Dear Sheriff Villanueva:
2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION
LOS ANGELES COUNTY'S COURT HOLDING FACILITIES; PENAL CODE SECTION 6031
On September 26 and October 11, 2021, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections
(BSCC) provided pre-inspection briefings to facility supervisors outlining the purposes, 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 2021. BSCC staff provided applicable checklists and answered any
questions.
BSCC conducted the 2020-2022 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 Pomona Superior
Van Nuys Superior Court
Superior Court Court South
Downey Superior Court Airport Court Compton Superior Court
Hollywood Mental Health McCourtney Juvenile Antelope Valley
Superior Court Justice Center Superior Court
Burbank Superior Court Bellflower Superior Court Long Beach Courthouse
Alhambra Superior Court Inglewood Superior Court
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 (CAP), 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 2022.
Fire and Life Safety Inspections, CCR 15, 1032(c):
We reviewed current fire and life safety inspection for all court facilities.
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 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:
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. A medical opinion on placement and retention
shall be secured within one hour from the time of placement. A medical assessment
shall be completed within four hours 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.
At Van Nuys Superior Court, BSCC Staff reviewed 12 uses of the restraint chair
during the last year. The logs and checks by staff are being completed in accordance
with this section. The only issue of noncompliance is the obtaining medical opinion on
placement and retention within one hour. Since the inspection, procedures have
been changed and should ensure compliance in all court holdings.
1280 FACILITY SANITATION, SAFETY, AND MAINTENANCE:
The facility administrator shall develop written policies and procedures for the
maintenance of an acceptable level of cleanliness, repair, and safety throughout the
facility. Such a plan shall provide for a regular schedule of housekeeping tasks and
inspections to identify and correct unsanitary or unsafe conditions or work practices
which may be found.
All courts sanitation and maintenance services are contracted and supervised by the
courts’ facility administrator and not the sheriff’s department. Pride Industries are
contracted for maintenance and Uniserve Facilities Services are contracted for
janitorial services. The following courts were out of compliance for section 1280:
C.S Foltz Superior Court had multiple health and safety issues. This included broken
glass on 4th Floor, West #8; Broken toilet and damaged wall on 8th Floor, West #8;
Toilet unit damaged and has sharp edges, 10th Floor, East #8; Inoperative Sallyport
Door, 8th Floor, #4; Broken Toilet, 10th Floor, #6; and all holding areas have excessive
gang graffiti and peeling paint. Since the inspection, all items that can be repaired
have been. Work orders have been submitted for parts and painting.
Pomona Superior Court South had a large crack in the wall of cell 5B. There was
excessive gang graffiti and peeling paint. Pomona Superior Court North had
inoperative water faucets in Cells 1B and 1C; the toilet in 2C was also inoperative.
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.

Since the inspection, facility maintenance responded to plan is correction of these
items.
East Los Angeles Superior Court has excessive gang graffiti and peeling paint. There
were also multiple inoperative toilets, water fountains, and lights throughout the
facility. Since the inspection, plumbing and lights have been repaired. Work orders
have been submitted for wall repair and painting.
Inglewood, Compton, and Alhambra Courts has excessive gang graffiti and peeling
paint in several cells. Work orders have been placed and are awaiting action by the
court administrators and contacted services.
Airport Superior Court continues to have multiple health and safety issues. The
epoxy floors remain a concern in several cells, as noted in the 2018-2020 Inspection
and the County Environmental Health inspection. The floors’ coating is cracked,
pitted, and presents a danger and health hazard. Additionally, modesty screens
present possible ligature points. There was also significant staining, grime, and
graffiti on cell ceilings and walls. Since the inspection the epoxy floor has been
repaired, cells have been cleaned, ceiling was painted, and work orders submitted to
eliminate the noted ligature points.
Title 24 Inspection
We identified the following non-compliance issue at the Edelman Children's Court (1991) and
the Pomona Superior Court South (1988). 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.
Work orders have been submitted to correct these items.
In the Compton Superior Court, the cells contain Towel paper roll holders that can be used as
ligature points. Additionally, there were recent modifications to the counters in all visitation cells.
In in accordance with Part 1, Section 13-102, 6 Design Requirements, B. (2) Suicide hazards:
The facility design shall avoid any surface, edges fixtures or fittings that can provide an
attachment for self-inflicted injury…shelves shall have no sharp edges and be configured
to prevent attachments.
The modification of the counters leaves sharp edges, ligature points on the counter, and the
visitation rooms also include accessible sprinkler heads. Although not a holding cell, persons
are left unsupervised in these visitation rooms for short periods of time.
The Long Beach Superior Court has a potential issue in all the interview rooms. All the interview
rooms in the court have a handle on the inside of the inmates’ side of the interview room doors.
No additional Title 24 non-compliance issues were noted.

Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) Compliance Monitoring
BSCC Staff contacted the Los Angeles County Probation Personnel that securely detain
minors in the courts that include an Adult Court Holding Area. This includes:
Antelope Valley Superior Compton Superior Court East Los Angeles Superior
Court Court
Edelman’s Children’s Court Long Beach Superior Court Pomona Superior Court
Currently, the Sheriff’s Department is not maintaining logs and records of minor held in the
building. The probation department is maintaining logs on minors secured in the build but are
not recording checks of those minors. In practice, probation personnel are staying with the
minors during secure detention. In accordance with Title 15, Article 10, (Minors in Court Holding
Facilities), Section 1164:
A sufficient number of personnel shall be employed in each facility to permit unscheduled
safety checks of all minors at least twice every 30 minutes, and to ensure the
implementation and operation of the activities required by these regulations. There shall be
a written plan that includes the documentation of safety checks.
In the above listed court facilities, there appears to be adequate staffing, and further
training and technical assistance will be made available on this specific item.
Corrective Action Plan
As part of the BSCC enhanced inspection process, a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) was
requested for non-compliance items within 30 days of initial inspection report. BSCC Staff has
received the CAP for all items of non-compliance identified. The majority of the sanitation and
maintenance items have been corrected, but some of the repair and painting issues are awaiting
further action by the contractors. BSCC Staff will continue to conduct follow-up assistance to
ensure progress in correcting all identified items.
Technical Assistance
At the conclusion of each inspection, BSCC staff offered an out brief of findings to on-site senior
sheriff department staff. This included an immediate review of the inspection and any non-
compliance issues. Additionally, on January 20, 2022, a complete debriefing of all Los Angeles
Court Holdings was provided the senior staff of the LASD Court Services Division. This included
all findings, and 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.
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
