAL CODE 6031
Between September 30, 2019 and October 11, 2019, Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) staff
conducted the 2018-2020 biennial inspection of the Kern County Detention, Temporary and Court Holding
Facilities.
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 facility. Each of the local inspections
were current with the exception of the Fire Inspection for the Pre-Trial Facility. The local fire authority noted
deficiencies for the Pre-Trial Facility during the facility’s biennial fire inspection. The Compliance Unit will be
working with the local fire authority to address and correct the deficiencies noted. The Compliance Unit will provide
the BSCC with the documentation of the corrections, when completed.

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:
Detention Facilities
Justice and Pre-Trial Detention Facilities
Title 15, Section 1057 Use of Restraints
During the review of documentation, it was determined the agency is noncompliant with this regulation due
to not routinely documenting hourly continued retention when inmates are placed in a restraint system.
Justice Facility
Title 15, Section 1065 Exercise and Recreation
During the review of documentation and interviews with the inmate’s in separation housing regarding
access to the recreational yard, BSCC staff determined the agency is noncompliant with this regulation due
to lack of documented exercise offering times, refusal notations and no follow up for additional times.
Central Receiving Facility
Title 15, Section 1056 Use of Sobering Cell
BSCC staff reviewed several months of sobering cell safety check documentation during this 2018/2020
inspection cycle. The documentation provided disclosed the agency is noncompliant with this regulation
due to staff not routinely completing safety checks within the required 30-minute time frame between
checks.
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.

Court and Temporary Holding Facilities

Title 15, Section 1027 Number of Personnel
When holding female inmates for court, these facilities do not have a female employee who is immediately
available and accessible to such female inmates.
Justice Court Holding, Shafter Court Holding, Taft Court Holding and Kern River Valley Substation
Title 15, Section 1032 Fire Suppression Preplanning
The facilities were found noncompliant with this regulation due to not having two years of records
indicating monthly fire inspections were completed by staff.
In the 2016/18 biennial inspection cycle, your agency was noncompliant with Title 1272, Mattresses because of the
use of the “TheraBand Professional Floor Exercise Mat” for suicide watch inmates. After being assigned to the
Detentions Bureau in July of 2019, Commander Morrison reached out to BSCC staff for Technical Assistance and
a meeting to discuss the use of “TheraBand Professional Floor Exercise Mat” and to conduct a tour of the facilities
to prepare for the biennial inspection. On August 26, 2019 BSCC staff met with Commander Morrison and the
lieutenants in charge of the detention facilities. After our discussion and during the tour, Commander Morrison
ordered his staff to remove all yoga mats from the facilities and replace them with safety blankets. During the
2018/20 biennial inspection, there were no yoga mats being used or observed in any of your jails, thus making you
compliant for this inspection cycle. BSCC staff will conduct a follow up inspection for continued compliance with
this regulation in April or May of 2020.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There was only one change made to the physical plant of the Pre-Trial Detention Facility since the last BSCC
biennial inspection. The rated capacity of H Pod changed from 192 to 184 due to converting cells 106, 108, 110
and 112 from a two-person cell to a nonrated Observation cell in the AES (Admission, Evaluation, and Stabilization)
Center (H Pod). With changes made to the AES H Pod, the BSCC rated capacity of the Pre-Trial Detention Facility
changed from 1,344 to 1,336.
No changes were made to the physical plant of any other facilities during this rating cycle.
The Lerdo Minimum Facility was not occupied during this inspection cycle.
Please refer to the Physical Plant Checklist for detailed information.
Exit Brief
BSCC staff provided an Exit Brief with your supervising staff on October 11, 2019 to discuss the findings of your
biennial inspection. During the brief, BSCC staff provided technical assistance by explaining the importance of
conducting an annual ligature review of all areas accessible to inmates and developing a maintenance plan on how
to fix or correct areas or fixtures that may be used as ligature points by inmates.

Safety checks shall be conducted at least hourly through DB A-1050 Jail Log Books
direct visual observation of all inmates. There shall be no LPT D-232 Security Checks
more than a 60-minute lapse between safety checks.
During the 2016/2018 BSCC Biennial
Inspection Cycle, the agency was found
noncompliant for completing the hourly safety
checks within the required 60-minutes between
checks. The agency took several steps to correct
the noncompliance by changing how they
document safety checks in their logbooks.
During 2018/2020 inspection cycle BSCC staff
reviewed documentation and the new procedures
implemented by the agency to improve safety
checks. During the review of the documentation
from July 1, 2018 through September 30, 2019
safety checks improved, but not to the level of
compliance until late July of 2019 when new
command staff, Commander J. Morrison, was
assigned to the Detentions Bureau. After being
assigned, Commander Morrison reached out to
☒ ☐ ☐ BSCC staff for Technical Assistance and an
understanding of the biennial inspection process
prior to the agency’s Pre-Inspection Brief. After
the meeting, Commander Morrison incorporated
a new policy and procedure requiring daily and
weekly log reviews by the facility shift
supervisors and the facility commander for all
detention facilities. The new procedure requires
shift supervisors and the facility commander to
make logbook entries in different colored ink to
verify safety checks are being completed with
the required time frame. Commander Morrison
then reviews the logbooks and makes an entry in
colored ink to verify the new policy and
procedure is being done by his staff.
After developing and implementing Commander
Morrison’s new process, the agency is now in
compliance with this regulation. Due to only
being compliant from late July to early October
of 2019, BSCC staff informed the agency they
will have a follow up inspection for continued
compliance with this regulation in April or May
of 2020.

During the 2016/2018 BSCC Biennial
Inspection Cycle, the agency was found
noncompliant for completing the hourly safety
checks within the required 60-minutes between
checks. The agency took several steps to correct
the noncompliance by changing how they
document safety checks in their logbooks.
During 2018/2020 inspection cycle BSCC staff
reviewed documentation and the new procedures
implemented by the agency to improve safety
checks. During the review of the documentation
from July 1, 2018 through September 30, 2019
safety checks improved, but not to the level of
compliance until late July of 2019 when new
command staff, Commander J. Morrison, was
assigned to the Detentions Bureau. After being
assigned, Commander Morrison reached out to
☒ ☐ ☐
BSCC staff for Technical Assistance and an
understanding of the biennial inspection process
prior to the agency’s Pre-Inspection Brief. After
the meeting, Commander Morrison incorporated
a new policy and procedure requiring daily and
weekly log reviews by the facility shift
supervisors and the facility commander for all
detention facilities. The new procedure requires
shift supervisors and the facility commander to
make logbook entries in different colored ink to
verify safety checks are being completed with
the required time frame. Commander Morrison
then reviews the logbooks and makes an entry in
colored ink to verify the new policy and
procedure is being done by his staff.
After developing and implementing Commander
Morrison’s new process, the agency is now in
compliance with this regulation. Due to only
being compliant from late July to early October
of 2019, BSCC staff informed the agency they
will have a follow up inspection for continued
compliance with this regulation in April or May
of 2020.

direct visual observation of all inmates. There shall be no
more than a 60-minute lapse between safety checks.
During the 2016/2018 BSCC Biennial
Inspection Cycle, the agency was found
noncompliant for completing the hourly safety
checks within the required 60-minutes between
checks. The agency took several steps to correct
the noncompliance by changing how they
document safety checks in their logbooks.
During 2018/2020 inspection cycle BSCC staff
reviewed documentation and the new procedures
implemented by the agency to improve safety
checks. During the review of the documentation
from July 1, 2018 through September 30, 2019
safety checks improved, but not to the level of
compliance until late July of 2019 when new
command staff, Commander J. Morrison, was
assigned to the Detentions Bureau. After being
assigned, Commander Morrison reached out to
BSCC staff for Technical Assistance and an
☒ ☐ ☐
understanding of the biennial inspection process
prior to the agency’s Pre-Inspection Brief. After
the meeting, Commander Morrison incorporated
a new policy and procedure requiring daily and
weekly log reviews by the facility shift
supervisors and the facility commander for all
detention facilities. The new procedure requires
shift supervisors and the facility commander to
make logbook entries in different colored ink to
verify safety checks are being completed with
the required time frame. Commander Morrison
then reviews the logbooks and makes an entry in
colored ink to verify the new policy and
procedure is being done by his staff.
After developing and implementing Commander
Morrison’s new process, the agency is now in
compliance with this regulation. Due to only
being compliant from late July to early October
of 2019, BSCC staff informed the agency they
will have a follow up inspection for continued
compliance with this regulation in April or May
of 2020.
