2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF MARIPOSA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE JAIL
FACILITY, PENAL CODE 6031
Dear Sheriff Briese,
On March 4, 2021, pursuant to Penal Code section 6031.1 and Welfare and Institutions Code
sections 209 and 885, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted
the 2020-2022 biennial inspection of the Mariposa County Adult Detention Facility. A pre-
inspection briefing was held on October 6, 2020, to discuss the biennial inspection requirements.
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 (CCR). 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 of juveniles from incarcerated adults.
The BSCC inspection report consists of this transmittal letter and the attached Title 15
Procedures Checklist (PRO), Adult Jail Physical Plant Evaluation (PHY), and Living Area Space
Evaluation (LASE). Compliance is indicated by policy or documentation review. Please refer to
the Title 15 PRO for a summary of all relevant minimum standards, an 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 facilities.
On the day of the inspection, your local inspections for Medical/Mental Health, Nutritional Health,
and Environmental Health were not completed within the annual requirements. Lt. Sean Land
informed BSCC staff that the local inspections for the facility are scheduled for March 24, 2021,
and he will provide copies of the reports when completed.

BSCC INSPECTION
The inspection consisted of reviewing the Mariposa County Sheriff's Office Custody Policy and
Procedure Manual, a site visit to review operations, physical plant and relevant documentation,
and interviews with administration, facility staff, persons incarcerated, and collaborative partners.
Title 15, CCR Inspection
Our evaluation consisted of reviewing only those policies and procedures related specifically to
the applicable regulations included in Title 15, CCR.1 We found your agency has three areas of
noncompliance during this inspection cycle.
§ 1056. Use of Sobering Cell
During the review of sobering cell safety check documentation, BSCC staff determined
the agency is noncompliant with this regulation due to safety checks not being routinely
conducted every half hour.
§ 1058. Use of Restraint Devices
During the review of reports, BSCC staff determined the agency is noncompliant with this
regulation due to not having a medical opinion upon placement and retention not secured
within one hour from the time of placement.
§ 1058. Use of Restraint Devices
During the review of the three restraint chair reports for safety checks, BSCC staff
determined the agency to be noncompliant with this regulation for not routinely completing
direct visual observations at least twice every thirty minutes in two of the reports.
Please refer to the Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to the facility's physical plant since the last BSCC biennial
inspection. We found your agency has no areas of noncompliance during this inspection cycle.
During the onsite inspection, your command staff informed BSCCs staff they are currently
replacing shower and faucet fixtures to prevent ligature points.
Please refer to the Physical Plant Checklist for detailed information.
1 BSCC does not review all policies and procedures. We do not “approve” 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.

Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring
The BSCC monitors local detention facilities for compliance with the JJDPA. Minors are not held
at the Mariposa County Adult Detention Facility.
Corrective Action Plan
On March 8, 2021, BSCC staff held an Exit Brief with your staff. During that brief, BSCC staff
provided an overview of the biennial inspection and provided technical assistance and best
practices recommendations. We found three noncompliance issues during the desk audit and
onsite inspection. Your agency provided BSCC staff a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) addressing
these issues on April 2, 2021; we will respond to the CAP under separate cover.
This concludes the 2020-2022 biennial inspection cycle report of the jail and court
holding facilities. We want to express our gratitude to Lieutenant Sean Land. We look forward
to working with you in the future to provide technical assistance. If you should have any
questions, please contact me at steven.wicklander@bscc.ca.gov.
