2016 – 2018 BIENNIAL INSPECTION 6031 PC & 209 WIC
Dear Chief Price,
On April 3, 2018, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted the
biennial inspection of the La Habra City Jail pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031 for 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 the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) for the secure
detention of minors.
The inspection consisted of a review of applicable policies and procedures governing the
operation of the facility, staff interviews, a review of documentation to verify that your practices
follow your written procedures, and a walk-through of the physical plant.
Sergeant Clint Angle, Sergeant Jenifer Southern and Jailier Aaron Koplas were present during
the inspection and assisted by answering questions and clarifying procedural issues. Their
involvement in the inspection process was extremely valuable. The professionalism and
courtesy extended during the process was appreciated.
The complete BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of: this transmittal letter; the
Procedures Checklist outlining applicable Title 15 sections; the Physical Plant Evaluation
outlining Title 24 requirements for design1 and, the Living Area Space Evaluation summarizing
the detention facility’s physical plant configuration.

In addition to a 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

BSCC Inspection
Physical Plant
Completed in 1962, the La Habra City Jail is inspected as a Type I facility and evaluated using
the 1963 and 1991 Physical Plant Standards. The jail has a rated capacity of 14. With 20 actual
beds, one inmate was in-custody at the time of the inspection. The jail was clean and no issues
of deferred maintenance were evident. No issues of non-compliance with applicable physical
plant standards were identified.
Policies, Procedures and Practices
During the inspection, BSCC staff reviewed applicable policy, procedures, practices and
supporting documentation where necessary for compliance with Title 15 regulations. We paid
particular attention to the security logs, records detailing separation and screening of inmates,
and the levels of training provided to all staff that performs custodial functions. Although not a
compliance issue we must remind the department of one concerns:
