Dear Chief McDonald:

A pre-inspection briefing was held on December 5, 2017. The inspection process for each camp
included an on-site visit to view documentation and to interview staff and youth. Subsequent
conversations were held with facility administrators and partners; additional documentation was
viewed electronically prior to the end of the cycle to confirm all areas discussed were addressed.
The complete Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) inspection report is enclosed and
consists of this transmittal letter; a Title 15 Procedures Checklist, outlining applicable minimum
standards for juvenile detention facilities; a Physical Plant Evaluation, outlining applicable Title 24
Minimum Standards; and the Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE), summarizing the physical plant
configuration and detailing the rated capacity of each facility.
Please refer to the Title 15 Procedures Checklist for a summary of all relevant minimum standards,
indication of compliance or noncompliance and for detailed information regarding inspection
outcomes.

Mandatory Local Inspections
In addition to the biennial inspection, Title 15, Section 1313 and its authorizing statute also require
local inspections conducted by the following local authorities:
• county building inspector or person designated by the Board of Supervisors
• fire authority having jurisdiction
• local health officer
• county Superintendent of Schools
• Juvenile Court
• Juvenile Justice Commission.
Results of those inspections are considered part of this report. The dates of the local inspections
may be found in the accompanying Procedures Checklist by facility. There were areas reported as
non-compliant and in need of repair. Each facility provided a matrix of corrections that have been
completed; however, this list has not been confirmed by the inspecting body who noted the issue on
the inspection report and stated the areas will be reviewed at the next inspection to ensure all
corrections were made.
Scope of the BSCC Inspection
The inspection consisted of a review of policies specific to the Los Angeles County Probation Policy
and Procedure Manual, Residential Treatment Services Bureau (RTSB) [1], site visits to review the
individual camp operations and physical plant, a review of relevant documentation to determine
compliance with Title 15 and Title 24 Regulations, and an evaluation of consistency between policy,
procedure and practice. Interviews with administration, facility staff, youth and collaborative partners
were held to determine compliance with Title 15 Regulations and to review their cohesive
management of the youth in their care.
Inspection Results
Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards
We certainly appreciate the time and energy spent preparing for, organizing, and participating in the
inspection, especially given the amount of documentation requested. As part of the inspection
process, we reviewed staffing lists, schedules, programming, recreation and exercise
documentation, admission and classification documentation, incident reports, assessments/case
plans, grievances, case notes, disciplinary records and safety checks to ensure compliance with Title
15 Regulations and to ensure procedures and facility operations are consistent with agency policy.
We observed facility activities including recreation and exercise activities, the education program,
and rehabilitative programming. We observed staff who were actively engaged with the youth under
their care and were familiar with regulation and connection to policy/procedure. Interactions
appeared to be positive in nature. We interviewed youth in each of the camps, discussing regulatory
expectations and overall program and camp experience. All youth we spoke with reported mostly

their legal advisor, risk manager, and other persons deemed appropriate for such evaluation.

positive experiences, especially those living in the camps that house older youth. The older boys
reported that the younger kids act out more and negatively impact the daily program. All spoke
positively regarding the recent increase in dorm activities, such as new board and video games.
College courses and other educational programs are encouraged and all youth we spoke to were
either a graduate or had earned several missed credits through the APEX program. They reported
concern over camps closing with a lot of emphasis on Camp Smith, the sports camp closing.
Lastly, we found interesting and innovative campus programming designed to meet the needs of the
youth in each of the camps. One was the Ride a Bike program, which began as a means for kids to
deescalate; what began as one or two bikes has increased to over 20. Staff and youth routinely ride
around the campus. Challenger also has the “Men of Honor” program, which is a
mentoring/restorative justice program. One youth and one alternate, who are leaders in their camp,
participate in the Men of Honor panel along with facility staff. Youth that have minor discipline or
nonviolent major discipline write-ups can apply to be heard before the panel, who determine as a
group how to resolve the issue through responsibility and restitution. We were invited to observe a
session by the Senior Director and found the process to be very impactful to the youth participating.
We have spoken with the RTSB Bureau Chief, the Senior Director and individual facility Directors
and have made recommendations regarding enhancements to policy, consistency in operations and
documentation and training. We also suggested policy revisions to clarify Physical Restraints
pursuant to Section 1358 and the revision of the Sanctions and Appeals form in Section 1391, both
of which have been identified as a major revise that is being completed in conjunction with the
revision of the Safe Crisis Management review process. We suggest that these best practice/quality
control recommendations be considered for future cycles to ensure the facilities remain compliant.
Based on our observations, review of documentation, and conversations, it appears youth detained
in the Challenger camps receive all required activities and minimum standards are being met. There
are no areas of non-compliance. Each individual facility Director was engaged in the inspection
process, were available for questions and comment as requested and provided a coordinated and
organized response thus representing the agency in an exemplary manner. We found them to be
knowledgeable and dedicated to their camp, the staff and the youth.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to the physical plant this cycle and no items of non-compliance were
found with Title 24 Minimum Standards. We were notified of pending plans for changes to camp
showers to enhance privacy for the youth. We ask that you keep us informed as these changes are
implemented as this will impact your Living Area Space Evaluation and may impact your rated
capacity. All information for both the Physical Plant Evaluation and Living Area Space Evaluation is
listed in the accompanying documents. The rated capacity for each facility remains as follows:
7252 Camp Ellison Onizuka 110
7258 Camp Gregory Jarvis/Resnick 110

Medical services are provided through

one medical clinic that serves all camps at
the Challenger campus. Medical providers
consist of doctors, physician assistants

Hall. If a youth needs dental or optometry
services, they are transported to Central
Juvenile Hall for the day, treated and
returned to their camp later that afternoon.

(Continued) A Mental Health supervisor or the on-call
DMH Psychiatrist can be contacted after
hours and on weekends for triage and
consultation. There are also substance
abuse and case management staff who
work with the youth.
Probation and DMH work closely with one
another to ensure that issues are
communicated and addressed. If an issue
arises, youth can be seen by their
Y Y Y Y Y Y
therapist and can also be placed on an
SSP for closer watch. If a youth becomes
depressed or suicidal, they are not
automatically returned to the Juvenile Hall
as has been the case in the past. They are
assessed to determine if the youth can be
safely maintained in the camp setting, and
if so, remain in the camp with increased
supervision. Otherwise, they are
transported for treatment and returned to
the camp when safe.

have been identified to need a temporary
