BSCC INSPECTION
The biennial inspection consisted of a review of the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office Correctional
Services Operational Orders and relevant supporting documentation provided to the BSCC, along with
an on-site inspection of each jail facility and the William R. Ridgeway Family Relations Courthouse,
Carol Miller Justice Center, and the Lorenzo Patino Hall of Justice Court Holding facilities. All
supporting documentation reviewed has been listed on the Title 15 Checklist.
Title 15, CCR Inspection
Sacramento County Main Jail Inspection:
After review of the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office Correctional Services Operational Orders and
a review of supporting documents for the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office Main Jail, we identified
no items of noncompliance to applicable regulations in Title 15.
Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center Inspection:
After review of the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office Correctional Services Operational Orders and
a review of supporting documents, we determined that the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office Rio
Cosumnes Correctional Center is compliant with all regulations listed in Title 15.
William R. Ridgeway Family Relations Court Holding Inspection:
After review of the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office Correctional Services Operational Orders for
the Court Security Division and a review of supporting documents, we determined that the Sacramento
County Sheriff’s Office William R. Ridgeway Family Relations Court Holding facility is compliant with all
regulations listed in Title 15.
Carol Miller Justice Center Court Holding Inspection:
After review of the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office Correctional Services Operational Orders for

Lorenzo Patino Hall of Justice Court Holding Inspection:
After review of the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office Correctional Services Operational Orders for
the Court Security Division and a review of supporting documents, we determined that the Sacramento
County Sheriff’s Office Lorenzo Patino Hall of Justice Court Holding facility is compliant with all
regulations listed in Title 15.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
Sacramento County Main Jail Inspection:
At the time of this inspection, the BSCC was informed that the Sacramento County Main Jail removed
approximately 36 bunks on the 3rd Floor West housing areas. Also, there was a change in the
identification of beds on the 8th Floor, West High Security Unit, Pod 400. Previously, these 20 beds
were identified for Disciplinary use beds and unrated. These beds are currently utilized as general
population beds, which become an addition to the rated capacity. These changes result in an overall
rated capacity change from 2380 to 2400.
In previous inspections, Cell P-13, had been identified as double cell. At the time of this inspection, it
was used as a safety cell for inmates that needed closer observation due to suicidal thoughts with no
plan to harm themselves. Cell P-13 does not meet the regulations for use as a safety cell as the
windows are too large (refer to Title 24, Section 1231.5 Safety Cell). The space contains a flush ring
and a padded flooring, like what is found in a safety cell. Observation logs are actively maintained for
that cell and well documented. However, the space is now determined to be an unrated space with no
cell type designation.
Based upon the entire Main Jail inspection, there was one area of noncompliance:
1231.2.9 Dayrooms
• 3W-300 High surveillance beds in dayroom. This area reduces the overall usable
square footage of the dayroom which results in an insufficient ratio of dayroom space
to inmate population (1:35).
Please refer to the Physical Plant Evaluation and the Living Area Space Evaluation for the Sacramento
County Main Jail for more information.
Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center Inspection:
Prior to this inspection, the BSCC documentation identified Holding Cell # 3 as a Sobering Cell. At the
time of inspection, BSCC representatives found that the cell floor was not padded and did not meet the
criteria established for a Sobering Cell as identified in Title 24 Minimum Standards for Local Detention
Facilities. However, this space did meet the criteria as a holding cell and is now identified as such.
At the time of inspection, Holding Cell # 2 had a total of 12 inmates which is 3 over the BSCC Rated
Capacity of (9). However, maximum capacity signs were placed above the doors of the three holding
cells indicating a maximum capacity of 15. Origin of the maximum capacity of 15 indicated on the signs
is unknown, but Sacramento County Sheriff’s staff was notified of the BSCC rated capacity of (9).
The RCCC did have areas of noncompliance that are noted below. These noncompliant issues are not
new and have been noted in many previous inspections. There is no immediate safety and security

issues relating to the noncompliant areas, but it does indicate a need for additional housing spaces.
The buildings identified as having noncompliant areas were rated using Title 24 Regulations between
1963 and 1994.
1231.2.8 Dormitories
• Due to crowding, square footage is lacking in Honor Barracks C, H, J and K and the Kevin
Blount Facility (KBF). When the BSCC Rated Capacity is exceeded, dormitories become
non-compliant.
• Title 24 regulations limit capacity of dormitories to 64.

o
Joseph Kiervernagel Facility (North 200, North 300, and North 600).

of noncompliance with Title 24 Minimum Standards.

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.
• 2022: 8 West Pod 400 had 20 non-rated beds (formerly used as disciplinary isolation) now used for all types of housing;
increase in RC by 20 increasing the total RC to 2400.

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.
