2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF SANTA BARBARA COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE
JAILS AND COURT HOLDING FACILITIES, PENAL CODE 6031
Dear Sheriff Brown:
On August 31, 2021, through September 2, 2021, pursuant to Penal Code section 6031.1 and
Welfare and Institutions Code Sections 209 and 885, staff of the Board of State and Community
Corrections (BSCC) conducted the 2020-2022 biennial inspection of the Santa Barbara County
Jails and Court Holding Facilities.
JAILS COURT HOLDING
• Medium Security Facility • Santa Barbara Court Holding Facility
• Main Jail • Lompoc Court Holding Facility
• Santa Maria Court Holding Facility
A pre-inspection briefing was held on May 25, 2021, to discuss the biennial inspection
requirements.
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 staff conducted compliance monitoring pursuant to Welfare and Institutions
Code Section 209(f) for the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA)
for the separation of juveniles from incarcerated adults.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the status of positive cases within the Main Jail’s Inmate
Reception Center (IRC) portion of the jail, BSCC staff could not conduct a walk-through of the
IRC. BSCC staff was able to review live video of the IRC from the supervisor’s office.
The BSCC inspection report consists of this transmittal letter and the attached Title 15
Procedures Checklist (PRO), Adult Jail Physical Plant Evaluation (PHY), and Living Area Space

Evaluation (LASE). Compliance is indicated by policy or documentation review. Please refer to
the Title 15 PRO for a summary of all relevant minimum standards, an indication of compliance
or noncompliance, and information used to determine compliance.
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 facilities.

BSCC INSPECTION
The inspection consisted of reviewing the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office Custody Policy
and Procedure Manual, a site visit to review operations, physical plant and relevant
documentation, and interviews with administration, facility staff, persons incarcerated, and
collaborative partners.
Title 15, CCR Inspection
Our evaluation consisted of reviewing only those policies and procedures related specifically to
the applicable regulations included in Title 15, CCR.1 We identified no areas of noncompliance
during this inspection cycle for the detention and court holding facilities.
Please refer to the Procedures Checklist for detailed information and technical assistance
provided by BSCC staff.
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.

Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to any facility’s physical plant since the last BSCC biennial
inspection.
We found no areas of noncompliance at the detention and court-holding facilities during the
onsite inspections. Although Title 24 regulation requirements regarding ligature were not
adopted until after portions of the Main Jail were constructed, BSCC staff provided technical
assistance during the onsite inspection by suggesting that the agency fill the gaps between the
beds and the wall in the North West Pod Unit.
The Main Jail had a current rated capacity of 615. At your agency’s request, BSCC staff
evaluated the rated capacity of the North West Unit lower cells (Pods A, B, C cells 1-4) and the
North West Restrictive housing cells (1-20) of the Main Jail to increase rated capacity. Before
the evaluation, the lower cells in North West housing and the North West Restrictive housing
cells were rated for single occupancy per the 1982 Title 15 Minimum Standards for Local
Detention Facilities section 1116 Single Occupancy Housing at the time of construction.
After evaluating the requested areas, BSCC staff determined each housing cell can be rated in
the least restrictive standard as a double occupancy cell per the 1986 Title 24 Minimum
Standards for Local Detention Facilities section 1231.2.7 Double-occupancy cells. This will add
40 beds to the Main Jail overall rated capacity. The Main Jail’s new rated capacity is 655.
Please refer to the Physical Plant Checklist and the Living Area Space Evaluation for detailed
information.
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 Jails or Court Holding Facilities and have designated areas
separate from adults at the Court Holding Facilities.
Corrective Action Plan
On September 21, 2021, BSCC staff held an Exit Brief with your staff. During that briefing, BSCC
staff provided an overview of the biennial inspection and provided technical assistance and best
practices. We found no noncompliance issues during the inspection, and your agency is not
required to provide a Corrective Action Plan.
This concludes the 2020-2022 biennial inspection cycle report of the jails, court holding, and
substation facilities. We want to express our gratitude to Lieutenant Shawn Lammer, Lieutenant
Richard Zeph, and Sergeant Jerry Fonseca for their assistance with the documentation and
onsite inspections. We look forward to working with you in the future to provide technical
