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.
We encourage the practice of maintaining a permanent file for historical copies of all inspections.
This file should be the first point of reference when preparing for all future inspections.
Health Inspections
We have a current health inspection reports for all the above listed facilities. The local health
inspector found the Avalon Station non-compliant with Title 15, Section 1207, Medical Receiving
Screening, Section 1211, Sick Call, and Section 1240, Frequency of Meal Servings.
Century Patrol Station, Type I Jail’s health inspection was included with the Century Regional
Detention Facility. Issues that are non-compliant were largely related to the Type II facility.
The Corrective Action Plans, developed by staff at the facility, described how the non-
compliance issues will be remedied. The County Health Inspector will verify that the above
issues have been addressed when they perform their next inspection in 2020.
Fire and Life Safety Inspections, CCR 15, 1032(c):
BSCC Staff was able to review current fire and life safety inspection for all the above facilities.
BSCC Inspection
Title 15 Inspection
Prior to the inspection of each of the listed facilities, we reviewed the Los Angeles Sheriff's
Department Station Jail Manual, applicable sections of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department
Custody Division Manual, and station specific policies. Our audit consisted of a review of only
those policies and procedures related specifically to the applicable regulations included in Title
15, Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities.1 Although there were no issues of non-
compliance identified in our review of the policy and procedures manuals, our review of pertinent
documentation in each of the above facilities found the following noncompliance issues:
(cid:120) Title 15, Section 1027.5, Safety Checks:
Safety checks shall be conducted at least hourly through direct visual observation of
all inmates. There shall be no more than a 60-minute lapse between safety checks.
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.

At the Century Station, some checks did not appear in records and could not be
confirmed that they were completed.
(cid:120) Title 15, Section 1029, Policy and Procedures Manual:
Section (a)(6) Each facility administrator shall, at least annually, review, evaluate, and
make a record of security measures. The review and evaluation shall include internal
and external security measures of the facility including security measures specific to
prevention of sexual abuse and sexual harassment.
East Los Angeles, South Los Angeles, Avalon, and Marina Del Rey facilities did not
have documentation of completing the annual security review.
(cid:120) Title 15, Section 1056, Use of Sobering Cell:
Intermittent direct visual observation of inmates held in the sobering cell shall be
conducted no less than every half hour. Such observation shall be documented.
In the Century Station, BSCC Staff reviewed random sobering cell checks sheets. In
all cases, there were checks beyond 30-minute requirements.
(cid:120) Title 15, Section 1058, Use of Restraint Devices:
Inmates shall be placed in restraints only with the approval of the facility manager, the
facility watch commander, responsible health care staff; continued retention shall be
reviewed a minimum of every hour. Additionally, Direct visual observation shall be
conducted at least twice every thirty minutes to ensure that the restraints are properly
employed, and to ensure the safety and well-being of the inmate. Such observation
shall be documented.
In the Century Station, BSCC Staff requested records for use of restraints in the Type
1 Facility. The one incident of an inmate held in the WRAP. A supervisor was present
during placement of restraint, but no records of ongoing checks were retained.
(cid:120) Title 15, Section 1147, Supervision of Minors in Secure Custody Inside a Locked
Enclosure:
Minors shall receive adequate supervision which, at a minimum, includes:
(2) safety checks, as defined in Section 1006, of the minor by staff of the law
enforcement facility, at least once every 30 minutes, which shall be documented.
At the South Los Angeles Station Jail, BSCC Staff review secure detention logs for
2019 and entries for two secure minors were incomplete and did not clearly show
checks. Observations were not documented on the logs.
(cid:120) Title 15, Section 1148, Supervision of Minors in Secure Custody Outside a Locked
Enclosure:

Minors held in secure custody outside of a locked enclosure shall not be secured to a
stationary object for more than 60 minutes unless no other locked enclosure is available.
At the East Los Angeles Station Jail, BSCC Staff reviewed the Secure Minors in
Custody Log for 2019. There were four secure minors held outside the lockup. The
checks were found to have not been completed in accordance with this section and
therefore, non-compliant.
Los Angeles Sheriff Department Station Manual require every inmate be checked every 30
minutes, and in most cases, checks are being completed accordingly. Please refer to
each facility's Type I Facilities Procedures checklist for detailed information.
Title 24 Inspection
There were no issues of Title 24 non-compliance identified in the above listed facilities.
All facilities were clean and well maintained.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) Compliance Monitoring
In accordance with the JJDPA, BSCC monitors law enforcement facilities for compliance with
three core requirements of the Act: Deinstitutionalization of Status Offenders, Separation of
Juveniles from Incarcerated Adults, and Removal from Adult Jails and Lockups (6-hour secure
detention limitation). We identified the following violations of the JJDPA:
(cid:120) 34 US § 11133(a)(11) Deinstitutionalization of Status Offenders
Status offenders, non-offenders, alien, and civil-type minors are not to be held in secure
detention.
In the East Los Angeles Station Jail, one minor being held for a status offense was held
in secure detention.
(cid:120) 34 US § 11133(a)(13) Jail Removal
Minors are securely detained for a period not to exceed six hours.
In the Century Station, one minor was held in secure detection over the six hours in
December 2019. No reason was documented.
Technical Assistance
At the conclusion of each inspection, BSCC staff offered an out brief of findings to facility
management. This included an immediate review of the inspection and any non-compliance
issues. It also included potential courses of action in correcting those non-compliance issues.
Finally, the out brief provided managers with a technical assistance in identifying hazards that
may exist in the facility.
In the Avalon, South Los Angeles, and Marina Del Rey Stations ligature points were identified.

In the Century Patrol Station, there was a minor held in secure custody in the facility for over six
hours outside secure lockup. Additionally, for the minors held in secure detention, there was no
documentation that the minors had been advised of secure status in accordance with WIC §
207.1(d)(1)(C). Finally, the Secure and Non-Secure Logs were not completed.
BSCC Staff provided training information to the Station Watch Commander to correct this issue.
Corrective Action Plans
If there are any changes or corrections to those items identified above, submit your corrective
actions to the BSCC for inclusion with this report.
This concludes our inspection report for the 2018-2020 inspection cycle. While we would like to

During the 2014/2016 inspection cycle 1301, 1302, 1303, 1304, 1401, 1402, and 1403 were returned to CRDF
and will be counted as part of that facility. 2016 (BC and CA)
2018-2020 Inspection Cycle: J1 had the lock removed for non-secure detention of minors. J2 was being used for
a storage room. J3-J9 were all still functional cells but were being used for training of CRDF personnel,
specifically cell extraction training.
Historical Notes: Effective March 25, 2006 the Century Regional Detention Facility started housing female inmates, therefore
the facility is now operated as a female facility. The Type I booking center services all female intake and select substation
intake for males who are then transported to male facilities.
Effective June 2002, when the Biscailuz Recovery Center closed, CRDF operations were also curtailed due to budget
constraints. Only the Movement Center and Housing Units 3100, 3200, 3300 and 3400 remained operational to house the
former Biscailuz program inmates. We maintained the rated capacity of 1588 for the entire facility, acknowledging the
Department’s intent to fully reopen the facility.
At the 1998-2000 inspection the Century Type I Booking Center was separated from the Century Regional Detention Facility
(Type II). This was done because juveniles are brought into the Type I Booking area for photograph and printing, prior to
being held in non-secure detention in the nearby Century Patrol Station Jail. Other than minors adjudicated for adult court
under 707.1, WIC 207.1 prohibits minors from entering a Type II jail for any reason. If statute is modified in the future,
consideration should be given to recombining the facilities to simplify the inspection process and paperwork. Separating the
facilities has no known impact on operations. The Century Type I Booking Center is under the Custody Division command
structure, while the Century Station Jail is within the Patrol Division.
Prior to separating the Type I Booking Center from the Type II operation, the Board Rated Capacity (BRC) was 1,642. 80 beds
were deducted for Modules 1201, 1202, 1203 and 1204 and associated with the Type I area. In addition, Unit 1604 was
converted from non-rated discipline beds to housing and Dorms 1701 and 1702 were raised from 60 and 62 beds respectively,
to 64 beds each. These changes added a total of 26 beds for a BRC of 1,588 beds in the Type II operation of CRDF and 80
beds in the CRDF Type I Booking Center, for a total of 1,668 in the "complex."
The 1999 Division bed count was 2,078 beds in the facility complex, including 92 beds in the Type I Booking Center and 1,986
in the Type II facility. We maintained that bed count through the 2005 inspection.
During the 2014/2016 Inspection Cycle, BSCC Staff concluded that due to the current usage of this “facility” that it should
revert its operations back to Century Regional Detention Facility. This inspection cycle will be the last that this part of CRDF
is inspected separately and will be merged into CRDF Immediately and will be inspected as part of CRDF next inspection
cycle. 2016 (BC and CA)
During the 2018-2020 Inspection Cycle, BSCC Staff was assigned to separate the Type 1 facility inspection form the
Type II facility inspection.
