SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE BIENNIAL INSPECTION, 6031 PC and
209 WIC
Dear Sheriff Parkinson:
On June 11-14, 2019, the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted the
2018-2020 biennial inspection of the San Luis Obispo Main Jail, Honor Farm and the Court
Holding Facilities. A pre-inspection briefing was held on March 21, 2019.
Pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031, this inspection was performed to determine compliance with
the Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities as outlined in Titles 15 and 24, California
Code of Regulations (CCR). In addition, BSCC conducted compliance monitoring pursuant to
Welfare and Institutions Code Section 209(f) for the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency
Prevention Act (JJDPA).
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
Procedures Checklist for indication of compliance status and evidence used to determine
compliance.
LOCAL INSPECTION:
In addition to a biennial inspection by the BSCC, inspections are required annually by the
County Health Officer and biennially by the State Fire Marshal/local fire authority pursuant to
Health and Safety Code §101045 and §13146.1 respectively.
All fire and local Health inspections are current and all concerns/compliance have been addressed.
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. Local inspection
reports are forwarded to your office under a separate cover.

BSCC INSPECTION:
Title 15 Policies, Procedures, and Practices
The inspection consisted of a review of the San Luis Obispo Sheriff’s Office Custody and Court
Holding Policies and Procedures Manual1, a site visits to review operations, physical plant and
relevant documentation, and interviews with administration, facility staff, inmates and
collaborative partners. Please refer to the Procedures Checklist for detailed information. We found
the following non-compliances:
• Section 1056, Use of the Sobering Cell. This regulation limits the use of the sobering cell
to only inmates who are a threat to their own safety or the safety of others due to their state
of intoxication. Disruptive, unruly or suicidal inmates are often held in the sobering cells
regardless of their state of intoxication.
Title 24 Physical Plant
County Jail
The older section of the jail was constructed under the 1963 Title 24 Regulations. The facility was
expanded on multiple occasions and those areas were inspected under the applicable regulations
that were in place at the time each was constructed. As a result, the 1986, 1988, 2001 and 2005
regulations are also included in this inspection. With a rated capacity of 639 611 inmates were in
custody on the day of the inspection. We found the following non-compliances:
• Section 470A.2.8, Dormitories. The West Dormitories 700, 800 and R-Deck Dormitory
containing more bunks than their rated capacity.
Honor Farm
The Men’s Honor Farm provides the majority of educational, vocational, and program space. The
men’s dormitories at the Honor Farm were constructed under the 1994 Title 24 Regulations. The
female dormitory was relocated to the newest women’s dormitories housing, 201 -203. No area
of non-compliance was noted.
Court Holding Facility
The court holding facility was opened in 1982 and is inspected against the 1980 Title 24 Standards.
The facility has space for 77 arrestees in its nine holding cells. No compliance issues were noted
related to the physical plant.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) Compliance Monitoring
In accordance with the 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
at any of the facilities.
1 BSCC does not review all policies and procedures. We 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.
