Dear Sheriff Jones:
BIENNIAL INSPECTION, SACRAMENTO COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE, ADULT DETENTION
FACILITIES, PENAL CODE SECTION 6031
During the week of June 4, 2018, the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted the
2016-2018 biennial inspection of the Sacramento County Jails and court holding facilities. The facilities
were inspected for compliance with the Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities, as outlined in
Titles 15 and 24, California Code of Regulations. The inspection consisted of a review of applicable
written policies and procedures governing the operation of the facility, a site visit, and a review of
documentation to verify that regulated practices occur as required.
Sergeants Erik Hobbs, Troy Muhler, and Jason Manning and Deputies Ben Everett, Larry Perry and
Danielle Beard were instrumental in the inspection process and your facilities were well prepared for our
visit.
The complete BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of: this transmittal letter; the Procedures
Checklists outlining applicable Title 15 sections for both custody and court holding facilities; and
individual Physical Plant Evaluations and Living Area Space Evaluations that summarize each facility’s
physical plant configuration. We encourage the practice of maintaining a permanent file for historical
copies of all inspections that would also include documentation of corrections made following the
inspections. This file should be the first point of reference when preparing for all future inspections.
Local Inspections
In addition to a biennial inspection by the BSCC, inspections are required by the County Health Officer
annually and the State Fire Marshal (or designee) biennially. Please consider our report in conjunction
with the reports from the local health officer and the fire authority for a comprehensive perspective of
your facility.

The following issue of non-compliance were noted:
Title 15 Section 1202 Health Service Audits: (all jails) This regulation requires, among other
things, a statistical summary, generated by the jail’s medical provider, of health services provided
to inmates and a report, derived from that summary, from the county health authority to the facility
manager, offering an assessment of the services rendered. The county health officer, their 2017
inspection report, noted non-compliance with this regulation, based, in part, on the inability of the
medical provider to provide a comprehensive statistical report. The health provider has proposed
a remedy, but the county health officer has not yet verified that this point of non-compliance is
corrected.
The individual inspector’s comments and concerns were noted in their local reports, including discussion
of maintenance and housekeeping issues. Refer to original local inspection reports for other details.
BSCC Inspection
Title 24 - Physical Plant
Main Jail: Completed in 1989, the jail is evaluated against the 1980 Title 24 standards.1 The rated
capacity is 2,380 inmates and the jail housed 1,938 inmates on the day of our visit. The facility is
designed as an eight-floor, maximum security facility comprised of single and double cells, plus
intake and transport areas. The jail operates under a court-ordered population cap and never exceeds
its capacity. The facility was clean and serviceable.
The following issue of non-compliance was noted:
Title 24 Section 1231.2.9 Dayrooms: This regulation establishes the minimum standards for
dayrooms and requires no less than 35 square feet of dayroom space for each inmate. Unit
1 Facilities are evaluated against the versions of Title 24 in effect at the time of construction or significant remodel. It is
common for different revisions of Title 24 to be applicable to a single facility.

3W-300 contains 40 double cells and is rated for 80 inmates. On the day of our visit, it
housed 57 inmates. However, a section of the dayroom has been blocked off with cones to
make an area reserved for bunks under enhanced surveillance by mental health staff. Without
the blocked area, the remaining dayroom space is estimated at 1,800 sq. feet, which is too
small for the 57 inmates housed.
Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center (RCCC): The RCCC was opened in 1960 and is evaluated
against Title 24 standards from 1963, 1976, 1980, 1988 and 1994. The facility has a rated capacity
of 1,625 inmates, held in a variety of housing options including single and double cells, dormitories
and the now-obsolete “multiple” configuration. On the day of our inspection, the facility held 1,638
inmates, including 349 inmates housed facilities above their individual capacities. The Bauman
Facility (RBF) was empty and out of service. Without a court order allowing early releases, the
facility tends to house overflow inmates from the Main Jail and it is not unusual for it to exceed its
rated capacity. Considering its age, the facility was clean, and no issues of deferred maintenance
were noted.
The following issues of non-compliance at the RCCC were noted:
Title 24 Section 1231.2.6 Single Occupancy Cells: The regulation establishes the criteria for
single-occupancy cells. When a single-occupancy cell is occupied by more than one inmate, the
facility is non-compliant with this regulation. At RCCC, single cells in the Boone Facility
(CBF), Baird Facility (SBF) and Larson Facility (SLF) have second bunks installed and
consistently occupied.
Title 24 Section 1231.2.8 Dormitories: This regulation establishes criteria for dormitories,
including the space required for each inmate, and the maximum number of inmates allowed in
any single dorm (64). Due to crowded conditions, square footage was lacking in the Honor
Barracks’ C, H, J and K dorms and the entire Blount Facility (KBF). Additionally, Honor
Barracks dorms C, K, H, J, and K all exceeded the maximum permissible count for any dorm
(64 inmates).
Title 24 Section 1231.2.9 Dayrooms: This regulation establishes the minimum requirements for
dayrooms, including the required square footage per inmate (35 square feet). Due to crowding,
available space was lacking in units in the SBF, SLF and Honor Barracks facilities.
Title 24 Section 1231.3.4 Showers: This regulation establishes the minimum shower-to-inmate
ratio to inmates at 1:20. Due to crowding, not enough showers were available in the SLF Facility
(Camellia) and the CBF Facility (Units 300-600).
Carol Miller Justice Center Court Holding: Completed in 1990, this facility is evaluated against the
1986 Title 24 standards. The holding facility is rarely used, and no inmates have been held during
this inspection cycle. No issues of non-compliance were noted.
William R. Ridgeway Court Holding: Completed in 1999, this facility is evaluated against the 1999
Title 24 standards. No issues of non-compliance were noted.

Lorenzo Patino Superior Court Holding: This facility is physically located in the Main Jail and was
established as a separate facility during the 2012-2014 cycle. It is connected to the courtrooms via
hallways. The facility consists of eight holding cells with a non-rated capacity of 78 inmates.
The following issue of non-compliance was noted:
Title 24 Section 1231.2.2 Holding Cell: This regulation establishes the standards for a
holding cell, including the minimum square footage per inmate and available seating. It also
establishes a maximum capacity of 16 inmates in any holding cell, regardless of space and
fixtures. At the Patino court holding facility, cells vary in capacity from seven to sixteen
inmates based, in part, on the square footage required per inmate (10 square feet). Holding
Cell #5 has a non-rated capacity of 16 inmates but held 33 inmates at the time of our
inspection.
Regarding the physical plants, no other issues of non-compliance were noted.
Title 15 Inspection – Operational Review
During the inspection, BSCC staff reviewed applicable policy, procedures, practices and supporting
documentation as indicated.
Policy 2– Policy and procedures for both jails are found in a single consolidated policy manual.
Policy for the court holding facility is found in both the custody policy manual and separate
Operations Orders specific to the courts. The latest revisions were published in 2016. BSCC
reviewed all manuals against relevant regulations and found all required elements present. Please
refer to the Procedures checklists for further information.
Training –The most recent Standards and Training for Corrections (STC) audit (September 2017)
found the agency in full compliance with all training requirements. We interviewed line staff and
found them knowledgeable about emergency procedures, Title 15 standards and related issues.
Custody staff in both the court holding and jail facilities are California Peace Officer Standards and
Training (POST) and Core-trained sheriff’s deputies and academy graduates.
Procedures - BSCC also reviewed a variety of records to ensure that procedures relevant to Title 15
standards matched policy and that all required procedures were being performed within regulated
criteria.
To assess the facility’s staffing levels, BSCC reviewed security logs, shift rosters, incident reports,
and related records which give insight to the facility’s operation.
For the housing units, records of time-sensitive events, including meal and laundry services, safety
checks, recreation movements and non-professional visiting, are hand-written in bound journals.
We noted that safety checks were consistently timely. Out-of-cell time was recorded and met the
required minimum intervals. We reviewed grievances and did not note persistent complaints about
2 BSCC does not review all of your policies and procedures. We only review those policies related specifically to the
applicable regulations included in Title 15, Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities for issues on non-compliance.
We do not “approve” your policies nor do we review them for constitutional or legal issues. We recommend agencies seek
policy review through their legal advisor, risk manager, and other people deemed appropriate.

missed recreation, visits, laundry exchanges or other activities often delayed in understaffed
facilities. Interviews with inmates corroborated our observations. Intake medical screening is
conducted by trained staff and a medical professional assesses all inmates prior to housing.
Supervisory oversight was evident in jail logs and related documents. Grievances were all reviewed
by a supervisor and were accepted for any condition of confinement. Overall, we found no indication
that staffing was insufficient.
Inmates involved in certain high-risk low-incidence events, including those needing sobering cells,
safety cells and restraint chairs, are held in special-use cells and require a more in-depth review. At
the RCCC, inmates needing special-use cell assignments are transferred to the Main Jail.
Regarding the use of specialty cells:
Sobering Cell: Sobering cell logs at the Main Jail revealed timely safety checks and
supervisory oversight. Medical and supervisory interventions were timely. The reason for
placement in the sobering cell was not always related to inebriation, but consistently in response
to impairment (mental health issues or drug involvement.)
Safety Cell: There are three safety cells at the Main Jail, all in the intake area. Safety cells are
used for violent or self-injurious new arrestees requiring mental health intervention. Such
inmates are held in the intake area only until a bed is obtained in a mental health unit on the
housing floors. Title 15 Section 1055 establishes standards for inmates in a safety cell,
including enhanced supervision, food and water offerings and appropriate clothing. BSCC
reviewed a sampling of records for safety cell use and found all regulated actions completed in
a timely manner.
Those inmates held on the housing floors requiring a protected environment were moved to a
safety cell in Intake, or to special-use cells or multi-purpose rooms under the enhanced
surveillance offered to safety cell inmates. The standards established in Title 15 Section 1055
do not apply to inmates housed in other than a safety cell. Therefore, our review of safety cell
records did not include self-destructive inmates held on the housing floors in other than safety
cells.
Use of Restraints: The use of restraints at the Main Jail occurs infrequently, estimated by staff
to be no more than six times per year. Title 15 Section 1058 requires a variety of protections
including enhanced safety checks, protected housing and exercising of extremities. BSCC
reviewed a sampling of records detailing the use of restraints and found all regulated actions
completed in a timely manner.
Operations in the court holding facilities are overseen by Sheriff’s sergeants. Classification and
hazard information from the jail was effectively communicated to transport and court staff.
Remanded arrestees are not mixed with jail inmates prior to classification and medical screening.
Safety checks were timely.
Concerning procedures, no areas of non-compliance were noted at any of the facilities.

COURT HOLDING
Historical Comments: 12/23/2013 – These court holding cells were previously included in the Physical Plant and Living Area Space
Evaluation of the jail. Inmates in the court holding area are supervised by court holding staff. Since the Lorenzo Patino Hall of Justice
and the Sacramento Main Jail are attached, during the 2012-2014 Inspection Cycle, it was decided to separate the court holding from the
jail and create a new CH BSCC# 4117.

There is some lack of clarity in the record that details increased capacity. The records at the BOC can support a rated capacity of 1,815.
Twenty-one beds less than the number of beds installed in housing units. (Medical and Mental Health beds on the second floor are not a
part of the rated capacity: They are considered special use beds). The documentable history is as follows:
• August 10, 1988: the Board Rated Capacity(BRC) of 1,158 plus 64 unrated medical and psych beds, plus 30 unrated beds in
disciplinary isolation.
• November 18, 1988: sheriff’s letter to double bunk 405 single cells.
• January 12, 1989: State Fire Marshal responds by approving 300 persons per floor for floors 3-8. This approval allows a
potential of 1,800 persons on floors 3-8. The November 18, 1988 request would fall short of the 1,800 figure.
• April 12, 1991: letter signed by Jack Shepler, Sacramento City Fire Marshal and James McMullen, State Fire Marshal,
permitting the addition of 30 beds in rated housing, two in unrated medical housing and an additional 222 beds in rated housing.
• In total, approved rated beds are 1,158 + 405 + 30 + 222, or a total of 1,815. (Floors three through eight have 1,836 beds.
Current documentation supports a rated capacity of 1,815. The Board of Corrections has arbitrarily reduced the BRC in module
6E300 and 7W200 to conform to the 1,815 figure. In fact, this reduction could occur anywhere on floors three through eight.
See additional comments at the end of the Living Area Space Evaluation.)
• 1999: The county currently has approval from the Federal District Court to double bunk most cells and has a pilot project from
the BOC to schedule use of the dayroom. The BOC has also allowed the higher BRC.
• 2001: As indicated above, most cells are double bunked. Currently, there are 33 non-rated medical beds (15 on the 2nd floor
west medical unit, 13 on the 2nd floor west psych. unit and five on the 2nd floor east medical housing/Unit 100/special needs
unit) and 20 non-rated disciplinary isolation beds (8th floor west, Pod 400). Board rated capacity 2,380.
• 2008: During the 2006-08 inspection, the rated capacity of the sobering cell in male booking was reduced from 10 to 8 inmates
to correctly reflect the limit established by the regulation.

Historical Comments: 12/23/2013 – This courthouse is attached to the existing Sacramento County Main Jail and at this writing was still
under the ownership/control of the Sacramento County and not the Administrative Office of the Courts. These court holding cells were
previously included in the Physical Plant and Living Area Space Evaluation of the jail. Inmates in the court holding area are supervised
by court holding staff. During the 2012-2014 Inspection Cycle it was decided to separate the court holding from the jail and create a new
CH.
