2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF LAKE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE JAIL FACILITY,
PENAL CODE 6031
Dear Sheriff Martin,
On April 13, 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 Lake County Hill Road Jail Facility. 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). 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.
Before the onsite inspection, your agency requested BSCC evaluate three intake holding cells
and a multipurpose room currently being used for housing. At the conclusion of the evaluation,
BSCC staff determined your facility's rated capacity changed from 286 to 297. Please refer to
the Living Area Space Evaluation and the Title 24, CCR Physical Plant section of this letter for
further 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, Lt. Jason Findley

Health, and Nutritional Health for 2021.

BSCC INSPECTION
The inspection consisted of reviewing the Lake County Sheriff's Office Custody Policy and
Procedure Manual, a site visit to review operations, physical plant and relevant documentation,
and interviews with administration, facility staff, persons incarcerated, and collaborative partners.
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 three areas of
noncompliance during this inspection cycle.
§ 1027.5 Safety Checks
BSCC staff reviewed safety check documentation from July 1, 2020, through February 2,
2021. During the review, BSCC staff determined the agency is noncompliant due to safety
checks not being routinely completed with the 60-minute time-lapse of this regulation
throughout the facility.
§ 1055. Use of Safety Cell
During the documentation review for the continued retention, BSCC staff determined the
agency is noncompliant with this regulation due to sergeants not routinely documenting
retention checks every four hours.
§ 1058. Use of Restraint Devices
During the documentation review of the continued retention being reviewed at a minimum
of every hour, BSCC staff determined the agency is noncompliant with regulation. The
noncompliance is due to six out of the twelve reports not having hourly retention checks
conducted.
Please refer to the Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
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.

Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to the facility's physical plant since the last BSCC biennial
inspection. We found your agency has one area of noncompliance during this inspection cycle.
Section 1231.2.7 Double-occupancy cells
The OS cell in Pod F is 211 square feet with a rated capacity of two. On the day of
inspection, BSCC staff determined the agency is noncompliant with this regulation due to
the OS cell having three double bunks with six persons incarcerated assigned to the cell.
Before the onsite inspection, your agency requested BSCC staff evaluate two areas for housing
and adjust the facility's rated capacity. BSCC staff evaluated three intake holding cells and one
multipurpose room currently being used for housing due to facility needs. After the evaluation,
BSCC staff determined the intake holding cells meet Title 24 standard for 1231.2.6 Single-
occupancy cells, and the multipurpose room meets the Title 24 standard for 1231.2.8
Dormitories.
The three intake housing cells are rated for single occupancy per cell, and the multipurpose
room is rated for eight. The facility's rated capacity was changed from 286 to 297.
Please refer to the Physical Plant Checklist and Living Area Space Evaluation 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 the Lake County Adult Detention Facility.
Corrective Action Plan
On April 16, 2021, BSCC staff held an Exit Brief with your staff, and they were provided the Initial
Inspection Report as part of the Enhanced Inspection Process. During that briefing, BSCC staff
provided an overview of the biennial inspection and provided technical assistance and best
practices recommendations. We found four noncompliance issues during the desk audit and
onsite inspection. Your agency provided BSCC staff with a Corrective Action Plan (CAP)
addressing these issues on May 10, 2021; we will respond to the CAP under separate cover
letter.
This concludes the 2020-2022 biennial inspection cycle report of the jail facility. We want to
express our gratitude to Lieutenant Jason Findley and Commander Norm Taylor. 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 steven.wicklander@bscc.ca.gov.
