November 5, 2020 Sheriff William Gore San Diego County Sheriff's Department John F. Duffy Administrative Center 9621 Ridgehaven Court San Diego, CA 92123 Dear Sheriff Gore: 2018-2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION SAN DIEGO COUNTY'S COURT HOLDING FACILITIES; PENAL CODE SECTION 6031 On February 19, 2020, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) provided pre- inspection briefings to facility supervisors outlining the proposes, process and necessary documentation needed for the biennial inspection. Staff gave participants a complete preview of the inspections that took place in May 2020. BSCC staff provided applicable checklists and answered any questions. Due to the coronavirus pandemic and the issuance of a statewide shelter-in-place order, the BSCC was unable to complete on-site inspections from mid-March 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. The complete BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of this transmittal letter, the Title 15 Procedures Checklist outlining applicable minimum standards, a Physical Plant Evaluation Outlining Title 24 requirements for design and, a Living Area Space Evaluation summarizing the physical plant configuration and showing the capacity of the facility. Refer to the Title 15 Checklist for indication of compliance status and evidence used to determine compliance. BSCC conducted the 2018-2020 biennial inspection of the following San Diego County court holding facilities during May 2020: North County Superior San Diego Central Courthouse San Diego Juvenile Court Court (Vista) East County Superior Court South County Superior San Diego Hall of Justice (El Cajon) Court (Chula Vista) These inspections were performed 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. The complete BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of: (cid:120) This transmittal letter; 4383+ San Diego CHJ LTR 18-20 Sheriff Gore San Diego County Sheriff’s Office Page 2 (cid:120) The Court Holding Facilities Procedures checklist outlining Title 15 requirements for each of the above facilities; (cid:120) A Physical Plant Evaluation outlining Title 24 requirements for design for each of the above facilities; and (cid:120) A Living Area Space Evaluation summarizing the physical plant configuration of each of the above facilities. Local Inspections In addition to the 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 (Health and Safety Code Sections 101045 and 13146.1). Please consider our report in conjunction with the reports from the County Health Officer and the respective fire authorities for a comprehensive perspective of your facilities. We encourage the practice of maintaining a permanent file for historical copies of all inspections. This file should be the first point of reference when preparing for all future inspections. Health Inspections We have a current health inspection reports for all the above listed facilities. The local health inspector did not identify any non-compliant Title 15 items. Fire and Life Safety Inspections, CCR 15, 1032(c): We have a current fire and life safety inspections for all above listed facilities. BSCC Inspection Title 15 Inspection Prior to the inspection of each of the listed facilities, we reviewed the San Diego Sheriff's Department Court Services Manual, applicable sections of the San Diego Sheriff's Department Custody Division Manual and branch specific policies. Our audit consisted of a review of only those policies and procedures related specifically to the applicable regulations included in Title 15, Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities.1 There were no issues of noncompliance identified during our review of the policy and procedures manuals; our review of pertinent documentation in each of the above facilities found no items of noncompliance. Title 24 Inspection Due to the coronavirus pandemic and the issuance of a statewide shelter-in-place order, there was not a physical walk-through of the facilities. By using the previous inspections of the facilities and through questionnaires completed by facilities’ contacts, it was determined that the holding capacity 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. 4383+ San Diego CHJ LTR 18-20 Sheriff Gore San Diego County Sheriff’s Office Page 3 of all facilities remain unchanged. Additionally, there were no construction, closure, and physical change to any of the facilities. We found no issues of noncompliance with Title 24. Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance In accordance with JJDPA BSCC monitors jail facilities for compliance with one of four core requirements of the Act, Separation of Juveniles from Incarcerated Adults. Minors are not housed in any of the court holding facilities. In the facilities where minors are detained in the facility for court hearings, they are kept separate from adult inmates, and are under the continual supervision of probation officers. No violations of the JJDPA were identified during our review of documentation. Technical Assistance BSCC staff continually offer technical assistance to facility management. This included an immediate review of the inspection and any non-compliance issues. It also included providing information on potential courses of action to prevent non-compliance issues. Corrective Action Plan There are currently no outstanding items of noncompliance. This concludes our inspection report for the 2018-2020 inspection cycle. We would like to thank all staff for the outstanding professionalism, hospitality and courtesy extended during the inspection. Sergeant Joseph Navarro and the entire Court Services Division staff were especially helpful throughout this process.
