SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY JUVENILE HALL AND CAMP PETERSON
BSCC # 7529 AND 7530
Dear Chief James:
The 2016/2018 biennial inspection of the San Joaquin County Probation Department’s Juvenile
Hall and Camp Peterson has been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held on August 7,
2017, and the facilities were inspected on February 20-21, 2018.
A complete Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) inspection report is enclosed
and consists of the following: this transmittal letter; a Title 15 Procedures Checklist, outlining
applicable minimum standards for juvenile detention facilities; A Physical Plant Evaluation,
outlining applicable Title 24 minimum standards; and, the Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE),
summarizing the physical plant configuration and outlining the rated capacity of the facilities.
Please refer to the Title 15 Procedures Checklist for a summary of all relevant minimum
standards, indication of compliance or non-compliance, and information that was used to
determine compliance.
Mandatory Local Inspections
In addition to the biennial inspection, Title 15, Section 1313 and its authorizing statute require
local inspections conducted by the following authorities:
• County Building Inspection by agency designated by the Board of Supervisors;
• Fire authority having jurisdiction;
• Local health officer;
• County superintendent of schools;
• Juvenile Court; and,
• Juvenile Justice Commission.
Results of these inspections are considered as part of this report. The dates of the local
inspections may be found in the Title 15 Procedures Checklist.

Scope of the Inspection
The inspection consisted of a review of the San Joaquin County Policy and Procedures Manual1,
a site-visit to review operations, physical plant and relevant documentation, and interviews with
administration, facility staff, youth and agency partners. During the inspection, we also
evaluated consistency between policy and practice.
Inspection Results
Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards
Upon final review of all documentation, there are no outstanding issue items of non-compliance
with Title 15 at the San Joaquin County Juvenile Hall and Camp Peterson facilities. No corrective
action is required. We provided technical assistance as it relates to your operational process for
documenting dates, times and signatures of staff for specific department forms. In review of
grievances, due process and case plans, we suggested a complete review and for staff to return
a report or form that is not complete. We believe your staff understand the necessary elements
of regulation and importance of audits of youth files and logs; however, forms should always be
complete and inclusive of your staff efforts.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to your physical plant and your rated capacity remains at 179 for
Juvenile Hall and 45 for Camp Peterson. Please see the Physical Plant Evaluation for more
information.
Training
According to the most recent Standards and Training for Corrections (STC) audit, San Joaquin
County Probation is compliant with all relevant regulations and mandates.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) Compliance Monitoring
We reviewed documentation and policy, finding no violations of the JJDPA. Refer to the Title 15
Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
Your overall operations, investment in staff training, and involved youth supervision practices
are enhanced by your commitment to the care of youth. The creation of a youth advocate
position to ensure all youth receive timely responses to grievances and due process, as well as
the promotion of positive, incentive based programming provides youth with tangible approaches
to learning mature and responsible behavior. Youth interviewed acknowledged staff treated them
with respect and if they participated in the routine of each day, the benefits were positive. A few
youths even said, ‘this was like real life,” and they could learn to do this at home. This type of
response reveals your staff are reaching the youth and having a positive influence in their lives.
1 BSCC reviews only those policies and procedures required by and applicable to Title 15, CCR. BSCC staff do
not ‘approve’ policies and procedures or assess them for constitutional or legal issues. Agencies should seek
review through their legal advisor, risk manager, or other persons deemed appropriate for such evaluation.
