June 30, 2021 Donny Youngblood, Sheriff-Coroner Kern County Sheriff's Office 1350 Norris Road Bakersfield, CA 93308 2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF KERN COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE JAILS AND TEMPORARY/COURT HOLDING FACILITIES, PENAL CODE 6031 Dear Sheriff Youngblood: On April 18th – 20th and June 2nd – 3rd of 2021, pursuant to Penal Code section 6031.1 and Welfare and Institutions Code Sections 209 and 885, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted the 2020-2022 biennial inspection of the following Kern County Jails and Temporary/Court Holding Facilities. Jails Temporary/Court Holding • Justice Facility • Justice Court Holding • Central Receiving Facility • Delano Court Holding • Max/Med Facility • Taft Court Holding • Pre-Trial Facility • Ridgecrest Court Holding • Minimum Facility • Kern River Valley Substation • Mojave Substation • Shafter Court Holding • Arvin Lamont Court Holding • Arvin Lamont Substation A pre-inspection briefing was held on February 18, 2021, to discuss the biennial inspection requirements. 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 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 of juveniles from incarcerated adults. The BSCC inspection report consists of this transmittal letter and the attached Title 15 Procedures Checklist (PRO), Adult Jail Physical Plant Evaluation (PHY), and Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE) for each facility. Compliance is indicated by policy or documentation review. Please refer to the Title 15 PRO for a summary of all relevant minimum standards, an indication of compliance or noncompliance, and information used to determine compliance. 1000+ Kern Co I TH, II, CH LTR 20-22 1 Facilities are assessed against Title 24 requirements in place at the time of design or significant remodel to the jail area. Sheriff-Coroner Donny Youngblood Kern County Page 2 During the onsite inspection, your agency informed BSCC staff that the Maximum/Medium Facility and the Minimum Facility were not occupied during this inspection cycle. BSCC staff also did not physically inspect Pre-Trial Housing modules D3, D4, and E4 due to Coivd restrictions. These areas will be reviewed during future site visits. Please refer to the Procedures Checklist for detailed information. 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. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the county's Environmental and Medical/Mental Health inspections were not conducted during 2020. Prior to completing this report, Sergeant Alex Garcia provided BSCC staff the local inspection reports for Medical/Mental Health, Environmental Health, and Nutritional Health for 2021.

These two types of classifications (suicide watch and administrative separation) are more prone to have medical and mental health issues and may use the bars or other fixtures for ligature points between safety checks conducted by staff. It is suggested these high-risk persons housed at one of the Lerdo facilities are equipped to handle long-term care and housing needs for these two types of classification. BSCC staff does understand this housing is a necessity due to your pandemic guidelines and policies. Title 15, CCR Inspection Our evaluation consisted of reviewing only those policies and procedures related specifically to the applicable regulations included in Title 15, CCR.1 We identified one area of noncompliance during this inspection cycle for Ridgecrest CH, Shafter CH, and Kern River Valley Substation TH: § 1027. Number of Personnel During the onsite inspection, BSCC staff determined the three facilities listed do not have female staff immediately and readily available when female incarcerated persons are held at the facilities. Please refer to the Procedures Checklist for detailed information. Title 24, CCR Physical Plant Detention Facilities There were no changes made to any facility's physical plant since the last BSCC biennial inspection. We found no areas of noncompliance at the detention facilities during the onsite inspection. Although Title 24 regulation requirements regarding ligature were not adopted until after CRF and Pre-Trial facilities were constructed, BSCC staff did provide technical assistance during the Exit Brief regarding CRF and Pre-Trial facilities on ligature issues. Court Holding Facilities There were no changes made to the physical plant of any Temporary/Court holding facilities since the last BSCC biennial inspection. We found no areas of noncompliance at the Temporary/Court holding facilities, and although regulation requirements regarding ligature were not adopted until after CRF and Pre-Trial 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. 1000+ Kern Co I TH, II, CH LTR 20-22 Sheriff-Coroner Donny Youngblood Kern County Page 4 facilities were constructed, BSCC staff did provide technical assistance during the Exit Brief regarding CRF and Pre-Trial facilities ligature issues. Please refer to the Physical Plant Checklist for detailed information. 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 Kern County Jails or Temporary/Court Holding Facilities and have designated areas separate from adults at the Temporary/Court Holding Facilities. Corrective Action Plan On June 8, 2021, BSCC staff held an Exit Briefing with your staff. During that briefing, BSCC staff provided an overview of the biennial inspection and provided technical assistance and best practices. We found one noncompliance issue during the onsite inspection requiring your agency to provide the BSCC with a Corrective Action Plan (CAP). Your agency provided BSCC staff a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) addressing these issues on June 29, 2021; we will respond to the CAP under separate cover. This concludes the 2020-2022 biennial inspection cycle report of the jails, court holding, and substation facilities. We want to express our gratitude to Chief James Morrison, Lieutenant Ian Silva, and Sergeant Alex Garcia. We look forward to working with you in the future to provide technical assistance and best practices. If you should have any questions, please contact me at email at steven.wicklander@bscc.ca.gov.
