Los Angeles County, Detention Facilities Targeted (2020-2022 inspection cycle)

March 12, 2021 Alex Villanueva, Sheriff Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department 211 West Temple Street Los Angeles, CA 90012 2020-2022 TARGETED INSPECTION OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT DETENTION FACILITIES, PENAL CODE 6031 Dear Sheriff Villanueva: On February 19, 2021 through March 12, 2021, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted a 2020-2022 Targeted Inspection of the Century Regional Detention Facility (CRDF), Twin Towers Correctional Facility (TTCF), North County Correctional Facility (NCCF), and the Pitches Detention Center East/Fire Camp (PDC East) detention facilities to determine compliance with the Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities as outlined in Titles 15 and 24, California Code of Regulations. The Targeted Inspection's focus was to verify your agency's corrective actions to correct noncompliance issues from your 2018- 2020 Biennial Inspection Report. During the 18-20 inspection, BSCC staff noted five system wide noncompliant issues for Inmate Orientation policies, five system wide noncompliant issues for Restraint policies, one noncompliant issue for Exercise and Recreation at NCCF, one noncompliant issue for an Annual Security Review at CRDF, and one noncompliant issue at PDC East and TTCF for their Policy and Procedure Manual not being reviewed and updated every two years. During the documentation review, BSCC staff noted the majority of noncompliance issues were due to out-of-date policies that your agency corrected and are pending approval from the Department of Justice (DOJ) for implementation due to settlement agreements noted in the procedures checklists. Upon final review of all documentation your agency provided, BSCC staff determined you have corrected all noncompliance issues. See attached procedures checklists for detail. BSCC staff will be conducting follow up reviews and an additional Targeted Inspection during at the conclusion of DOJ’s review and dissemination of all policies to staff. 1320+ Los Angeles Co Targeted Inspection 20-22 Sheriff Alex Villanueva Los Angeles County Page 2 This concludes the 2020-2022 Targeted Inspection report.
