Dear Sheriff Kendall:
2018-2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF MENDOCINO COUNTY ADULT DETENTION
FACILITY AND COURT HOLDING FACILITY, PENAL CODE 6031
On January 27, 2020 Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) staff conducted
the 2018-2020 biennial inspection of the Mendocino County Adult Jail Facility, the
Mendocino County Superior Court Holding Facility and the Fort Bragg Justice Center.
Pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031, this inspection was performed to determine
compliance with the Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities as outlined in Titles
15 and 241, California Code of Regulations (CCR). In addition, BSCC conducted
compliance monitoring pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 209(f) and the
federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA).
The complete BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of: this letter; the Title 15
Procedures Checklist outlining applicable minimum standards of each facility; a Physical
Plant Evaluation outlining Title 24 requirements for design of each facility; and, a Living
Area Space Evaluation summarizing the physical plant configuration and showing the
rated-capacity of each facility. Refer to the Title 15 Checklists for compliance status and
evidence 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 facility. Current
inspections are noted below. Once you receive a copy of the missing inspections, please
forward them to the BSCC. Those missing are Fire and Life Safety inspections for the
Adult Jail and Court Holding facility; Medical/Mental Health inspections for the Court
Holding facility and Fort Bragg Justice Center; Environmental Health inspections for the
Court Holding facility and the Fort Bragg Justice Center; and a Nutritional Health
inspection for the Adult Jail.
1 Facilities are assessed against Title 24 requirements in place at the time of design or significant remodel to the jail area.

The inspection consisted of a review of the policies and procedures related specifically to

due to lack of documentation; we will determine compliance when we receive
documentation.

Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
The inspection consisted of a walk-through of each facility and a review of the applicable
Title 24 CCR sections associated with each building. Mendocino County Jail was built
under Title 24 regulations 1980 and 1986. The Mendocino Superior Court Holding Facility
was built under Title 24 regulations 1980.
Mendocino County Jail
Title 24 Sections 1231.2.7 Double Occupancy Cells and 1231.2.8 dormitories
During the inspection, it was noted that there is use of temporary stack-a-bunks in
several areas. In each of the affected housing units, the occupancy rate was lower
than the rated capacity. This is due to the classification status of each person,
however, when the temporary stack-a-bunks are used, the area is noncompliant.
