2018-2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION 6031 PC and 209 WIC/JJDPA SECTION 6031
Dear Chief Nikolai:
As you are aware, The Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) is statutory required to inspect all
Local detention facility’s biennial for compliance with the Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities as
outlined in Titles 15 and 24, California Code of Regulations, per Penal Code Section 6031 and for Welfare and
Institutions Code (WIC) Section 209.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic and the issuance of statewide and local shelter-in-place orders, BSCC staff
were prohibited from traveling and unable to complete on-site inspections from March 16 through June 30, 2020,
the end of the 2018/2020 biennial inspection cycle. BSCC staff conducted virtual inspections via desk audit of
all facilities originally scheduled for inspection during this time. Desk audits are comprised of a comprehensive
review of all applicable policies and procedures and documentation your agency provided. BSCC staff intend to
conduct comprehensive on-site inspections of all local detention facilities as soon as travel restrictions are lifted.
The BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of this transmittal letter and the Procedures
Checklist outlining applicable Title 15 sections.
Local Inspection
In addition to a 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 these reports for a comprehensive
perspective of your facility.
There were no noncompliance issues as it relates to the fire inspection or the county health inspection.
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. We found no items of noncompliance.
Please refer to the Procedures Checklist for detailed information.

Title 24, CCR Inspection
BSCC was unable to physically review the physical plants during this inspection cycle. However, we were
informed that there were no new or remodeling projects concerning either jail facility. We will review the
physical plant during the 2020-2022 inspection cycle.
JUVENILE INSPECTION
In accordance with the JJDPA, BSCC monitors law enforcement facilities for compliance with three core
requirements of the Act: Deinstitutionalization of Status Offenders, Separation of Juveniles from Incarcerated
Adults, and Removal from Adult Jails and Lockups (6-hour secure detention limitation). At the headquarters
facility, secure and nonsecure youth a held in the juvenile facility area, which is outside the jail facility. Although
there is a youth jail cell inside the Levi Stadium facility, no youth have been detained in the past six (6) years. In
addition, no nonsecure youth have been held as well.
CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN
No areas of noncompliance were noted, and no corrective action is needed.
This concludes our inspection report for the 2018-2020 inspection cycle. We are hopeful that we can return to
our normal inspection processes during the 2020-2022 inspection cycle. Although we were unable to provide
your department with the services you are accustomed to, I want to assure you that BSCC remain committed to
be a resource to your agency regarding your custodial questions or concerns. If you have any questions, or
concerns, please contact our office at any time.
Sincerely,
