BSCC INSPECTION
Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards
The inspection consisted of a review of policies and procedures related specifically to applicable
Title 15, CCR sections1, a site visit to review operations, a physical plant evaluation, a review of
relevant documentation, and interviews with administration staff, facility staff, inmates and
collaborative partners. Please see the procedures checklists for detailed information.
The following items of noncompliance with Title 15, CCR were identified:
Title 15, §1280 Facility Sanitation, Safety and Maintenance
San Diego Men’s Central Jail
George Baily Detention Center
East Mesa Detention Center
During the onsite inspection, BSCC staff observed plumbing, sewage, and hot water supply
issues at the above noted facilities.
1 BSCC reviews only those policy and procedures required by, and applicable to, Title 15, CCR. BSCC staff do not
“approve” 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.

Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to any of the facilities’ physical plant, the rated capacity for each
facility remains:

Las Colinas Women’s Facility 1216
South Bay Detention Facility 306
George Bailey Detention Facility 1380
East Mesa Re-Entry Facility 760
Vista Detention Facility 807
Facility #8 200
Please see the Physical Plant Evaluation for each facility for detailed information. The following
items of noncompliance with Title 24 minimum standards were identified:
1231.2.2 Temporary Holding Cell or Room
San Diego Men’s Central Jail
These cells were observed to contain more than 16 inmates on the date of inspection.

Double occupancy cells and dormitories in the facilities listed above are equipped with triple
bunks. On the dates of inspection, many of these cells were occupied by three inmates. The
square footage of floor space along with fixtures to include toilets, washbasins, and showers
does not support the number of occupants.

Las Colinas Women’s Facility
On the date of inspection, BSCC staff observed plastic “temporary beds or boats” being used
and stored for use in the above facilities. These temporary beds do not conform to Title 24
standards.
Training
According to the most recent Standards and Training for Corrections audit, the San Diego
County Sheriff’s Department is in compliance with all relevant regulations and mandates and
mitigating circumstances if applicable.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) Compliance Monitoring
We reviewed the San Diego Type II, Adult Jail Facilities, and found no violations of the JJDPA.
Please refer to Title 15 Procedures checklist for detailed information.
CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN
On November 16, 2021, BSCC staff held an Exit Briefing where staff from your department were
provided with an Initial Inspection Report outlining items of noncompliance. During that briefing,
BSCC staff provided an overview of the biennial inspection and the Enhanced Inspection
Process, provided technical assistance, and best practice recommendations.
Your agency provided BSCC staff with a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) addressing these issues
on December 14, 2021; all items of noncompliance have been corrected with the exception of
the continued use of triple bunks that are not supported by the current infrastructure of your jail
facilities including floor space, and the number of available toilets, washbasins and showers.
The CAP received stated that with the completion of the Rock Mountain Detention Facility in
Spring 2022, bed space will become available that will allow for renovations to existing facilities.
This process will eventually result in an increase in available bed space. Throughout this
process, we will evaluate options for transitioning away from triple bunks in areas lacking
adequate fixtures or square footage to support their use. BSCC staff will continue to monitor
your progress on the above referenced project.
