MONTEREY COUNTY TYPE II, JAIL COURT HOLDING FACILITIES
Dear Sheriff Bernal:
The 2020/2022 biennial inspection of the Monterey Sheriff Office’s Type II Jail Facility and Court
Holding Facilities has been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on December 15, 2021
and the facilities were inspected on February 14 & 15, 2022. The following facilities were inspected:
Monterey County Jail Monterey County Superior Court Salinas Court Holding
Marina Traffic Court King City Holding Facility
Pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031, these inspections were 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.
The 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 adult 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 each facility.
Please refer to the Title 15 Procedures Checklist for a summary of all relevant minimum standards,
indication of compliance or noncompliance, and information used to determine compliance.
MANDATORY 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).

SCOPE OF THE INSPECTION
The inspection consisted of a review of the Monterey CountyPolicy and Procedure Manual1, a site visit
to review operations, physical plant, relevant documentation, and interviews with administration, facility
staff, inmates, and collaborative partners.
BSCC INSPECTION RESULTS
Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards
Upon final review of all documentation, there were two areas of noncompliance listed below that have,
since this writing, been corrected. There are no Title 15 issues that remain noncompliant and no further
corrective action is required at this time.
§ 1056. Use of Sobering Cell
§ 1055. Use of Safety Cell
On the date of inspection, a sobering cell was being used for overflow in the booking area and a safety
cell was being used to hold someone absent suicidal ideations. The agency has modified the use of
these cells to allow for observation. Policy and associated logs have been revised to allow for
appropriate observations, approvals, and documentation.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to the physical plant and your rated capacity remains at 3280.
On the date of inspection there were three areas of noncompliance listed below that have been or are
in the process of being corrected.
1231.2.8 Dormitories
On the date of inspection, personal storage space was not being provided to inmates housed in
dormitories. The agency, has since, updated policy and ordered personal storage bins to be issued to
each inmate housed in a dormitory.
1BSCC reviews only those policy 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, and other persons deemed appropriate for such evaluation.

1231.2.10 Exercise area
On the date of inspection, the toilet, wash basin, and drinking fountain positioned adjacent to the
outdoor recreation and exercise area was not “freely” accessible to inmates. The agency has, since
this writing, updated policy and discontinued use of this recreation and exercise space.
1231.2.5 Safety cell
On the date of inspection, two of the safety cells located in the booking area were noncompliant with
this regulation as the padding was torn, tattered, and deteriorating. The agency has, since this writing,
temporarily taken these safety cells offline while awaiting repairs from an outside vendor. Please see
the Physical Plant Evaluation for more information.
Training
According to the most recent Standards and Training for Corrections audit, the Monterey Sheriff’s Office
and court holding facilities are compliant with all relevant regulations and mandates and mitigating
circumstances if applicable.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) Compliance Monitoring
We reviewed the Monterey County Jail and Court Holding facilities and found no violations of the
JJDPA. Please refer to Title 15 Procedures checklist for detailed information.
On February 15, 2022, BSCC staff held an Exit Briefing with your staff. During that briefing, BSCC staff
provided an overview of the biennial inspection and provided technical assistance and best practice
recommendations. BSCC staff reviewed your agency’s noncompliance issues found during the desk
audit and onsite inspection. Your agency provided BSCC staff with a Corrective Action Plan (CAP)
addressing these issues on March 28, 2022; we will respond to the CAP under a separate cover letter.
--
I would like to thank your staff for their assistance and prompt attention to areas that were of concern.
We will continue to work with you as progress is made regarding the outstanding area of
noncompliance. This concludes the 2020/2022 biennial inspection report. I am available to assist as
needed and happy to provide technical assistance when requested. I look forward to continuing to
work together. Please do not hesitate to email me at Kim.Moule@BSCC.Ca.Gov or call (916) 322-
8081 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
