MARIPOSA COUNTY SPECIAL PURPOSE JUVENILE HALL; BSCC # 7306
2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION PURSUANT TO WIC 209 and 885
Dear Chief Judy:
On December 2, 2021, Pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code sections 209 and 885, BSCC staff
completed the 2020/2022 Biennial Inspection of the Mariposa County Special Purpose Juvenile Hall.
To prepare for this inspection, a pre‐inspection briefing was held on May 21, 2021, with Facility Manager
Monique Beaudoin via Zoom.
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.
BSCC staff worked with Ms. Beaudoin, who facilitated a coordinated and organized process to complete
all elements of the on-site inspection. We appreciated the time and responsiveness in preparing for
and participating in the inspection.
We reviewed your Policy and Procedures Manual1; all Local Inspections; annual reviews of Security
and Emergency practices; and, documents and forms used by the agency. We requested an increased
level of documentation this cycle due to our virtual inspection in 2018-2020; however, documentation
is limited as you had only 16 admissions and no incidents of high-risk behaviors. As you are a Special
Purpose Juvenile Hall, your youth are transferred to a full-service facility, Tuolumne or Madera, or
released after intake.
The BSCC inspection report consists of this transmittal letter; the attached Title 15 Procedures
checklist, the Title 24 Physical Plant Checklist (PHY) and Living Area Space Evaluation, documenting
the physical space in the facilities. Please refer to the Title 15 and 24 Procedures Checklist for a
summary of all relevant minimum standards, indication of compliance, and information used to
determine compliance.
1 BSCC does not review all of your policies and procedures. We do not “approve” your policies and procedures or review
them for constitutional or legal issues. We recommend agencies seek review through their legal advisor, risk manager and
other persons deemed appropriate.

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; 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.
Inspection Results
Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards
Upon final review of all policies1 and limited documentation, there are no outstanding items of non-
compliance with Title 15 at the Mariposa County Special Purpose Juvenile Facility. No corrective action
is required at this time.
In terms of operations, your staff are tasked with a short turnaround time to determine if a youth is going
to be released to the community or transferred to a full-service juvenile facility. The process is timely
and well documented. The decisions are made with a full complement of information, background and
investigation of the best possible disposition. We commend you and your staff for this diligence.
You continue to utilize Tuolumne County for most of your youth requiring detention. Because they align
with Mariposa in terms of demographics, you allow your youth population to benefit from Tuolumne
County services.
There are no issues of noncompliance related to the Mariposa Special Purpose Juvenile Hall.
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.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) Compliance Monitoring
We found no violations of JJDPA. Refer to the Title 15 Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
Summary
We appreciate the time taken by your Facility Manager, Monique Beaudoin, to prepare for our
inspection. She was prepared to update policies as it relates to new requirements of BSCC purview
due to the pandemic, specific to Environmental Health and Health Care information in our procedures
checklist.
