2018-2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION PURSUANT TO WIC 209 and 885
Chief Sentman:
On April 13, 2020, pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code sections 209 and 885, BSCC staff
completed the 2018/2020 Biennial Inspection of the Orange County Juvenile Hall, Youth Leadership
Academy and Youth Guidance Center via a desk audit. To prepare for this inspection, a pre‐inspection
briefing was held on February 20, 2019.
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.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic and the issuance of statewide and local shelter‐in‐place orders, BSCC
staff were prohibited from traveling and unable to complete on‐site inspections from March 16 through
June 30, 2020, the end of the 2018/2020 biennial inspection cycle.
BSCC staff conducted virtual inspections via desk audit of all facilities originally scheduled for inspection
during this time. Desk audits are comprised of a comprehensive review of all applicable policies and
procedures and documentation (where available). It is noted we were on-site at the juvenile hall when
the travel restriction was implemented and although we were unable to complete many aspects, we
were able to review documentation already available for the scheduled inspection. BSCC staff intend
to conduct comprehensive on‐site inspections of all local detention facilities as soon as travel
restrictions are lifted.
We reviewed your updated Policy and Procedures Manual1; all Local Inspections; annual reviews of
Security and Emergency practices; and, documents and forms used by the agency. The documentation
specific to your high-risk incidents were assessed to ensure compliance with regulation and policy.
1 1 BSCC does not review all of your policies and procedures. We do not “approve” your policies and 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.

The BSCC inspection report consists of this transmittal letter and the attached Title 15 Procedures
checklist. We are including the PHY and LASE for your information only; your staff indicated that there
were no changes to the physical plant since the previous inspection. Compliance is indicated by policy
and/or documentation review. 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, 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; County
superintendent of schools; 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
The Operations, Education and Programming sections of this report will be in general terms for all
facilities, with specific emphasis to individual facilities as noted below.
Operations
As part of our inspection process, we review a sampling of incident reports, grievances, admission and
classification reports, case plans and counseling notes, and disciplinary reports and findings to ensure
compliance with new Title 15 Regulations and to ensure procedures and process were consistent with
your policies. The regulation revisions made in 2019 required agencies to develop, modify and enhance
policies and procedures. The size of the agency and three separate programs created challenges;
however, each team member facilitated the necessary changes to ensure all aspects of regulation
transformed into the day to day operations. There were no policy related concerns at any of the
facilities.
Each program maximizes resources to ensure reports and documentation are reviewed and maintained
for audit purposes. We were able to evaluate a sampling of documentation related to your high-risk
incidents for content, clarity and inclusion of all required elements. Any discrepancies or omissions are
returned for completion and administratively reviewed. This process allows for a succinct and thorough
evaluation of facility operations and revealed youth supervision expectations are compliant with
regulation.
We resolved a few issues with updated forms and as of the writing of this report, no operational
discrepancies were noted. We reviewed facility schedules and found the units operate a full and
complete program of structured and unstructured activities. With decreasing populations and your
noted compliance to PREA staffing levels, youth supervision is intensive. We were unable to interview
staff or agency partners but look forward to doing so when we return for our full, on-site inspection.

Education
The Orange County Office of Education operates the two separate school systems for the facilities: the
Otto J. Fisher School for Juvenile Hall and the Youth Leadership Academy and the Rio Contiquo High
School for the Youth Guidance Center. Upon review of the Education Evaluation, staffing elements
and policy, each on-site program has general education teachers, special education and resource staff
and para-professional staff. Class duration exceeds minimum requirements and the Office of Education
has incorporated post-secondary learning for eligible youth.
Juvenile Hall, the Youth Leadership Academy and the Youth Guidance Center (YGC) offer ROP,
Independent Living instruction and vocational education opportunities. YGC has Safe Schools on-site
to assist youth in transitioning into Community College and enroll/participate in employment
opportunities off-site. Each facility offers GED preparation and traditional high school courses, also
providing services outside the classroom to assist with graduation, post-secondary opportunities and
job readiness.
Programming
Juvenile Hall houses pre-and post- adjudicated youth resulting in short term incarceration. The Youth
Leadership Academy and Youth Guidance Center provide short and long-term programing for male
and female committed youth. Each facility provides an array of programs and services to meet the
youth’s individual needs, based on their case plans and forged objectives. The structured programs
and unstructured recreation activities are facilitated by collaborative partnerships, outside volunteers
and probation staff.
All youth in detention and in the camp setting participate in social awareness programs to address the
behaviors identified at admission, targeting the actions leading to their incarceration. Structured
programs include: Aggression Replacement Therapy; Thinking for Change; Just Beginning, Parenting;
FLOW, Poetry Program; EPIC’s, Effective Corrections Practices; Orange Blossom/Girls, Inc, Girls only
Self Esteem Program; Mind Meditation, Yoga; My Life Choices, Pro-Social Development; Padres
Unidos, Parenting; Functional Fitness; Decision Points, Cognitive Behavior Program; Life Skills; Anger
Management; Conflict Resolution; Moral and Ethical Reasoning; Restorative Justice; Community
Service; NA/AA; Cultural Awareness; Community Council; Gang Intervention; FEAR, Face Everything
and Recover Program; Woodshop Apprentice; Library; and a variety of other recreational activities
provided by volunteers, teaching staff, mental health providers, Safe Schools and probation staff. Each
of the programs and the agency facilitators resonate a pro-treatment approach to working with Orange
County youth. We look forward to our return to the facilities to see the program components in action.
Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards
Our virtual inspection included many communications with facility administrators regarding their
consolidation of department practices into one manual which guide staff and promote expectations.
We provided some technical assistance as it related to the Policy Manual as well as specific forms and
documentation efforts. Each was well received and the assistance from managers to find resolution
was positive. It is these efforts and the well-rounded opportunities for youth that drive a successful
program.

The attached Procedures Checklist provides a detailed overview of the inspection findings. Upon final
review of all documentation, there are no outstanding items of noncompliance at the Orange County
Juvenile Hall, Youth Leadership Academy or Youth Guidance Center. No corrective action is required.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to the physical plant and your rated capacities noted on the attached
Living Area Space Evaluations for each facility remain the same. Each facility has ‘self-capped”
populations based on fewer admissions. On the day of the inspection, Juvenile Hall continued to cap
at 380 (RC: 434); the Youth Leadership Academy caps at 64 (RC: 120); and the Youth Guidance Center
caps at 80 (RC:125).
As of the writing of this report, the new construction project on the grounds of Juvenile Hall, including
a Multi-Purpose area with a gymnasium, two vocational classrooms, two program areas and a
visiting/multi-purpose space, is approximately 12% complete. The current assessment for completion
is August 2021. I look forward to working with you and your team as construction continues and we
are able to attend meetings throughout the build.
Training
The most recent Standards and Training for Corrections audit reports that the Orange County Probation
Department is compliant 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 pleased with the virtual audit findings and operational aspects of the Orange County Juvenile
Hall, Youth Leadership Academy and Youth Guidance Center. We would again like to thank you and
compliment your staff for their dedication, thoroughness and responsiveness during this desk audit
inspection. 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. Please do not hesitate to email me at Elizabeth.gong@bscc.ca.gov or call (916) 324-
9153 if you have any questions.
