2018 ANNUAL INSPECTION PURSUANT TO WIC 209 and SB 1004
SANTA CLARA COUNTY JUVENILE HALL: TRANSITIONAL AGE YOUTH (TAY) PROGRAM
BSCC # 7587
Dear Chief Garnette:
The 2018 annual inspection of the Santa Clara County Probation Department’s Juvenile Hall
Transitional Age Youth (TAY) Program has been completed. The deferred entry of judgement program
was established as a pilot program through Senate Bill 1004 and was inspected on October 29-30,
2018. The Federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) requires an annual on-
site inspection of collocated facilities that house adult and juvenile offenders. This inspection was for
the sole purpose of evaluating this program, not the entire facility.
A complete Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) inspection report is enclosed and
consists of the following: this transmittal letter; a Title 15 Procedures Checklist, outlining applicable
minimum standards for juvenile detention facilities; a Physical Plant Evaluation, outlining applicable
Title 24 Minimum Standards; and, the Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE), summarizing the physical
plant configuration and outlining the rated capacity of the facilities.
Please refer to the Title 15 Procedures Checklist for a summary of all relevant minimum standards,
indication of compliance or non-compliance, and information that was used to determine compliance.
Mandatory Local Inspections
In addition to the annual inspection, Title 15, Section 1313 and its authorizing statute require local
inspections conducted by the following authorities:
• County Building Inspection by agency designated by the Board of Supervisors;
• Fire authority having jurisdiction;
• Local health officer;
• County superintendent of schools;
• Juvenile Court; and,
• Juvenile Justice Commission.
Results of these inspections are considered as part of this report. The dates of the local inspections
may be found in the Title 15 Procedures Checklist.

Scope of the Inspection
The inspection consisted of a review of the Santa Clara County Policy and Procedures Manual1 for both
Juvenile Hall Detention and TAY policies, a site-visit to review operations, physical plant and relevant
documentation, and interviews with administration, facility staff, and youth. During the inspection, we
also evaluated consistency between policy and practice.
Inspection Results
Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards
Upon final review of all documentation, there are no outstanding issue items of non-compliance with
Title 15 at Santa Clara Juvenile Hall or within the TAY Program. No corrective action is required.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to your physical plant and your rated capacity (RC) is 60 for this program,
which is within the confines of your Juvenile Hall, which has a rated capacity of 330. You have created
two units within the physical plant for this population. On the day of the inspection, there were 5 TAY
male youth in custody and no female youth in the program. Please see the Physical Plant Evaluation
for more information.
Training
According to the most recent Standards and Training for Corrections (STC) audit, Santa Clara County
Probation is compliant with mitigating circumstances for all relevant regulations and mandates.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) Compliance Monitoring
We reviewed applicable documentation and found no violations of the JJDPA. Refer to the Title 15
Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
Summary
We are very impressed with the implementation of your TAY Program and the efforts to establish this
unique opportunity for offenders between the ages of 18-20, allowing these youths the opportunity to
avail themselves of treatment, education and vocational training, and re-entry community supervision.
The program is a one-year commitment, with an initial custodial segment including multi-disciplinary
teams with agency partners, which allow for pinpointing a TAY youth’s needs, followed by an aftercare
component with close supervision and transition services. The young adults take advantage of the
program to receive services to stop the cycle to adult incarceration.
1 BSCC reviews only those policies and procedures required by and applicable to Title 15, CCR. BSCC staff do not ‘approve’ policies and procedures or
assess them for constitutional or legal issues. Agencies should seek review through their legal advisor, risk manager, or other persons deemed appropriate
for such evaluation.
