Historical Note: Previous to the 2008-2010 Inspection Cycle, a Truckee Superior Court holding cell was included on the Truckee
Substation LASE and was part of the inspection of the substation jail. However, the court is a stand-alone building with a separate
address. The cell in question is within a non-secure perimeter and used for its restroom and attorney interview space only. As a result,
the cell was removed from this LASE and no new BSCC numbered facility was established for the court since it does not have a secure
perimeter.
*T = Toilets; U = Urinals; W = Wash Basins; F = Fountains; S = Showers in unit; If "Total RC" appears in brackets ( ), it is not part of
the facility's rated capacity. "+" indicates that capacity includes prorated air space from adjacent areas.
