2018-2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION PURSUANT TO WIC 209 and 885
Dear Chief Baptista:
This letter is to advise you that the 2018/2020 biennial inspection of the Napa County
Probation Department’s Juvenile Hall has been completed, pursuant to Welfare and
Institutions Code Section 209 and 885. A pre-inspection briefing was held on February 28,
2019, and the facility was inspected on October 28-29, 2019. Facility Superintendent Marlon
Washington, as well as his staff and collaborative partners, made the inspection process
seamless and represented the facility and their respective agencies in an exemplary manner.
We appreciate the time and energy spent preparing for, organizing and participating in the
inspection, especially given the amount of documentation requested.
The complete Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) inspection report is
enclosed and consists of: this transmittal letter; the Title 15 Procedures checklist outlining
Title 15 requirements for both facilities; a Physical Plant Evaluation checklist outlining Title
24 requirements for the design of the facilities, and; a Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE)
summarizing the physical plant configuration and showing the rated capacity of each facility.
Local Inspections
In addition to the biennial inspection by the BSCC, Title 15, Section 1313 and statute also
require local inspections from the following: county building inspector or person
designated by the Board of Supervisors; fire authority having jurisdiction; local health
officer; county Superintendent of Schools; Juvenile Court; and the Juvenile Justice
Commission. Results of those inspections are considered a part of this report and the
dates of the local inspections may be found in the accompanying Procedures Checklist.
There are no compliance issues relating to your local inspections.
Inspection Scope
The inspection included a review of the Napa County Juvenile Hall Policy and Procedure
Manual. Our audit consisted of a review of only those policies and procedures related
specifically to the applicable regulations outlined in Title 15, Minimum Standards for
7357 Napa:18-20

Juvenile Facilities1 and verification that the complete manual is compliant with Regulation
1324, Policy and Procedures Manual. After the review of the manual, we reviewed
documentation to assure that practice and policies are consistent with Title 15. We
followed that review with a physical plant tour and interviews with administration, facility
staff, collaborative partners and youth.
Inspection Results
Operations
We reviewed incident reports, grievances, admission/classification documentation,
separation/room confinement incident reports and disciplinary reports/findings to ensure
compliance with newly implemented Title 15 Regulations and to ensure procedures and
process were consistent. Although some documentation revealed minor issues with
consistency, overall the forms and practices have been improved through administrative
audit to show a pattern and practice of compliance with both policies and Title 15.
We interviewed facility staff and collaborative partners including probation, medical,
mental health, and educational staff. The purpose was to assess the level of
communication and collaborative management of youth. Each noted a positive
relationship and a true partnership between staff, administration, teachers, medical, and
mental health staff to best meet the needs of all youth in the facility. We observed unit
and facility movement, exercise, and dayroom activities, which revealed a busy, full, and
structured schedule. Staff were professional and caring.
With the implementation of significant changes to Title 15 regulations this cycle, it is
important to note the Napa County Probation Department was ready for inspection and
vested in the process to ensure youth are receiving the benefit of those changes. The
sincerity of providing programs and treatment was well documented, as was the follow up
with partners and staff. Interventions and response to high risk situations were
appropriate. The process of discipline due process and grievances appeared fair.
Incidents of separation and room confinement, although there were very few this cycle,
were consistent with regulations. Youth interviewed indicated staff were genuine and
reasonable in all aspects of their interactions.
Education
The Napa County Office of Education operates the Crossroads School in the facility.
Staffing includes two full time general education teachers, one of which is a certified

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.

special education resource teacher, one IEP Coordinator through the Napa Valley Unified
School District, and they are pending hiring a para-professional staff. Class duration
meets minimum requirements and teachers routinely stay beyond the end of the school
day to assist youth with tutoring for credit recovery. Two students graduated from high
school while in custody during the 2017-2018 school year.
Teachers and Office of Education staff work with probation staff in re-entry planning to
ensure youth are continuing educational opportunities. The school resource staff work
with graduated youth to enroll in and register for community college with the use of
chrome books for online attendance. The school and probation are working to make this
available to more youth, with an opportunity for dual enrollment. Additionally, school staff
facilitate two vocational programs: California Career Zone for employment opportunities
and IXL, an online Math program to enhance math skills for independent living
opportunities. The staff also provide lessons in art, literature, poetry and coding. The
school program is accredited through the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
Programming
The facility houses pre-and post- adjudicated youth, providing required programing for
those youth ordered into custody. The facility plans to operate a commitment program,
the New Horizons Academy, in 2020. Currently, youth are provided a wide array of
services offered through collaborative partnerships, outside volunteers and probation
staff. Individualized case plans are completed for these youth with specific goals and
objectives for their stay. All youth participate in programming that includes social
awareness programs with a focus on making positive behavior changes to address the
behaviors leading to their incarceration.
Structured programs include: Aggression Replacement Therapy; Arts Appreciation; Big
Brothers/Sisters; Carey Guides which focus on identified risks; Conflict resolution;
Cognitive behavior Interventions through the Change Company; Culinary Program;
Debate program; Documentary night programs; Drug and Alcohol Counseling via ALDEA;
Financial Awareness; Gang Awareness; Life Skills; Mindfulness; Music Appreciation;
Nimbus Arts; Parenting Skills and Supports (COPE); Peer Mentoring; Pet Therapy;
Thinking for a Change; and other programs facilitated by teachers and staff
The facility emphasizes positive school, work, and unit behavior through their structured
schedule and behavior programming options, which focus on reinforcing positive behavior
with consistent staff responses to negative behavior. This provides for clear expectations
of youth behavior. The staff support natural consequences so that youth may learn from
mistakes. The youth interviewed were hard pressed to think of anything they would
change in the facility, indicating they were treated fairly and respectfully by staff.

Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards
During our visit, we offered technical assistance and made best-practice
recommendations to your management team to assist or enhance operations for future
compliance inspections, given the changes to regulations this cycle. Several procedures
and policy matters were discussed and edited prior to the completion of this letter. Those
efforts are appreciated. The attached Procedures Checklist provides a detailed overview
of the inspection findings. Upon final review of all documentation and upon the conclusion
of this report, we find the Napa County Juvenile Hall is has no issues of non-compliance
with all Title 15 Regulations and there is no corrective action required.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to the physical plant and your rated capacity remains at
60. On the day of the inspection, the population was 13, ten youth in detention and three
youth in post-commitment programming.
Although you are a pilot county for SB 1004 and had previously dedicated the Merit Unit
for housing the transitional age youth participants, you have removed the in-custody
portion to that program and are actively moving forward with a camp designated program,
New Horizons Academy, in 2020. We look forward to working with you in this endeavor
to provide long-term treatment and rehabilitative services for Napa County youth.
Training
The most recent Standards and Training for Corrections audit reports that the Napa
County Probation Department is in compliance with all relevant regulations and
mandates.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring
There have been no violations of JJDPA this inspection cycle and no areas of non-
compliance were noted.
We are very impressed with the overall operation and administration of the Napa County
Juvenile Hall. We would again like to thank you and compliment your staff for their
dedication, thoroughness and responsiveness. You have every reason to be proud of
your managers and their staff. They are doing an outstanding job in caring for the youth
in their care. This concludes our 2018-2020 inspection report. We are available to assist
as needed and are always happy to provide technical assistance when requested. We
look forward to continuing to work together, especially as you move forward with the New
Horizons Academy.
