2018-2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION – MARIN COUNTY MAIN JAIL AND COURT HOLDING
FACILITY PENAL CODE SECTION 6031
Dear Sheriff Doyle:
On May 14, 2020, (Pursuant to Penal Code section 6031.1, Welfare and Institutions Code
sections 209 and 855) Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) staff conducted the
2018-2020 biennial inspection of Marin County's Main Jail and Court Holding facility, via a
remote desk audit.
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 were unable to complete the on-site
inspection. BSCC staff conducted a virtual inspection via desk audit of all facilities originally
scheduled for inspection during this timeframe. Desk audits are comprised of a comprehensive
review of all applicable policies and procedures and associated documentation to support that
practices meet the agency policies. BSCC staff intend to conduct comprehensive onsite
inspections of all local detention facilities as soon as travel restrictions are no longer in effect.
During the desk audit, I was provided with electronic files containing a sampling of the following:
facility safety checks, exercise and recreation logs, safety cell placements, discipline records,
grievances, local inspection reports, fire suppression pre-planning and inspections, suicide
prevention, incident reports, restraint device documentation, the inmate orientation handbook
and access to all agency policies, procedures and post orders.
The complete BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of: this transmittal letter; the Title
15 Procedures checklist outlining Title 15 requirements for each facility; a Physical Plant
Evaluation outlining Title 24 requirements for design for each facility; and, a Living Area Space
Evaluation summarizing the physical plant configuration and showing the rated capacity of each
facility. A copy of the Physical Plant Evaluation and Living Area Space Evaluation from your last
onsite inspection are included for your information only; if there have been significant changes
to your physical plant at either jail facility, the changes will be updated during the next on-site

visit. Compliance for this inspection cycle is indicated by policy and documentation review.
Please refer to the Title 15 Procedures Checklists for indication of compliance or noncompliance,
and information specific to each regulation.
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
that would also include documentation of corrections made following the inspection. This file
should be the first point of reference when preparing for all future inspections.

BSCC INSPECTION
Title 15 Inspection – Policies, Procedures and Documentation
Our inspection of Marin County's jail and court holding facilities began with a desk audit to review
the Marin County Jail and Court Holding policies. Our audit included a review of only those
policies and procedures related specifically to the applicable regulations included in Title 15,
Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities.
After reviewing the agency policy manuals, we reviewed a sampling of hourly safety checks for
each facility and found that staff were performing their checks within the 60 minutes required by
Title 15, Section 1027, and by policy. We also reviewed documentation on the use of safety
cells and restraints (when used as defined in Section 1058, Use of Restraints). All
documentation for safety cell placement and restraints were found to conform to applicable
policy and regulations. The sobering cell logs were reviewed and were found to be timely and

contained necessary approvals and justifications. Our review of a sampling of grievances and
discipline reports revealed timely and appropriate responses.
Our review of policies, procedures and documentation resulted in the following findings of non-
compliance with Title 15 regulations.
• 1029 Policy and Procedures Manual:
Facility administrator(s) shall develop and publish a manual of policy and procedures for
the facility. The policy and procedures manual shall address all applicable Title 15 and
Title 24 regulations and shall be comprehensively reviewed and updated at least every
two years. Such a manual shall be made available to all employees.
The current Custody Policy Manual has not been updated since June 2018.
• 1051 Communicable Diseases:
At the time of intake into the facility, an inquiry shall be made of the person being booked
as to whether or not he/she has or has had any communicable diseases, such as
tuberculosis or has observable symptoms of tuberculosis or any other communicable
diseases, or other special medical problem identified by the health authority.
Screening for “observable symptoms” will be added to policy and will include a listing of
observable symptoms. Until this is completed, the agency is non-compliant. In addition,
the agency is encouraged to incorporate language specific to COVID-19.
Should you elect to develop a corrective action plan, please provide it to us within the next 90
days. Upon verification of correction, BSCC will be amended its findings to reflect the current
status of compliance.
Title 24 – Physical Plant Inspection
Due to COVID 19 and travel restrictions, the physical plant of the Marin County Main Jail and
Court Holding facilities were not inspected during this cycle. A copy of the 2016-2018 inspection
is being attached for reference.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring
In accordance with the JJDPA, BSCC monitors jail facilities for compliance with one of four core
requirements of the Act: Separation of Juveniles from Incarcerated Adults. Minors are not
housed or supervised in these facilities; therefore, no violations of the JJDPA were identified.
This concludes our inspection report for the 2018-2020 inspection cycle. We would like to
express our gratitude to all involved, specifically to Sergeant Domenick Yazzolino. He devoted
the extra time and effort needed to prepare and complete a successful virtual inspection. His
professionalism, courtesy and flexibility with this unprecedented method of inspection and
documentation review was appreciated. If you should have any questions, please contact me
at (916) 322-8081, or by email at kim.moule@BSCC.CA.GOV.
