Kings County (2020-2022 inspection cycle)

August 4, 2021 Kelly Vernon, Chief Probation Officer Kings County Probation Department 1424 Forum Drive Hanford, California 93230 KINGS COUNTY JUVENILE CENTER – JUVENILE HALL AND CAMP PROGRAM BSCC # 7162 AND 7163 2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION PURSUANT TO WIC 209 and 885 Dear Chief Vernon: On July 12-15, 2021, pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code sections 209 and 885, BSCC staff completed the 2020-2022 Biennial Inspection of the Kings County Juvenile Center and Camp. To prepare for this inspection, a pre‐inspection briefing was held on May 18, 2021. 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. 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. BSCC worked with Deputy Chief Dan Luttrell and Probation Manager Aderian Reed, as well as their staff and collaborative partners. Your administrators facilitated a coordinated and organized process to complete all elements of the inspection process, representing the facility and their respective agencies in an exemplary manner. We appreciate the time and energy spent preparing for and participating in the inspection, especially given the amount of documentation requested. We reviewed your Policy and Procedures Manual1; all Local Inspections; annual reviews of Security and Emergency practices; and, documents and forms used by the agency. Our review of documentation was intended to ensure compliance with regulation and policy. The BSCC inspection report consists of this transmittal letter; the attached Title 15 Procedures checklist, the Title 24 Physical Plant Checklist (PHY) and Living Area Space Evaluation, documenting the physical space in the facilities. Please refer to the Title 15 and 24 Procedures Checklist for a summary of all relevant minimum standards, indication of compliance, and information used to determine compliance. 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. 7162 7163 Kings JH Camp LTR 20-22 Chief Vernon Kings P. 2 Mandatory Local Inspections In addition to the biennial inspection, Title 15, Section 1313 and its authorizing statute require local inspections conducted by the following authorities: County Building Inspection by agency designated by the Board of Supervisors; Fire Authority having jurisdiction; Local Health Officer; County Superintendent of Schools; Juvenile Court; and, Juvenile Justice Commission. Results of these inspections are considered as part of this report. The dates of the local inspections may be found in the Title 15 Procedures Checklist. Inspection Results Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards Operations The inspection process includes substantial reviews of incident reports, grievances, admission and classification reports, case plans and counseling notes, and disciplinary reports and findings to ensure compliance with Title 15 Regulations and to ensure procedures and process are consistent with your policies. We found operations remain consistent and compliant, and there are no policy related concerns in either program. Your administrators have implemented many levels of oversight this cycle, allowing for reports and documentation to be reviewed with an objective eye for inconsistencies. The agency places a great deal of emphasis on managing high risk incidents and youth behavior, and this oversight ensures staff are completing responsibilities as expected by your agency and T15 requirements. This was evident in our review of use of force, use of restraints, discipline due process and grievances reports. The factual narratives, clarity in timelines and subsequent youth involvement in the process was inclusive of all required elements. This process allows for a succinct and thorough evaluation of facility operations and revealed youth supervision expectations are compliant with regulation. Although your population has decreased, so have your staffing levels. This has resulted in staff coverage issues; however, your officers continue to facilitate programming in the midst of mandatory overtime. The documentation reviewed and conversations with youth revealed an involved, caring and genuine approach by staff to work with youth. We found the processes fair and youth articulated staff helped them realize a middle ground as it related to sanctions and re-direction. While on-site, the agency provided updates to required forms including Due Process, Orientation acknowledgements and Case Plans to ensure youth understand expectations. Forms also included clear prompts for staff signatures, dates, and times of incidents. We reviewed facility schedules and found the units operate a full and complete program of structured and unstructured activities. Education The Kings County Office of Education operates the J. C. Montgomery School for both programs. We reviewed the Education Evaluation conducted in 2020 and 2021, noting no issues relating to the requirements in Title 15 or the Education Code. Our review of processes, pre and post COVID 19, 7162 7163 Kings JH Camp 20-22 Chief Vernon Kings P. 3 demonstrated an integrated approach to educating youth during the pandemic. Your county was one of the first to return to on-site learning and other than a brief period in January 2021, you have been in the classroom since July 2020. The site principal was successful early on in finding the best approach to teach youth. School and Probation Administrators provided youth continued opportunities to receive traditional educational and post-secondary learning environments in the most difficult situation. Your Principal, Mrs. Norris, is very engaged with youth and has secured a grant to further the minds of your youth in the area of the Arts. We look forward to seeing this evolving approach to learning in the months to come. Programming The Juvenile Center houses pre-and post- adjudicated youth resulting in short term incarceration while the Camp Program offers long-term programing for your male population. Each facility provides an array of services to meet the youth’s individual needs, based on their case plans and independent objectives. The structured programs and unstructured recreation activities are facilitated mostly by probation staff. It is the hope that outside volunteers will soon return to assist with the numerous programming options available to youth and that the increase in Wellpath services promotes more structured behavior health services. Kings has a comprehensive Assessment Plan process which is responsive to youth needs and completed by a Probation Officer on-site. The case chronos by facility staff provide current information for the institutional case plan process, targeting youth needs while in custody in preparation for release. We reviewed numerous Case Plans for youth at each facility and found them individualized and coordinated to effect needed change. The youth in each facility participate in programs to address the behaviors identified at admission to target identified risks and needs. This process has been hindered due to the pandemic and the lack of volunteer agencies in the community. Mental health services are provided; however, the juvenile facility only has 13 hours of contracted time each week. There are two clinicians responsible for your youth population and the 600+ inmates at the Kings County Jail next door. While the county has added 7 hours to assist in facilitating groups and to provide individual counseling, we recommend you work with your provider to establish a schedule that better meets the needs of your youth population. Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards The agency has worked diligently to provide policies and procedures compliant with regulation. The most important aspect of these changes is the need for complete and inclusive documentation, revealing a transparent system of oversight of your operations. Your integration of policy to practice is consistent and improved since our last on-site visit in 2018. The approach to audit and review by supervisors and administrators is not just practical for ensuring compliance but offers teaching and learning moments for staff and youth. The attached Procedures Checklist provides a detailed overview of the inspection findings. Upon final review of all documentation, there are no outstanding items of noncompliance at the Kings County Juvenile Center and Camp. No corrective action is required. 7162 7163 Kings JH Camp 20-22 Chief Vernon Kings P. 4 Title 24, CCR Physical Plant There have been no changes to the physical plant since our last on-site inspection. We have just been alerted the new Juvenile Center has been given the Notice to Proceed as it relates to the SB 81, Round 2 process. This new facility will offer youth better programming and recreation space, individual living space and a collaborative dorm for camp youth. We look forward to working with you on this project moving into construction. Training The most recent Standards and Training for Corrections audit reports that the Kings County Probation Department is compliant with all relevant regulations and mandates. Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring There have been no violations of JJDPA this inspection cycle and no areas of non-compliance were noted. We are pleased with all operational aspects of the Kings County Juvenile Center and Camp. We would again like to thank you and compliment your staff for their dedication, thoroughness and responsiveness during the inspection. This concludes our 2020-2022 inspection report. We are available to assist as needed and are always happy to provide technical assistance when requested. We look forward to continuing to work together.
