Lassen County, Detention Facilities (2020-2022 inspection cycle)

April 15, 2021 Dean Growdon, Sheriff Lassen County Sheriff's Department 1405 Sheriff Cady Lane Susanville, CA 96130 2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF LASSEN COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE JAIL AND COURT HOLDING FACILITY, PENAL CODE 6031 Dear Sheriff Growdon, On April 7, 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 Lassen County Jail and the Court Holding Facility. A pre-inspection briefing was held on February 25, 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). We are including the Adult Jail Physical Plant Evaluation (PHY) and Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE). Compliance is indicated by policy and 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. 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, Nutritional, and Medical/Mental Health inspections were not conducted for this inspection cycle. BSCC staff contacted your county’s Environmental Health Office and confirmed they had not conducted the jail and court holding facility inspections. Please make arrangements to have these inspections completed as soon as possible and notify your agency’s BSCC Field Representative when they have been conducted. 1305 1310 Lassen Co II CH 20-22 Sheriff Dean Growdon Lassen County Page 2 DETENTION FACILITY Fire and Life Safety Medical and Mental Health Nutritional Health Environmental Health 11/12/2019 N/A N/A N/A COURT HOLDING FACILITY Fire and Life Safety Medical and Mental Health Environmental Health 4/3/2019 N/A N/A BSCC INSPECTION The inspection consisted of a review of the Lassen County Sheriff's Department 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 your agency has four areas of noncompliance during this inspection cycle. Adult Detention Facility Section 1027. Number of Personnel Due to vacant staff positions and staff with approved long-term time off, the agency is unable to complete safety checks at various times within the hourly requirements of regulation. The agency informed BSCC staff they have had staff shortages since July 1, 2020. The agency is using supervisory staff and other county agencies to backfill jail positions. BSCC staff determined the agency is noncompliant with this regulation. Section 1027.5 Safety Checks BSCC staff determined the agency is noncompliant with this regulation due to not routinely conducting safety checks within this regulation's time requirements. There were also safety checks documented in consecutive sixty-minute time intervals. Section 1032. Fire Suppression Preplanning BSCC staff determined noncompliance with this regulation due to the agency not providing documentation for monthly fire prevention inspections conducted by staff. 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. 1305 1310 Lassen Co II CH 20-22 Sheriff Dean Growdon Lassen County Page 3 Court Holding Facility Section 1032. Fire Suppression Preplanning BSCC staff determined noncompliance with this regulation due to the agency not providing documentation for monthly fire prevention inspections conducted by staff. Please refer to the Procedures Checklist for detailed information. Title 24, CCR Physical Plant Adult Detention Facility 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 1231.2.5 Safety cell The padding was removed from the safety cell by a person placed inside. Supplies have been ordered, but delivery is delayed due to the pandemic. Noncompliance is based on the lack of a safety cell. Court Holding Facility There were no changes made to the physical plant of the facility since the last BSCC biennial inspection. We found your agency has no areas of noncompliance during this inspection cycle. 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 the Lassen County Adult Jail. Minors at the Court Holding Facility are held in a designated area separate from adults and are under the supervision of the Probation Department. Corrective Action Plan On April 15, 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 recommendations. We found 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 12, 2021; we will respond to the CAP under a separate cover letter. This concludes the 2020-2022 biennial inspection cycle report of the jail and court holding facilities. We want to express our gratitude to Captain John MCGarva and Lieutenant Amy Foster for all of their work to gather the information needed during this inspection cycle. We look forward to working with you in the future to provide technical assistance and best practices.

Due to vacant staff positions and staff with approved long-term time off, the agency is unable to complete safety checks at various times within the hourly requirements of regulation 1027.5 Safety Checks due to staff shortages. The agency informed BSCC staff they’ve had staff shortages since July 1, 2020, due to sixteen people leaving their agency and only hiring six people for their replacements. The agency also informed BSCC staff that they have started to assign supervisory staff (sergeants) to POST line staff positions to fill in for vacancies, approved long-term-time off, and meet minimum staffing levels.

Before the onsite inspection, the agency informed BSCC staff effective on April 1, 2021, the facility command staff (Captain and Lieutenant) will be added to the shift deployment schedules to meet the minimum staffing requirements for jail and assist with operations. Due to staff shortages, requesting mutual aid from other county departments to assist in jail operations, and the command staff's reassignment to a team to meet minimum staffing requirements to operate the jail, BSCC staff determined the agency is noncompliant with this regulation. It should be noted there are two state correctional facilities in the county that the agency competes with for staffing. Those who have left the agency generally leave to work for one of these two state facilities.

During the documentation review, BSCC staff noted supervisors are reviewing the logs daily. During the agency's supervisory review, the supervisors conduct unannounced visits to the housing areas and annotate safety check discrepancies in the log's notes section. The majority of the discrepancies for late safety checks logged by the facility supervisors are staff shortages, transports for persons incarcerate, and various other tasks. Staff shortages are the main noted discrepancies. After completing the documentation and policy review, BSCC staff determined that the agency is noncompliant with this regulation due to not routinely conducting safety checks within this regulation's time requirements. There were also safety checks documented in consecutive sixty- minute time intervals. During these times, the agency fails to meet the definition of "safety checks" being conducted at random intervals.
