Dear Sheriff Villanueva:
2018-2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION
LOS ANGELES COUNTY'S COURT HOLDING FACILITIES; PENAL CODE SECTION 6031
On September 26 and October 11, 2019, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections
(BSCC) provided pre-inspection briefings to facility supervisors outlining the proposes, process
and necessary documentation needed for the biennial inspection. Staff gave participants a
complete preview of the visit and provided a schedule of the inspections that took place in
November and December 2019. BSCC staff provided applicable checklists and answered any
questions.
BSCC conducted the 2018-2020 biennial inspection of the following Los Angeles County court
holding facilities:
Pomona Superior
C.S. Foltz Superior Court Edelman Children’s Court
Court North
East Los Angeles Superior Pomona Superior
Van Nuys Superior Court

Burbank Superior Court Bellflower Superior Court Long Beach Courthouse
These inspections were performed pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031, for compliance with
the Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities as outlined in Titles 15 and 24, California
Code of Regulations.
The complete BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of:

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 report for all the above listed facilities. The local health
inspector found the following facilities non-compliant with Title 15, Section 1280, Facility
Sanitation, Safety and Maintenance:
Airport Superior Court Inglewood Superior Court
Alhambra Superior Court Pomona Superior Court North
C.S. Foltz Superior Court Pomona Superior Court South
Compton Superior Court Van Nuys Superior Court
Edelman Children’s Superior Court
The Corrective Action Plans, developed by staff at each 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):
We have a current fire and life safety inspection for all but the following facilities:
Antelope Valley Superior Court Compton Superior Court
Bellflower Superior Court Downey Superior Court
C. S. Foltz Superior Court Inglewood Superior Court
The Corrective Action Plan is to obtain a fire inspection completed by the local fire department
for each facility and submit the completed report to the BSCC.

BSCC Inspection
Title 15 Inspection
Prior to the inspection of each of the listed facilities, we reviewed the Los Angeles Sheriff's
Department Court Services Manual, applicable sections of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department
Custody Division Manual and branch 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 were 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 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.
The following facilities did not have documentation of completing the annual security
review:
Burbank Superior Court Inglewood Superior Court
Compton Superior Court Pomona Superior Court – North
Downey Superior Court Pomona Superior Court – South
East Los Angeles Superior Court Van Nuys Superior Court
Edelman Children’s Court
In all facilities, staff were performing hourly safety checks well in compliance with Section 1027,
Number of Personnel. Please refer to each facility's Court Holding Facilities Procedures
checklist for detailed information.
Title 24 Inspection
We identified the following non-compliance issue at the Edelman Children's Court and the
Pomona Superior Court South. For facilities planned or constructed after August 1986, Title 24
regulations require that holding cells in court holding facilities be equipped with an inmate or
sound actuated audio monitoring system which is capable of alerting staff stationed in a central
control point. The Edelman Children's Court and Pomona Superior Court South do not have an
operational audio monitoring system resulting in non-compliance with this regulation. No
additional Title 24 non-compliance issues were noted.
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.

Corrective Action Plan
If an audio monitoring system is installed at the Edelman Children's Court and at the Pomona
Superior Court South, please notify us and we will remove these items from our records.
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 C.S. Foltz Superior Court, wire mesh used in the visitation area had been tampered with and
broken. In addition, the mesh exceeds the dimensions for the safe prevention of ligature points.
In discuss with facility staff, it was determined that some of the damage to visitation area and
other areas in the facility was pending repair for several months. The facility commander shut
down the area pending proper repair.
In Airport, Compton, East LA, and Pomona Superior Court’s Holding, ligature points were also
identified.
If there are any changes or corrections to those items identified above, you may 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
thank all staff for the outstanding professionalism, hospitality and courtesy extended during the
inspection. Sergeant Roman Foss and the entire Court Services Division staff were especially
helpful throughout this process. If you should have any questions, please contact me at (916)
