2018-2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT
TYPE II FACILITIES, PENAL CODE 6031
Dear Sheriff Villanueva:
Between January 2, 2020 and June 30, 2020, pursuant to Penal Code section 6031.1/Welfare
and Institutions Code sections 209 and 885, BSCC staff completed the 2018/2020 Biennial
Inspection of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Detention Facilities via a desk audit.
To prepare for this inspection, BSCC staff conducted a pre-inspection brief on 12/10/2019 with
your CSSB-Inspections Team to discuss the requirements of the biennial inspection.
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. 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 requirements of juveniles from incarcerated adults.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic and the issuance of statewide and local shelter-in-place
orders, BSCC staff were prohibited from traveling and unable to complete on-site inspections
from March 16 through June 30, 2020, the end of the 2018/2020 biennial inspection cycle. BSCC
staff conducted virtual inspections via desk audit of all facilities originally scheduled for
inspection during this time. Desk audits are comprised of a comprehensive review of all
applicable policies and procedures and documentation your agency provided. BSCC staff intend
to conduct comprehensive on-site inspections of all local detention facilities as soon as travel
restrictions are lifted.
The BSCC inspection report consists of this transmittal letter and the attached Title 15
Procedures checklist. (We are including the PHY and LASE from your 2016/2018 inspection
cycle for your information only). The PHY and LASE will be inspected and updated during our
next onsite inspection. Compliance is indicated by policy and/or documentation review. Please
refer to the Title 15 Procedures Checklist (PRO) for a summary of all relevant minimum
standards, 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 facility. Each of the local inspections were current for the
Detention Facilities. Pitchess Detention Center East (Fire Camp) utilizes the Medical and Mental
staff at the Pitchess Detention Center South Clinic for routine procedures and does not require
a Medical/Mental Health inspection. Please work with your local inspectors to correct the issues
noted in their inspection reports. All reports were provided to the Custody Support Services
Bureau.

BSCC INSPECTION
Title 15, CCR Inspection
The inspection consisted of a review of policies and procedures related specifically to applicable
Title 15, CCR sections1, a site visit to review operations, physical plant and relevant
documentation, and interviews with administration, facility staff, inmates, and collaborative
partners.
The following items of noncompliance with Title 15, CCR were identified; please refer to the
Procedures Checklist for detailed information and technical assistance:
1 BSCC reviews only those policy and procedures required by, and applicable to, Title 15, CCR. BSCC staff do not

DETENTION FACILITIES
System Wide
Title 15, Section 1058 Use of Restraint Devices
Even though the documentation provided showed the safety chair being used for the safe
transportation of inmates by either court order or per the agency’s policy CDM 7-
03/040.00 for inmates who have been identified as violent, self-destructive, or a high
security risk, the agency is noncompliant with several sections of this regulation. The
noncompliance is based on the regulation not delineating the use of restraint devices
between safe transportation and/or being used to restrain an inmate who displays
behavior which results in the destruction of property or reveal an intent to cause physical
harm to self or others. When the safety chair is used, which is a restraint device, all
sections of this regulation are reviewed for compliance.
CDM 7-03/040.00 Safety Chair policy is out of date with the following sections;
• provision for hydration and sanitation needs
• exercising of extremities
• 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.
• A medical opinion on placement and retention shall be secured within one hour
from the time of placement.
• If the facility manager, or designee, in consultation with responsible health care
staff determines that an inmate cannot be safely removed from restraints after
eight hours, the inmate shall be taken to a medical facility for further evaluation.
Title 15, Section 1069 Inmate Orientation
During the review of the “A Guide Through Custody-Los Angeles County Jail” that is given
to new inmates at the Inmate Reception Center (IRC) and Century Regional Detention
Facility (CRDF), BSCC staff determined the guide to be out of date and noncompliant
with the following sections of this regulation;
• (1) correspondence, visiting, and telephone usage rules;
• (3) inmate grievance procedures;
• (7) court appearance where scheduled, if known;
• (8) voting, including registration;
• (9) zero tolerance policy against sexual abuse and sexual harassment.
Please note that Technical assistance and best practices will be provided to your Custody
Support Services Bureau inspection team and the policy unit to assist with correcting the system
wide noncompliance with these regulations. Please refer to the Procedures Checklist (PRO) for
further information.

CRDF
Title 15, Section 1029 Policy and Procedures Manual; Each facility administrator
shall, at least annually, review, evaluate, and make a record of security measures.
BSCC staff determined CRDF is noncompliant with the regulation section for not
completing an annual internal or external security measure review within the required time
frame of one year.
NCCF
Title 15, Section 1065 Exercise and Recreation
BSCC staff reviewed documentation of exercise logs monthly audits for 2019, four months
of 2020, schedules and policies. During the review of documentation, BSCC staff
determined NCCF to be noncompliant with this regulation for Building 900. Specifically,
areas 921, 922, 923, 926 and 927. The monthly facility audits conducted by NCCF staff
routinely document these areas not receiving their minimum of three hours of exercise
distributed over a period of seven days.
During the review of the recreational yard schedules, BSCC staff determined NCCF is
noncompliant for only offering one 3-hour time slot for each housing area one day a week.
The schedule does not meet the requirement of this regulation for three hours of exercise
distributed over a period of seven days. No inmates were interviewed to affirm the
agency’s documentation.
PDC East
Title 15, Section 1029 Policy and Procedures Manual
PDC East Unit Orders are noncompliant with this regulation due to not being
comprehensively reviewed and updated at least every two years. The dates on the unit
orders vary from throughout the beginning of 2017 exceeding the two-year requirement
of this regulation.
Title 15, Section 1069 Inmate Orientation
The agency is noncompliant with this section of the regulation due to not informing the
inmate of the agency’s zero tolerance policy against sexual abuse and sexual harassment
in the “A Guide Through Custody-Los Angeles County Jail” that is given to inmates during
the booking process.
TTCF
Title 15, Section 1029 Policy and Procedures Manual
During the review of TTCF Unit Orders, BSCC staff determined TTCF noncompliant with
this regulation due to the Unit Orders not being comprehensively reviewed and updated
at least every two years. The review dates on numerous Unit Orders exceeded the two-
year requirements of this regulation.

Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
Due to the coronavirus pandemic and the issuance of statewide and local shelter-in-place
orders, BSCC staff were prohibited from traveling and unable to complete on-site a Physical
Plant (PHY) and Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE) inspection of the facility. The PHY and
LASE will be inspected for and updated during our next onsite 2020/2022 biennial inspection
cycle.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring
The BSCC monitors local detention facilities for compliance with the JJDPA. Minors are not held
at any of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office County Detention Facilities.
Corrective Action Plan
If you choose to address the noncompliance issues noted, please provide a corrective action
plan so we may update our files.

Sheriff’s Department County Detention Facilities. We would like to express our gratitude and
appreciation for the Custody Support Services Bureau Sergeant Jennifer Dresmal, deputy

Per CDM 7-03/040.00 Safety Chair policy, the
safety chair shall only be used for inmates who
have been identified as violent, self-destructive
or a high risk.
During the review of the agency’s policy, BSCC
staff determined the policy is out of date and not
in compliance with several sections of this
regulation.
The agency provided documentation on the use
of their safety chair via their “Inmate Safety
Chair Security Check Log” form SH-R-637 that
documents the use and reason why the safety
☒ ☐ ☐ chair is being used. The form provides four types
of use of the safety chair;
1. Short Term Security
2. Temporary Control
3. Safe Transport
4. Other
The form states, per CDM 7-03/040.00 Safety
Chair policy, the inmate shall remain in
continual, direct visual contact by observational
personal. The staff assigned to observe the
inmate in the safety chair write their name,
employee number and start/end time of their
observations. The form also has a section
labeled, “Safety Check of Inmate in the Safety
Chair” that states a two-hour maximum time
limit for inmates placed in the safety chair. This
section provides an additional area for staff to
document their observations of the inmate.
BSCC staff reviewed documentation for
restraint chair placements during the 2018/2020
inspection cycle. The documentation disclosed
the agency is in compliance with their own
policy and some sections of this regulation. The
majority of the documentation indicated inmates
were placed in a safety chair for transportation
to and from court with no force used. One of the

reports provided indicated a court order for an
inmate to have force used for the collection of
DNA where a safety chair was used. The forms
also annotated supervisor approvals, personnel
who video recorded the incident, names of staff
involved in the placement and documentation as
to the reason why the inmate was placed in the
safety chair.
During the review of safety chair documentation
for MCJ, BSCC staff noted several of the Inmate
Safety Chair Security Check Log forms did not
have annotations by staff in areas labeled;
Healthcare Staff, Completed By, Reviewed By
and Receiving Court Supervisor. Technical
assistance will be provided to the agency to
remind their staff to complete the forms when
filling them out.
Even though the documentation provided
showed the safety chair being used for the safe
transportation of inmates by either court order or
per the agency’s policy CDM 7-03/040.00 for
inmates who have been identified as violent,
self-destructive, or a high security risk, the
agency is noncompliant with several sections of
this regulation. The items of noncompliance
identified in this section are based upon the
regulation not delineating the use of restraint
devices between safe transportation and/or being
used to restrain inmate who displays behavior
which results in the destruction of property or
reveal an intent to cause physical harm to self or

restraint device, all sections of this regulation are

Note: Board Rated Capacity (BRC) (for the "Old Side") was originally determined by calculating all available air space in each module
(500 cubic feet per inmate). In older part of the jail, each wing, consisting of the main floor and "mezzanine" contains 130,500 square
feet.
The Board of Corrections historically rated the facility at a 5,276. This figure includes an apparent over-count of 40 rated beds that has
been continued over the years, as correcting the error added more confusion than benefit. Prior to the 1998-2000 inspection, housing unit
1800 was permanently converted to a law library. Since this was a clear modification to the physical plant, these 40 beds were deducted
from the BRC at the 1998-2000 inspection, establishing the BRC at 5,236.
2004-2006 inspection cycle – department staff reported the total number of available beds at 5,861.
2012-2014 inspection cycle – due to litigation (Rutherford case) the court ordered a rated capacity more restrictive than Title 15 and Title
24 regulations. LASD self-rated units 2000 and 3000 at 1,938 usable beds.
2014-2016 inspection cycle – Due to court action and a fluctuating inmate population, beds in many areas have been removed or replaced
with showers improving the conditions of confinement at this facility. Also, historically, not all of the beds in the "Old Side" had been
included in this document. This LASE has been reformatted in an attempt to quantify these changes and reflect all cells in the Men's Jail
compound. These changes have resulted in reducing the RC from 5,108 to 3,529 – a reduction of 1,579 rated beds.
2016-2018 inspection cycle – A re-designation of cells in Unit 1750 G from administrative segregation to discipline beds has resulted in a
reduction of 7 beds from the RC. In addition, Unit 2204 has been converted to storage resulting in an additional reduction of 10 beds
from the RC. Consequently, the RC has been reduced from 3,529 to 3,512 (3,529 – 17 = 3,512).

Note: 2014-2016 inspection cycle – The dorms on the 4th floor have been historically crowded. Up until this inspection cycle, Dorm
9500 was not listed in the RC due to the extremely large numbers of inmates on this floor. Since the last inspection cycle, the numbers of
inmates, and bunks, have been significantly reduced on this floor. (For example, in the previous inspection cycle, Dorm 9500 contained
445 beds.) Since all of the dorms have reduced their inmate population, the BSCC elected to include Dorm 9500 in the RC.
MEDICAL HOUSING
Note: Sheltered housing areas for inmates requiring medical services are on three floors of Central Jail. These areas have not historically
been noted on the BOC Living Area Space Evaluation because they are non-rated space. Ten beds in this area were converted to housing
juvenile boys in 2003/2004. Juveniles are no longer held at this facility according to policy, June 2009, MW.

Note: 2010-2012 inspection cycle – for the purpose of this section in the LASE we have added all beds for these areas and have placed
them in one section each. The sections identified are section 6000 and 7000, understanding there are subsections of housing in these
areas. These cells have not been rated or measured since the beds are medical housing (special use beds), and as such are not included in
the facility BRC.
2014-2016 inspection cycle – Medical beds were counted on each floor to update the historical numbers.

were placed in a safety chair for transportation
to and from court with no force used. The forms
also annotated supervisor approvals, personnel
who video recorded the incident, names of staff
involved in the placement and documentation as
to the reason why the inmate was placed in the

transportation of inmates by either court order or
per the agency’s policy CDM 7-03/040.00 for
inmates who have been identified as violent,
self-destructive, or a high security risk, the
agency is noncompliant with several sections of
this regulation. The items of noncompliance
identified in this section are based upon on the
regulation not delineating the use of restraint
devices between safe transportation and/or being
used to restrain inmate who displays behavior
which results in the destruction of property or

Note: (2005) At this inspection, we deleted reference to the specific number of dayroom beds, as this changes depending upon need.
Facility staff reports a total of 4,414 available beds, excluding 96 disciplinary and 196 CTC beds in Medical Services Building. (4/2007)
The BRC was changed 2006-2008 inspection cycle to reflect module 231 and 232 as part of the IRC BRC. A total of 384 beds reduced
Twin Towers facility BRC from 2,628 now 2,244.
2014-2016 inspection cycle – The rated capacity of TTCF was increased to 2,484. Module 232 has been transferred from IRC to TTCF
(192 beds) and Module 121 was converted from non-rated disciplinary isolation to rated administrative segregation (48 beds). (2,244 +
192 + 48 = 2,484.)
2016-2018 inspection cycle -The rated capacity of TTDF was reduced to 2,432. Module 121 was converted back from administrative
segregation to non-rated discipline cells resulting in a loss of 48 beds. Module 132-F has been converted to contain only single occupancy
cells resulting in a loss of 4 beds. The final rated capacity during this inspection cycle is 2,432 (2,484 – 48 – 4 = 2,432)

was previously categorized as disciplinary housing, which excludes it from the Board Rated Capacity (BRC).
2014-2016 inspection cycle – Module 121 was converted from disciplinary isolation to administrative segregation adding 48 beds to the
RC.
2016-2018 inspection cycle – Module 121 was returned to to non-rated discipline beds.
TOWER 1 – HOUSING
Note: There is an open area that is adjacent to and serves three housing pods in each module. At the 98-00 inspection this space was
used as multi-purpose space for group programs and that approach continued in subsequent inspections. Inmates do not have access to it
in such a way that it could be considered dayroom.
Housing Pods in Modules 131 and 272 (Tower 2) each consist of dorms with an upper and lower level. Each of the two levels originally
had eight double bunks (16 bed per level or 32 per dorm). The number of bunks increased substantially by the 98-00 inspection. The
original BOC "Living Area Space Evaluation" notes that available space limits the capacity of each dorm to 27 and that capacity has been
continued. Calculations from the county report upper and lower areas as each having 550 square feet (1100 square feet total). This does
not appear to include dayroom space. Available BOC records do not provide the total square footage.
Modules 132 – 172: Each pod contains one shower, limiting the pod capacity to 20 inmates. There is one fountain and one toilet in each
dayroom, in addition to plumbing fixtures in each cell; thirty-two seats at dayroom tables. Of the 16 cells in each pod, 12 are 72 square
feet and 4 are 100 square feet. Unless otherwise indicated, there are dayroom beds distributed throughout the pods in each Module. Pods
E and F in Modules 152 and 172, a bunk has been removed from cells 4 and 6 to create 4 single-bunk cells.

2014-2016 inspection cycle – Module 232 has been transferred from IRC to TTCF (192 beds). Since at least the 2002-2004 inspection
cycle, the "Total RC" column for Module 232 has shown 32 beds (16 x 2) for each of the six units (32 x 6 = 192). However, since the
2008-2010 inspection cycle, the LASE for the IRC has shown the "Total RC" column as 28 beds for each of the six units. This
discrepancy does not affect the current RC of TTCF.

MODULE 272- ADA and INMATE WORKERS
Note: Housing Pods in Modules 131 and 272 (Tower 2) each consist of dorms with an upper and lower level. Each of the two levels
originally had eight double bunks (16 bed per level or 32 per dorm). The number of bunks increased substantially by the 98-00
inspection. The original BOC "Living Area Space Evaluation" notes that available space limits the capacity of each dorm to 27 and that
capacity has been continued. Calculations from the county report upper and lower areas as each having 550 square feet (1100 square feet
total). This does not appear to include dayroom space. Available BOC records do not provide the total square footage. 272 Module
rated capacity is 162, currently there are 534 beds in this area.
2014-2016 inspection cycle – with the exception of 272 (Inmate Worker Dorm) a significant number of bunks were removed from all
other 272-unit dorms.
2016-2018 inspection cycle – Additional bunks have been removed from this module. This unit has been converted to an “ADA” and
Inmate Worker Module. Each pod has 16 single bunks on the ground level for “accessible beds” (ADA) while each mezzanine level has
27 beds for inmate workers. The RC remains the same.

Per CDM 7-03/040.00 Safety Chair policy, the
safety chair shall only be used for inmates who
have been identified as violent, self-destructive
or a high risk.
During the review of the agency’s policy, BSCC
staff determined the policy is out of date and not
in compliance with several sections of this
regulation.
The agency provided documentation on the use
of their safety chair via their “Inmate Safety
Chair Security Check Log” form SH-R-637 that
documents the use and reason why the safety
chair is being used. The form provides four types
of use of the safety chair;
1. Short Term Security
2. Temporary Control
3. Safe Transport
4. Other
☒ ☐ ☐
The form states, per CDM 7-03/040.00 Safety
Chair policy, the inmate shall remain in
continual, direct visual contact by observational
personal. The staff assigned to observe the
inmate in the safety chair write their name,
employee number and start/end time of their
observations. The form also has a section
labeled, “Safety Check of Inmate in the Safety
Chair” that states a two-hour maximum time
limit for inmates placed in the safety chair. This
section provides an additional area for staff to
document their observations of the inmate.
BSCC staff reviewed documentation for
restraint chair placements during the 2018/2020
inspection cycle. The documentation disclosed
the agency is in compliance with their own
policy and some sections of this regulation. The
majority of the documentation indicated inmates
were placed in a safety chair for transportation
to and from court with no force used. Two of the
reports provided indicated a court order for the
inmates to be placed in a safety chair while
attending court. The forms also annotated
supervisor approvals, personnel who video
recorded the incident, names of staff involved in
the placement and documentation as to the
reason why the inmate was placed in the safety
chair.

Note: Regulations limit holding cell capacity to a maximum of 16 inmates. Capacity of several cells is lower than this maximum due to
available seating (18"/inmate). Staging cells are allowed under 1991 regulations and can hold up to 80 inmates, with adequate square
footage and plumbing fixtures.
Effective 1/8/05, management of TTCF Modules 231 and 232 was assumed by IRC to provide a bed and temporary housing for inmates
with health care needs to address before processing can be completed. Consequently, 384 beds were deleted from the TTCF rated
capacity and associated with IRC.
2014-2016 inspection cycle – The rated capacity for the IRC has been changed from 336 to 0. For the last several inspection cycles, the
rated capacity for the IRC has been 336. This bed count came from the number of beds shown on the IRC LASE for Modules 231 (168)
and 232 (168). At the time of this inspection the cells in Module 231 had been converted to non-rated medical beds (120) used to house
inmates requiring intensive mental health services upon booking. (Although there are some exceptions, these inmates are held in this pod
for less than 48 hours.) Additionally, the beds in Module 232 (168) have been transferred to TTCF and removed from this LASE. 336 –
168 – 168 = 0. (Previous LASE's for IRC have shown conflicting RC information. Since at least the 2002-2004 inspection cycle, the
LASE for TTCF has shown 32 beds (16 x 2) in each of the six units in Module 231. However, since the 2008-2010 inspection cycle, the
LASE for IRC has shown 28 beds in each of those six units. This discrepancy does not affect the total RC of IRC because Module 231
had been converted to non-rated medical beds.)

OLD IRC
2014-2016 inspection cycle – The Old IRC is located on the ground floor in the rear portion of Men’s Central Jail (MCJ) and serves as the
principle intake reception center for the LASD system prior to the construction of the present IRC. It is used as a satellite for the current
IRC as part of that facility’s system and not that of MCJ. Specifically, this area is used as the sorting and temporary staging area for all
inmates from IRC that are going to court. This area is under the command of the IRC Captain. This is the first time that this area is
included in IRC’s LASE.

Note: Buildings 500 – 900 are housing with buildings 500-800 as dorms, each with an upper and lower tier on each of two levels.
(Building 900 consists of single and double occupancy cells.) The facility was constructed and originally rated under 1980 regulations
that allowed "Multiple Occupancy Rooms," but not dorms. This forced the original rating to consider the upper and lower tiers as
separate dorms, each with a maximum capacity of 16 inmates. The terms "dorm" and "multiple occupancy rooms" have both been used
in BOC documentation. At the 1998-2000 inspection, we applied the 1986 Dorm regulations to these housing units to more closely
correspond with the practice of considering each housing area (i.e., 511, 512, etc) a dorm. This also circumvents the problem of the
1980 regulation, which limits Multiple Occupancy Rooms to Type III and IV facilities and to inmate worker units in other facilities.
This change has no impact on Board Rated Capacity (BRC) or facility operation. Each Dorm (i.e., 511, 512, etc) has 4 toilets, 2 urinals,
4 washbasins, 2 drinking fountains and 2 showers.
BOC records indicate that the dimensions for the bunk/housing areas in buildings 500-700 are 49.0' X 12.0' X 8.6' on the upper and
lower tiers, for a total of 1,176 square feet. In addition, the dayroom space for each dorm is 49.9' X 39.0' X 17.8' (1,946 square feet).
The total dayroom & housing square feet is 3,122. This is sufficient for 37 single-bunked inmates (50 square feet housing + 35 square
feet dayroom/inmate). Later 1991 regulations reduce the square footage to 72.5 square feet per double-bunked inmate (43 inmates);
however, there would not be sufficient plumbing fixtures to reach this capacity.
BOC records indicate that the dimensions for the bunk/housing area in Building 800 are 57.3' X 13.2' X 8.7' on the upper and lower tiers,
for a total of 1,513 square feet. In addition, the dayroom space for each housing dorm is 25.7' X 54.0' X 17.9' (1,388 square feet). The
total dayroom & housing is 2,901 square feet. This is sufficient for 34 single-bunked inmates (50 square feet housing + 35 square feet
dayroom/inmate). Later 1991 regulations reduce the square footage to 72.5 square feet per double-bunked inmate. This requirement is
further reduced to 70 square feet for double bunked inmates and 65 square feet for triple bunked inmates in 2001 regulations. Based on
square footage under 2001 regulations, the dorms in building 800 could support a double bunked capacity of 41 inmates and, triple
bunked, 45 inmates. Plumbing fixtures would limit the capacity to 40 inmates if BSCC were requested to re-evaluate the Board Rated
Capacity. There are considerably more beds in each dorm.
2016-2018 inspection cycle – Staff has replaced all double bunks with triple bunks. The bunks now line the outside walls of each
dormitory. This has resulted in more dayroom space and much better sight lines between each set of bunks.

At the 2002-2004 inspection, Dorm 320 was converted into classrooms. This change reduced the previous Board Rated Capacity (BRC)
of 996 by 66 beds. Additionally, we dropped the capacity by 4 beds to address the four single cells discussed below, which had been
“carried” in the capacity for a number of years. Consequently, the BRC was reduced from 996 to 926. Facility staff reports that there are
1854 housing beds, in addition to 24 non-rated disciplinary beds. (See note for Units 362/363.)
Historical note regarding BRC: There were 4 single cells along the main hallway that records indicate received a November 1976
variance for use despite being under-size. They were closed at one time, reopened in 1989 and had been used for storage for a number of
years, with no plans to reopen. They were deleted from this report during the 1998-2000 inspection, were carried in the BRC because
reducing the capacity by that small number was confusing and of little value. As noted above, they were deleted during the 2002-04
inspection when the 66-bed deduction was also made when Unit 320 was no longer used for housing.
Dormitories 321-336: BOC file notes indicate a November 11, 1976 variance to allow 66 persons in each of 12 dorms, with a toilet ratio
of 1:9.4 inmates. This was apparently extended to a 13th dorm at a later time. (As of 2001 regulation revisions, the ratio was changed to
1:10.) There is 6' of urinal in each dorm, in addition to the toilets noted below.
2014-2016 and 2016-2018 inspection cycles – This facility was empty except for one dorm that was being used as a “fire camp”. It has
been used as a “safety valve” where large numbers of inmates can be transferred, usually during a major disturbance at the originating
facility. It is also used for training purposes. This entire facility remains “open” with appropriate numbers of staff to match the inmate
population.

MEDICAL HOUSING
Note: There are no medical beds. Historical files report 3 medical dorms, with 27 beds and a BRC of 24 inmates (22.5 X 26.0 X 12.0).
Use of these dorms was discontinued several years ago and they were deleted from the Living Area Space Evaluation at the 1998-00
inspection. This has no impact on rated capacity, as they were "non-rated" medical beds.

Historical note: Historical note: 1980 regulations do not allow dormitories; "dorms" 41-51 were considered to be separate spaces, divided by
the toilet/shower areas, to create 16-inmate units under the "multiple occupancy room" regulation and a total rated capacity of 32 inmates.
South Facility has 22 barracks in 7 compounds. Compound A consists of dorms 31-32-33; B: 34-35-36; E: 37-38-39; G: 41 and 42, which
have been converted to dining and 40, which was converted to a "processing" dorm; H: 43-44-45; K: 46-47-48; M: 49-50-51.
Dorms 30-39 are rated under the 1973 regulations, which allowed dormitories to have 40 square feet of sleeping space per inmate + 25 square
feet dayroom (65 square feet). The dimensions below equal 3,920 square feet; however, BOC file notes also reflect 4,062 square feet per unit.
The Board Rated Capacity has historically been based on 4,062/65 square feet = 62 inmates. This rating overlooked insufficient washbasins,
which were required at a ratio of 1:8; however, later, less restrictive 2001 regulations changed this ratio to 1:10, essentially bringing the
plumbing fixtures into compliance. Plumbing in these dorms includes 6' urinal trough and regulations allow every 2' to be counted toward the
toilet ratio, not to exceed one-third the total number required.

Notes: 1980 regulations do not allow dormitories; "dorms" 41-51 utilize "pony walls" to create 16-inmate units under what was then called
the "multiple occupancy room" regulation. They operate as dorms and are labeled as such here. "Dorms" 41-51 were considered to be
separate spaces, divided by the toilet/shower areas, to create 16-inmate units under the "multiple occupancy room" regulation and a total rated

Per CDM 7-03/040.00 Safety Chair policy, the
safety chair shall only be used for inmates who
have been identified as violent, self-destructive
or a high risk.
During the review of the agency’s policy, BSCC
staff determined the policy is out of date and not
in compliance with several sections of this
regulation.
The agency provided documentation on the use
of their safety chair via their “Inmate Safety
Chair Security Check Log” form SH-R-637 that
documents the use and reason why the safety
chair is being used. The form provides four types
of use of the safety chair;
1. Short Term Security
2. Temporary Control
3. Safe Transport
4. Other
☒ ☐ ☐
The form states, per CDM 7-03/040.00 Safety
Chair policy, the inmate shall remain in
continual, direct visual contact by observational
personal. The staff assigned to observe the
inmate in the safety chair write their name,
employee number and start/end time of their
observations. The form also has a section
labeled, “Safety Check of Inmate in the Safety
Chair” that states a two-hour maximum time
limit for inmates placed in the safety chair. This
section provides an additional area for staff to
document their observations of the inmate.
BSCC staff reviewed documentation for
restraint chair placements during the 2018/2020
inspection cycle. The documentation disclosed
the agency is in compliance with their own
policy and this regulation. The majority of the
documentation indicated inmates were placed in
a safety chair for transportation to and from
court with no force used. Two of the reports
provided indicated a court order for the inmates
to be placed in a safety chair while attending
court. The forms also annotated supervisor
approvals, personnel who video recorded the
incident, names of staff involved in the
placement and documentation as to the reason
why the inmate was placed in the safety chair.

transportation of inmates by either court order or
per the agency’s policy CDM 7-03/040.00 for
inmates who have been identified as violent,
self-destructive, or a high security risk, the
agency is noncompliant with several sections of

1998-2000 inspection cycle – The booking area for the Century Regional Detention Facility (CRDF) was separated from the detention
portion of CRDF resulting in two separate facilities: Century Type I Booking Center (#1530) and CRDF (#1445). This was done because
juveniles were brought into the booking area for photograph and printing, prior to being held in non-secure detention in the nearby
Century Patrol Station Jail. This practice conflicted with statute because, other than minors adjudicated for adult court under 707.1, WIC
207.1 prohibits minors from entering a Type II jail for any reason.
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 reported that the total 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.
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 1,588 for the entire facility, acknowledging the Department’s intent to fully reopen the
facility.
March 25, 2006 Century Regional Detention Facility fully opened as a female facility.
2014-2016 inspection cycle – Juveniles are no longer booked at CRDF. As a result, at the next inspection cycle (2016-2018) the LASD
Century Type I Booking Center (BSCC # 1530) will cease to exist as a separate facility and the holding and housing cells will be re-
incorporated into CRDF's Physical Plant Evaluation and Living Area Space Evaluation.
Historically, housing 1201, 1202, 1203, 1204, 1301, 1302, 1303, 1304, 1401, 1402 and 1403 were occasionally moved between the Type
I Booking Center and the Type II facility. Up until this inspection cycle, the number of beds for "both facilities" (80 + 1,588 = 1,668) has
remained constant.
Previous inspection cycles have shown that units 1602 and 1603 contained 20 non-rated beds in each unit. These units are now used for
general population inmates resulting in 40 additional rated beds. As a result, the revised rated capacity for CRDF is 1,708 [1,588
(previous rated capacity of the Type II facility) + 80 (previous rated capacity of the Type I facility) + 40 (from units 1602 and 1603) =
1,708].
Note: The transport/intake and release area of the Century Regional Detention Center (Type II operation); Court Services had primary
responsibility for Cells 9-13 when the Lynwood court was operational. 1982 Title 24 regulations up to current regulations only allow up
to 16 inmates in each holding cells.

BOOKING CENTER
2016 – 2018 inspection cycle – at the time of the 1998-2000 inspection, the Booking Center was separated from the detention portion of
CRDF resulting in two separate facilities Century Type I Booking Center (#1530) and CRDF (#1445). Effective this inspection cycle,
this area has been returned to the CRDF LASE (BSCC # 1445). The exception to this is the Juvenile Holding Area which is outside of
the perimeter of CRDF.

Note: All cells have two bunks; capacity limited by 1:20 shower ratio; some cells rated as single (s/double). 1300/1400 exercise yard
converted to DMH Offices.
2016 – 2018 inspection cycle – The exercise yards in the 1200 and 1300 Modules have been converted to office space. The exercise area
in 1400 has been converted to a sewing area. Consequently, for the inmates housed in these units to receive their exercise time, they
must be moved to another Module’s exercise yard. The exercise yard in Units 2200, 2300 and 2400 have each been subdivided into four
exercise areas of approximately 5’ X 17’ each.
All housing units have extra bunks located in the dayrooms.
MEDICAL SERVICES – This area was used for the "clinic"; however, the facility has never been staffed to house inmates here. This
area is no longer used as the clinic, MW 2013. Many spaces of the facility were converted for new use when the facility opened up as a
female facility; MW 2007.
