BSCC Inspection
Physical Plant:
Completed in 1974, the Newport Beach City Jail is inspected as a Type I facility and evaluated using the
1963 and 1992 Physical Plant Standards. With a Rated Capacity of27, one male inmate was in-custody at
the lime orlhe inspection. Thejail was clean and appeared well maintained. No issues arnon-compliance
with applicable physical plant standards were identified.
Policy, Procedures and Practice:
During the inspection, BSCC stafr reviewed applicable policy, procedures, practices and supporting
documentation where necessary. We informed your staff that there is a recently updated version of Title
15 minimum standards and that the facility should go through the new standards to ensure that the facility
will remain in compliance with their policy and procedures manual. Doclimentation review included
training records, daily/monthly inspections, receiving screening forms and safety checks. No issues of non
compliance with Title 15 standards were identified.
Juvenile Inspection:
We reviewed policy, procedures, practice and supporting documentation related to the requirements of Title
15 Article 9 - Minors in Custody in a Law Enforcement Facility and WIC Section 207.I(d). Minors in
non-secure detention are held outside the secure perimeter in a common area. BSCC is the designated
compliance monitoring agency for the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA), and is
authorized by Welfare and Institutions Code §209(f) to inspect facilities that may detain minors in secure
detention. There were no violations noted.
We continue to encourage management oversight related to the detention of minors for compliance with
WIC Section 207.I(d) and Title 15, Article 9 regulations to maintain suitability for the secure confinement
of minors in law enforcement f~lcilities.
This concludes our inspection report for the 20 16-20 18 inspection cycle. We would like to thank your staff
