2016 - 2018 Biennial Inspection – Welfare and Institutions Code Sections 209 and 885
Dear Chief Keene:
From April 9-15, 2018 the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) inspected the following
San Mateo County juvenile facilities:
Facility BSCC #
Youth Services Center (YSC) 7550
Margaret J. Kemp (CK) 7551
Camp Glenwood (CG) 7552
The purpose of these inspections is to assess compliance with Title 15 and Title 24 of the California Code
of Regulations (CCR), Minimum Standards for Juvenile Facilities. Our inspection included a walk-through
of the physical plant, a review of written policy and procedures and analysis of documentation to verify
that practice follows policy. We spoke with custody staff, educational staff, food service staff, health staff
and youth. To prepare your management team for the inspection, BSCC held a pre-inspection briefing
on December 13, 2017.
I appreciate the cooperation and preparation of your administrative team and each unit’s staff. I want to
recognize Institution Services Manger (ISM), Chadie Galera, who was responsible for arranging and
coordinating my inspection visits. ISM Galera is very knowledgeable and a great asset to your
department detention facilities. She assisted at each step by clarifying processes, answering questions
and provided supported documentation. I also would like to extend my gratitude to you, Deputy Chief’s,
Roy Brasil and Richard Hori and Director Sherce Calhoun for attending the out briefing and sharing the
departments future projects as it relates to each facility.
The complete BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of:
• Summary information sheets identifying each facility and listing areas of non-compliance;
• This “transmittal letter”, which summarizes the inspection process and our findings;
• A “procedures” checklist, which outlines applicable Title 15 sections for each facility and provides
more detailed comments related to the regulations (consolidated checklist presents all facilities
on one document);

• The “physical plant evaluations” outlining requirements for design (Title 24, CCR) for each facility;
and,
• The “living area space evaluation,” which summarizes the physical plant configuration for the
detention area in each facility and provides comments related to establishing the Rated Capacity
(RC) for each facility.
Local Inspections:
The BSCC biennial inspection process includes the BSCC inspection and local, specialized inspections
mandated by Title 15, Section 1313 and statutes. Local inspections are conducted by the Fire Marshal
or a designee, County Health Department, building safety personnel, Superintendent of Schools, Juvenile
Court Judge and Juvenile Justice Commission. BSCC gathers those individual reports and includes any
areas of non-compliance in this transmittal letter. See Attachment “A” for a consolidated of dates for all
local reports and evaluations and any non-compliance issues (if applicable).
BSCC Inspection:
Title 15, CCR; Policy, Procedures & Practice
System Wide
This report addresses compliance issues with Title 15 and 24, CCR for the San Mateo County Probation
Department’s Detention Facilities. I will address the facilities in each separate heading. I will also be
addressing my observations and documentations for each facility which led to non-compliance (if
applicable) for a specific Title 15 and 24, CCR section as required by WIC 209 and 885.
Prior to my on-site visit, I reviewed all relevant policy and procedures as well as some of the supporting
documentation to determine compliance with Title 15 regulations. The facility policy and procedure
manual is very well written and contains clear procedures for department staff. I also reviewed several
drafted versions of new/revised policy to ensure continued compliance with Title 15 regulations. Related
details are indicated on the enclosed Procedures checklist. No non-compliance issues were noted.
During the on-site visit, I continued my review of supporting documentation and began evaluating
procedures at each facility and comparing them against policy. Those evaluations include a review of
documentation related to operations including security logs, shift schedules, local inspection results,
classification/housing assignments, incident reports, disciplinary actions, grievance actions and other
records which give insight to the facility’s operations. I also spoke with staff and youth throughout the
facility to gain more knowledge and understanding of each detention facility. Discussions with both
indicate that Title 15 regulations are being consistently adhered to. No non-compliance issues were
noted.
Staffing
One key determination to be made during the inspection process is the adequacy of staffing. Title 15
Section 1321 requires each facility to maintain adequate on-duty staff to ensure the implementation of all
programs and activities as required by regulation. Supervision of youth is the responsibility of correctional
officers, supervised generally by a Divisional Manager. There are 37 extra help Deputy Probation Officers
approved to work overtime at YSC, 25 Deputy Probation Officers at CK and 16 Deputy Probation Officers
at CG. I reviewed security check logs, incident reports and arrestee files to ensure that all required tasks
were completed in a timely and safe manner. I interviewed staff to determine their knowledge of policies,
procedures and to confirm staff training. Everyone I spoke with verified the ongoing training programs,
policies related to life/safety checks, discipline process, response to grievances and use of force. We
found no issues of non-compliance related to staffing.

Health Care
San Mateo County Health System’s Correctional Health Services provides medical treatment for the
juvenile hall and both camps. We spoke with representatives from both medical and mental health staff.
The facility is staffed with medical personnel seven days a week from 7 am to 11 pm. Mental health staff
is also available from 8:00 am – 5: 00 pm Monday – Friday. There are provisions for both medical and
mental health care during off-hours. Medical screenings are performed at intake followed by a more
comprehensive assessment with referrals and immunizations as medically appropriate. Mental health
staff will generally meet with the minor within a half hour of intake during working hours.
School
The San Mateo County Office of Education provides education programs to the youth center. Probation
staff provides security for the school program. Staff escorts youth to and from the classrooms from the
units and remains stationed outside each classroom during the class period. At times, when the weather
is bad or due to security purposes, school will be held in the living units.
All youth are screened, tested and an individual learning plan is developed for each student with the
assistance of the classroom teacher. Daily core curriculum courses of social studies, science, English
and Mathematics are provided to all students, as are electives including family life and Physical
Education.
The Special Education needs are met by one full-time, fully credentialed resource specialist, one full-time
and fully credentialed special class teacher, and two part-time psychologists plus two full-time
instructional assistants who work solely with students toward meeting their special education
individualized education plan goal and objectives.
Youth Service Center (YSC)
Physical Plant
Rated capacity for YSC is 170. The facility is comprised of one 20-bed unit (special management), and
five 30-bed units (general population), an intake unit containing six holding rooms, a program hall, a
dedicated school department with ten classrooms and gymnasium, a medical/dental unit, a control room
and administrative area. Each unit has a small recreation yard. A larger outdoor field/recreation area is
shared by each of the units. We found the facility to be generally clean and in good repair. In the general
living units, graffiti was minimal and we saw no objectionable conditions. On the day of inspection there
were 57 youth in custody.
Programs
Many services and programs are offered at YSC. Probation staff, educational staff, private providers and
community volunteers provide educational, religious and recreational activities and services. Counseling
programs are available including anger management, substance abuse, behavioral management, and
conflict resolution. Other programs offered include fatherhood and gang diversion.
We spoke with several youths during our inspection and confirmed that services occur in accordance
with Title 15 regulations. Youth confirmed that they do not spend excessive amounts of time in their
rooms. The daily activities that the youth described corresponded with schedules posted on each unit.
Staff compile detailed counseling notes for each youth, indicating youth’s behavior and staff’s attempts
to incentivize and promote positive behavior. Youth were aware of who their counselor was and felt that
they could talk with that individual to solve problems. Staff are obviously invested in the youth’s
programming and feel empowered to effect change for youth. Staff’s dedication to the facility’s philosophy
and program is evident.

Margaret J. Kemp Camp – (Girls Camp)
Physical Plant
The camp is located adjacent to the Youth Service Center and has a Rated Capacity of 30. There are
four separate dormitories, three single sleeping rooms, administration building, a school with two
classrooms, a multipurpose/program/recreation/TV area, several outside recreation areas, and a dining
hall/kitchen. The facility has reopened since being closed in 2011 due to low population and budget
constraints. On the day of inspection there were 9 girls in custody and 7 girls committed to the
Empowerment Program. The Empowerment Program serves as a “day camp” program for the girls.
These girls will attend school, eat lunch and participate in program activities.
Programs
The G.I.R.L.S. (Gaining Independence and Reclaiming Lives Successfully) is based on gender-
responsive principles and the restorative justice philosophy that centers on the belief in blending
accountability and treatment to repair harm and to heal personal and interpersonal relationships while
forming positive connections with the larger community. The program strives to build self-esteem and
promote educational life skills while reducing incidents of recidivism. The following services are provided:
Independent Living Program (a weekly class that teaches practical skills such as financial management
and decision making), the Art of Yoga (yoga practice and art projects, three times per week), Girls Circle
(a relationship-based communication model that includes group sharing and problem-solving), “Tool Box”
group (discussion group where girls share the challenges and successes of their recent home pass
experience), Alcoholics Anonymous (on site), Mentoring, Play Writing (conducted by community-based
provider “Each One Reach One”).
Girls Empowerment Program (GEP) is a gender specific program geared towards assisting young women
in their journey of personal growth and healing. The goals of the program are to provide youth with a
supportive, understanding environment and be responsive to the community. As mention above, these
youths are committed by the juvenile court to participate in the program. Youth will attend school from
9:00am – 3:00pm where they will integrate into the camp program with the in-house youth.
Camp Glenwood – (Boys’ Camp)
Physical Plant
The camp is located in the hills of La Honda, California. The camp was constructed in 1961 and has a
Rated Capacity of 40. On the day of inspection there were 15 youth in custody. There are four separate
dormitories, an intake/receiving unit, an administration building, a school with 5 classrooms, a
multipurpose/program/recreation/tv building, a medical examination office, several outside recreation
areas, and a dining hall/kitchen. The camp is utilizing two of the four dormitories due to the low population.
On the day of inspection there were 15 youth in custody.
The facility has continued improving the grounds by replanting flowers and shrubs. Although the facility
shows it’s age the campus is fairly well maintained. The sleeping areas were clean and well organized.
At the time of my visit, the boys were either working in the garden or playing volleyball. The youth
interviewed stated they were busy and felt safe. They also indicated that the staff was stern but fair.
There were no areas of non-compliance identified.
Programs
Staff work with the youth on controlling their impulses and anger, graduating youth from high school or
achieving a GED, and sustaining positive interpersonal relationships. Special services include mental
health and substance abuse counseling as well as gang intervention. The youth participate in meditation
and emotion regulation classes provided by the Mind Body Awareness Project. Boys participate in a
yearly house-building project with Habitat for Humanity, an annual week-long hiking trip, and a holiday
wreath-making business that raises money for activities.
