MARIPOSA COUNTY SPECIAL PURPOSE JUVENILE HALL BSCC # 7306
Dear Chief Judy:
The 2016/2018 biennial inspection of the Mariposa County Probation Department’s Special
Purpose Juvenile Hall has been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on August 11,
2017, and the facility was inspected on March 9, 2018.
A complete Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) inspection report is enclosed
and consists of the following: this transmittal letter; a Title 15 Procedures Checklist, outlining
applicable minimum standards for juvenile detention facilities; a Physical Plant Evaluation,
outlining applicable Title 24 minimum standards; and the Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE),
summarizing the physical plant configuration and outlining the rated capacity of the facility.
Please refer to the Title 15 Procedures Checklist for a summary of all relevant minimum
standards, indication of compliance or non-compliance, and information that was used to
determine compliance.
Mandatory Local Inspections
In addition to the biennial inspection, Title 15, Section 1313 and its authorizing statute require
local inspections conducted by the following authorities:
• County Building Inspection by agency designated by the Board of Supervisors;
• Fire authority having jurisdiction;
• Local health officer;
• County superintendent of schools;
• Juvenile Court; and,
• Juvenile Justice Commission.
Results of these inspections are considered as part of this report. The dates of the local
inspections may be found in the Title 15 Procedures Checklist.

Scope of the Inspection
The inspection consisted of a review of the Mariposa County Policy and Procedures Manual1, a
site-visit to review operations, physical plant and relevant documentation, and interviews with
your administration. There were no youth or other facility staff on site to interview. During the
inspection, we also evaluated consistency between policy and practice.
Inspection Results
Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards
Upon final review of all documentation, there are no outstanding issue items of non-compliance
with Title 15 at the Mariposa County Special Purpose Juvenile Facility. No corrective action is
required at this time. We noted the department operates the facility with the intended spirit of
regulation as it relates to Special Purpose Juvenile Halls in that youth are either released from
custody with an order to appear for Court or if detention is determined to be necessary, the youth
is transported to a neighboring full service juvenile hall. It is rare a youth stays within the confines
of the facility for more than just initial booking.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to your physical plant and your rated capacity remains at 4.
Please see the Physical Plant Evaluation for more information.
Training
According to the most recent Standards and Training for Corrections (STC) audit, Mariposa
County Probation is in compliance with all relevant regulations and mandates. It should be noted
the facility is not held to the same training standards as a full-service facility but does have a few
core trained staff when youth are detained prior to transport or release.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) Compliance Monitoring
We reviewed documentation and found no violations of JJDPA. Refer to the Title 15 Procedures
Checklist for detailed information.
Summary
We appreciate the time taken by your facility superintendent, Constance Pearce, to prepare for
our inspection. Updates to policy have been made since last cycle and provide clear guidance
for staff when a youth comes to the facility. You have also been utilizing a neighboring county,
Tuolumne, which is culturally and demographically similar to house your county’s pre- and post-
disposition youth. This allows for direct services to youth in a similar rural environment.
1 BSCC reviews only those policies and procedures required by and applicable to Title 15, CCR. BSCC staff do
not ‘approve’ policies and procedures or assess them for constitutional or legal issues. Agencies should seek
review through their legal advisor, risk manager, or other persons deemed appropriate for such evaluation.

Chief Judy
June 18, 2018
In terms of admissions this last cycle, although you continue to have very few, the process for
determining detention is well thought out and appropriate. You clearly understand the impact of
removing a youth from the community and if necessary, the hardship of housing them outside of
Mariposa while they await court. This attentiveness provides the family with articulated plans
for the youths return home and to the community with the best opportunity for success.
This concludes our 2016/2018 biennial inspection report. I am available to provide technical
assistance when requested or to respond to any questions you may have. I look forward to
continuing to work with you and your staff. Do not hesitate to email me at
Elizabeth.gong@bscc.ca.gov or call at (916) 324-9253 if you need anything.
Sincerely,
