BOARD OF STATE AND COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS BIENNIAL INSPECTION
WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTIONS 209 AND 885
Dear Chief Heitman:
On May 15, 16, and 17, 2018, Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) staff conducted the
2016-2018 biennial inspection of the Santa Barbara County Probation Department’s Susan Gionfriddo
Juvenile Justice Center, AKA Santa Maria Juvenile Hall (SMJH) and the Los Prietos Boys Camp (LPBC)
as required by Welfare and Institutions Code Sections 209 and 885. This inspection was conducted to
determine compliance with the Minimum Standards for Juvenile Facilities as outlined in Titles 15 and 24
of the California Code of Regulations and the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act
(JJDPA).
Inspection Scope:
The inspection consisted of a review of applicable policies and procedures governing the operation of the
facility, a review of local inspections required by relevant statutes and Title 15, Section 1313, and a site
visit, which included a review of the physical plant. We also interviewed facility staff, partnering staff,
and youth during our visit.
Probation Managers Wendy Stanley and Kristina Brumbaugh and Supervising Deputy Probation Officers
Erin Cross and Alejandra Ochoa were instrumental during the visit, providing information and background
data, clarifying procedural issues, and managing all records. As in the past, each facility and staff were
well prepared for our visit.
The complete BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of:
• Transmittal letter;
• Title 15 Procedures checklist, outlining Title 15 requirements for the Juvenile Hall and the Juvenile
Commitment Facility;
• Physical Plant Evaluation, outlining Title 24 requirements for the design for both the Juvenile Hall
and the Juvenile Commitment Facility; and
• Living Area Space Evaluation, summarizing the physical plant configuration of both the Santa
Maria Juvenile Hall and the Los Prietos Boys Camp.

Local Inspections
In addition to the biennial inspection by the BSCC, Title 15, Section 1313 and statutes also require
inspections from the following: county building inspector or person designated by the Board of
Supervisors; fire authority having jurisdiction;1 local health officer;2 county superintendent of schools;
juvenile court and the juvenile justice commission. 3 Results of those inspections are considered a part of
this report. The dates of the local inspections may be found in the accompanying Procedures Checklist.
There were no areas of noncompliance.
We encourage the practice of maintaining a permanent file for historical copies of all inspections. This
file should be the first point of reference when preparing for all future inspections.
Title 15 Inspection
During our inspection of the Santa Maria Juvenile Hall and Los Prietos Boys Camp, we reviewed the
respective policies and procedures manuals. Our audit consisted of a review of only those policies and
procedures related specifically to the applicable regulations included in Title 15, Minimum Standards for
Juvenile Facilities.4 On the day of the inspection, we discussed several policies and procedures with staff
and suggested edits for clarity and specificity. All agreed-upon changes were completed prior to the
submission of this report. There are no issues of noncompliance in our review of the Santa Maria Juvenile
Hall and Los Prietos Boys Camp Policies and Procedures manual.
We also reviewed pertinent documentation to ensure that practices are consistent with their own policies
and Title 15. This review found that practice conforms to policy and there were no issues of
noncompliance. For further information, please see the accompanying Procedures Checklist.
During our tour of the facility, we reviewed: Shift Logs; youth files; incident reports; monthly inspection
reports; fire drills; admittance, detention and classification information; assessments and plans;
grievances; facility schedules; use of force and use of restraints and discipline documentation. We also
talked with staff and youth throughout the facility. Their interviews indicated that Title 15 regulations are
being consistently followed.
Areas of Concern:
At the time of the inspection, we were unable to determine compliance with certain documentation.
Specially, the documentation failed to prove youth were receiving their minimum recreation time per day.
Following our inspection, the SMJH took immediate steps to address our concerns regarding youth
recreation time received. First, they reviewed records and practices and reviewed video tapes. Then on
May 21, 2018, Supervising Probation Officer Alejandra Ochoa sent out a corrective email to all staff
1 Health and Safety Code Section 13146.1(a) and (b).
2 Health and Safety Code Section 101045.
3 Welfare and Institutions Code Section 229.
4 BSCC does not review all your policies and procedures. We do not “approve” your 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.

regarding documenting youth movement to accurately reflect recreation and exercise times. On June 13,
2018, a meeting was held with all Senior Deputy Probation Officer SDPO’s to discuss and review the
newly created unit log sheet which tracks the movement of the youth throughout the day. On June 19,
2018, a final meeting was held with Supervisor Ochoa and all Senior Officers in which the new
documentation process was again discussed and they were given a directive of ensuring the times of
recreation and exercise, were completed and logged prior to the end of each shift. Also, the (SDPO) is
now tasked with reviewing and confirming the accuracy of unit logs before the end of each shift.
On August 31, 2018, Supervisor Ochoa submitted ten samples of their facility end of the shift reports.
Each sample reviewed clearly showed the youth were receiving the minimum recreation hours. In some
cases, the documentation showed that youth received more than the minimum hours required. After this
review, we are satisfied that the youth at SMJH are receiving the required recreation time and the facility
is in compliance with this regulation. There were no other areas of concern and no issues of noncompliance
within the Los Prietos Boys Camp.
Title 24 Inspection
Santa Maria Juvenile Hall: The SMJH has a rated capacity of 140 youth. There were 45 boys and 5 girls
for a total of 50 youths in juvenile hall custody on the day of our inspection.
Los Prietos Boys Camp: The LPBC has a rated capacity of 96 youth. There were 30 boys in LPBC on the
day of our inspection.
There was no evidence of deferred maintenance at either facility and staff reported all security and life
safety systems were clean and serviceable. The facility and grounds were clean and well maintained.
There were no areas of noncompliance with Title 24 minimum standards.
Inspection Summary
There is no corrective action required at this time as your facility is in compliance with Title 15 and Title
24 regulations.
We want to thank you and your staff for their time and assistance in completing this inspection. Probation
Managers Wendy Stanley and Kristina Brumbaugh were helpful in coordinating this inspection. I would
also like to thank Supervising Deputy Probation Officers Erin Cross and Alejandra Ochoa for providing
local inspection reports and communication throughout the entire inspection process. Each of these
individuals assisted at each step by clarifying processes, answering questions, and providing supporting
documentation. All the staff members were very knowledgeable and cooperative.
