Dear Sheriff Growdon:
2018-2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF LASSEN COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE JAIL AND COURT
HOLDING FACILITY, PENAL CODE 6031
On September 17, 2019, the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted the 2018-2020 biennial
inspection of the Lassen County Adult Detention Facility and Court Holding Facility.
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 in the Adult Detention Facility. The Court Holding Facility could not provide documentation for local
inspection reports for Environmental Health and Medical/Mental Health. Sgt. Foster stated she would advise the
BSCC when the reports were located or when the inspection have been completed.

BSCC INSPECTION
The inspection consisted of a review of the Lassen 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, inmates 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 found the following items of noncompliance at the Adult Detention
Facility;
Title 15, Section 1027.5 Safety Checks:
During the review of several months of documentation, BSCC staff determined the agency is noncompliant
for not routinely completing safety checks within the required 60-minutes between checks.
Title 15, Section 1032 Fire Suppression Preplanning Section (b):
The agency is noncompliant with monthly fire prevention inspections due to only being able to provide
BSSC staff with documentation for the months of June, July and August of 2019.
Please refer to the Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to the physical plant of any facility since the last BSCC biennial inspection. We found
one area of noncompliance at the Adult Detention Facility;
Title 24, Section 1231.2.5, Safety Cell:
Safety cells are required to be no smaller than 48 square feet. The safety cell in this facility measures less
than 47 square feet resulting in noncompliance with this regulation.
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 in or brought to
the Lassen County Adult Detention Facility and Court Holding Facility.
Corrective Action Plan
If you choose to address the noncompliance issues noted, please provide a corrective action plan so we may update
our files.
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.
