2018-2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF SANTA BARBARA COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE JAILS AND
COURT HOLDING FACILITIES, PENAL CODE 6031
Dear Sheriff Brown:
Between November 4, 2019 and November 7, 2019, Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) staff
conducted the 2018-2020 biennial inspection of the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office County Detention and
Court Holding Facilities.
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) and
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 Checklist for compliance status and evidence used to determine compliance.
Prior to completing your agency’s inspection report, BSCC staff received a letter from Commander Kevin Huddle
documenting the Isla Vista Foot Patrol Station (BSCC #5075) is only used as a processing center and the cell doors
remain open and unlocked when arrestees are sitting inside. This facility will be removed from the BSCC Biennial
inspection process. If you and your agency determine to use the facility in the future as a temporary holding facility
with locked cell doors, please notify the BSCC. The facility will still be inspected annually for Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention Act compliance (JJDPA).
LOCAL INSPECTIONS
In addition to the biennial inspection by the BSCC, inspections are also required annually by the County Health
Officer and biennially by the State Fire Marshal or an authorized representative (Health and Safety Code Sections
101045 and 13146.1). 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 facility. Each of the local inspections
were current for the Main Jail and the Minimum Security Facility. On the day of their inspections, the court holding
facilities could not produce documentation for their biennial fire inspections and had local Medical/Mental
inspections that were not completed within the annual requirements. Lieutenant Zeph informed BSCC staff he is
working on correcting the issues with the local inspections and will provide the documentation to the BSCC when
they have been completed.

BSCC INSPECTION
Title 15, CCR Inspection
The inspection consisted of a review of policies and procedures related specifically to applicable Title 15, CCR
sections1, a site visit to review operations, physical plant and relevant documentation, and interviews with
administration, facility staff, inmates, and collaborative partners.
The following items of noncompliance with Title 15, CCR were identified; please refer to the Procedures Checklist
for detailed information and technical assistance:
Detention Facilities
Main Jail
Title 15, Section 1057 Use of Restraints
During the review of documentation, BSCC staff determined the agency is noncompliant with this
regulation due to not routinely documenting hourly continued retention when inmates are placed in a
restraint system. It should be noted the agency only had two restraint chair placements during this rating
period.
Court Holding Facilities
Santa Barbara, Lompoc and Santa Maria Court Holding Facilities
Title 15, Section 1032(a) Fire Suppression Preplanning
On the day of inspection, BSCC staff determine the agency to be noncompliant with this regulation due to
not being able to produce documentation the local fire department has approved their fire suppression
plan.
Title 15, Section 1032(c) Fire Suppression Preplanning
On the day of inspection, BSCC staff determine the agency to be noncompliant with this regulation due to
not being able to produce the documentation for their biennial fire prevention inspection.
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
The Physical Plant Evaluation of the Main Jail was changed to annotate your agency’s request to change sobering
cells to nonrated Observation cells and the closure of Basement Unit 3. Your past BSCC inspection reports noted
noncompliance of the use of sobering cells due to being used as Observation cells per your agency’s policy. This
change in sobering cell designation now reflects you are compliant with regulations. The closure of Basement Unit
3 changes the Main Jail’s BSCC rated capacity from 647 to 615.
No changes were made to the physical plant of any other facilities during this rating cycle. There are outstanding
items of noncompliance with Title 24 minimum standards. Please see the Living Area Space and Physical Plant
Evaluations for detailed information.
Main Jail
Title 24, Section 1231.2.8 Dormitories
On the day of inspection, the facility was noncompliant with this regulation due to several modules, listed
on the Physical Plant Evaluation, were over BSCC rated capacity.
Title 24, Section 1231.2.9 Dayrooms
On the day of inspection, the facility was noncompliant with this regulation due not having adequate seating
for all inmates assigned in modules that were over rated capacity.
Exit Brief
BSCC staff provided an Exit Brief with your supervising staff on November 4, 2019 to discuss the findings of your
biennial inspection. During the brief, BSCC staff provided technical assistance by explaining the importance of
conducting an annual ligature review of all areas accessible to inmates and suggested developing a maintenance
plan on correcting areas or fixtures that may be used as ligature points by inmates.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring
The BSCC monitors local detention facilities for compliance with the JJDPA. Minors are not held at any of the
Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office County Detention Facilities and have designated areas separate from adults
at the Court Holding Facilities.
