Dear Chief James:
SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY JUVENILE HALL AND CAMP PETERSON FACILITY
BSCC # 7529 and 7530
2018-2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION PURSUANT TO WIC 209 and 885
Dear Chief James:
This letter is to advise you that the 2018/2020 biennial inspection of the San Joaquin
County Juvenile Hall and Camp Peterson Facilities has been completed, pursuant to
Welfare and Institutions Code Section 209 and 885. A pre-inspection briefing was held
on May 2, 2019, and both facilities were inspected on December 3-6, 2019. Deputy Chief
Probation Officer Tamika Nelson and Assistant Deputy Chief Probation Officer Shannon
Gonzalez, as well as their staff and collaborative partners, made the inspection process
seamless and represented the facility and their respective agencies in an exemplary
manner. We appreciate the time and energy spent preparing for, organizing and
participating in the inspection, especially given the amount of documentation requested.
The complete Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) inspection report is
enclosed and consists of: this transmittal letter; the Title 15 Procedures checklist outlining
Title 15 requirements for both facilities; a Physical Plant Evaluation checklist outlining
Title 24 requirements for the design of the facilities, and; a Living Area Space Evaluation
(LASE) summarizing the physical plant configuration and showing the rated capacity of
each facility.
Local Inspections
In addition to the biennial inspection by the BSCC, Title 15, Section 1313 and statute also
require local inspections from the following: county building inspector or person
designated by the Board of Supervisors; fire authority having jurisdiction; local health
officer; County Superintendent of Schools; Juvenile Court; and the Juvenile Justice
Commission. Results of those inspections are considered a part of this report and the
dates of the local inspections may be found in the accompanying Procedures Checklist.
There are no compliance issues relating to your local inspections.

Inspection Scope
The inspection included a review of the San Joaquin County Juvenile Facility’s Policy and
Procedure Manual. Our audit consisted of a review of only those policies and procedures
related specifically to the applicable regulations outlined in Title 15, Minimum Standards
for Juvenile Facilities1 and verification that the complete manual is compliant with
Regulation 1324, Policy and Procedures Manual. After the review of the manual, we
reviewed documentation to assure that practice and policies are consistent with Title 15.
We followed that review with a physical plant tour and interviews with administration,
facility staff, collaborative partners and youth.
Inspection Results
Operations
We reviewed numerous incident reports, grievances, admission/classification documents,
separation/room confinement incident reports/forms and disciplinary reports/findings to
ensure compliance with newly implemented Title 15 Regulations and to verify procedures
and process were consistent. The audit concluded the practices align with regulation. We
found inconsistencies with safety checks and learned recent staffing changes disrupted
your internal review to ensure compliance with random and varied checks while youth
were in their room. Facility administrators were tasked to audit the pipe checks each shift,
comparing the electronic check to video, for one month. Although there continues to be
late checks, a process to hold staff accountable and emphasize the monumental
importance of timely checks has been initiated and the checks have improved. This
process will continue and we will re-visit in June of this year.
As part of our operational review, we interviewed facility staff and collaborative partners
including probation, medical, mental health and educational staff. We found the
relationships consistent with the care of youth in the facilities and communication between
partners effective. Our observation was that agency partners were engaged and
professional with both staff and youth. We found your treatment meetings responded to
the youth needing intervention and that whenever necessary, the team would come
together.
Medical staff oversee the jail which is adjacent to the facility, allowing for emergency
response by phone to articulate the need for urgent response or review the following day.
Additionally, with full medical coverage seven days per week, Intake Medical screens are
completed day of or day following admission. This enhances services to your youth
population. Behavioral Health services your population during non-traditional hours and
are also on site each day. They respond to high-risk or critical incidents and are available
for diffusing situations with you. These partnerships are beneficial to youth and staff.
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.

We were able to observe unit and facility movement, programming and recreational
activities, classroom activities, and meals, all of which revealed a busy but structured
schedule. Staff were engaged in communication with youth and oversight of operational
movements, ensuring the daily routine was met with an understanding of the ups and
downs involved in youth behaviors. They responded professionally and with care.
Education
The San Joaquin County Office of Education (SJOE) operates the Cruikshank School in
both facilities. Staffing includes eight general education teachers, one special education
resource teacher and aide, two transitional specialists, one counselor and one CTE
teacher that works with youth on life skills and development. Class duration meets
minimum requirements and some teaching staff are actively involved in youth extra-
curricular education. This includes a class on Life Management, a new program called
Graduation by Exploration (GBE) and assistance with tutoring youth enrolled in Delta
College.
The principal hopes to bring new innovative programs to the youth, including ‘Comeback
Kid,’ a program for non-traditional diplomas (career tech) and an aftercare program where
the district follows kids into the community post-release. Staff routinely stay beyond the
end of the school day to assist any youth with tutoring for credit recovery.
Programming
The facilities work with short and long term committed youth, ensuring they have the best
tools while in custody to develop a better opportunity for success as they exit the program.
Long-term detention for high-risk youth and those committed to Camp Peterson are
afforded every opportunity to complete education and personal goals. The treatment
focused programs promote wellness and emotional confidence through their positive and
incentive based system of behavior modification. Staff and agency partners set clear
expectations, allowing the youth to set their own objectives and plans.
Structured programs include: Aggression Replacement Training (ART); Cognitive
Behavior Groups (CBG) with a focus on behavior self-assessment; Girls Moving On, a
gender specific intervention plan; Seeking Safety; Peace Keepers; Human Trafficking
without Permission; Youth for Christ; Substance/Alcohol Abuse Treatment and Education,
Religious Programming, Nutrition Education and HIV/Aids Education. Camp Peterson has
enhanced programming that includes: Advanced Skill Training, Booster-Relapse-Reentry
services via the UCCI; Thinking for a Change; Career Tech Programs; Youth Creative
Writing Lyrics Program; Job Readiness; Camp Council; and NOBLE, the National
Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, which is a leadership program. Lastly,
San Joaquin Behavioral Health provide individual and crisis services to all youth.
The facility emphasizes positive school, work and unit behavior through their structured
schedule and behavior programming options, which focus on reinforcing positive behavior
with consistent staff responses to negative behavior. This PBIS model, Positive Behavior

Intervention and Supports, provides clear expectations of youth behavior. The staff
support natural consequences so that youth may learn from mistakes.
Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards
During our visit, we offered technical assistance and made best-practice
recommendations to your management team to assist or enhance operations for future
compliance inspections, given the changes to regulations this cycle. Several procedures
and policy matters were discussed and edited prior to the completion of this letter. Those
efforts are appreciated. The attached Procedures Checklist provides a detailed overview
of the inspection findings. Upon final review of all documentation and upon the conclusion
of this report, we find the San Joaquin County Juvenile Hall and Camp Peterson are
compliant with Title 15 Regulations.
As mentioned, we will review safety checks for continued compliance prior to the end of
the cycle.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to the physical plant and your rated capacity remains at
179 in Juvenile Hall and 45 for Camp Peterson. On the day of the inspection, the
population was 69 youth in detention and 21 youth in Camp Peterson.
Training
The most recent Standards and Training for Corrections audit reports that the San
Joaquin County Probation Department is in compliance with all relevant regulations and
mandates.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring
There have been no violations of JJDPA this inspection cycle and no areas of non-
compliance were noted.
We are very impressed with the overall function and operation of San Joaquin County
Juvenile Hall and Camp Peterson programs. We would again like to thank you and
compliment your staff for their dedication, thoroughness and responsiveness to our
process and interruption of operations. Your managers and their staff are doing an
outstanding job in caring for the youth in their care.
This concludes our 2018-2020 inspection report. We are available to assist as needed
and are always happy to provide technical assistance when requested. We look forward
to continuing to work together.
