RE: SHASTA COUNTY JUVENILE REHABILITATION FACILITY 2014/2016 BIENNIAL
INSPECTION PURSUANT TO WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTIONS 209
Dear Chief Neal:
This letter is to advise you that the 2016/2018 biennial inspection of the Shasta County Probation
Department’s Juvenile Rehabilitation Facility has been completed. A pre-inspection briefing was held
on August 23, 2017 and the Shasta County Juvenile Rehabilitation Facility was inspected on October
25, 2017. Probation Director and Facility Manager Sarah Till and her staff, as well as the collaborative
partner’s made the inspection process seamless. They also represented the facility and their respective
agencies in an exemplary manner. I appreciate the time and energy that they spent preparing for, and
organizing and participating in the inspection, especially given the amount of documentation requested.
The complete Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) inspection report is enclosed and
consists of:
• Transmittal letter;
• Title 15 Procedures checklist, outlining Title 15 requirements for the Juvenile Rehabilitation
Facility;
• Physical Plant Evaluation, outlining Title 24 requirements for the design of the Juvenile
Rehabilitation Facility; and
• Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE), summarizing the physical plant configuration and showing
the rated capacity of the Juvenile Rehabilitation Facility.
Mandatory Local Inspections
In addition to the biennial inspection, Title 15, section 1313 and its authorizing statute also require local
inspections conducted by the following local authorities:
• County building inspector or person designated by the Board of Supervisors;
• Fire authority having jurisdiction;
• Local health officer;
2016/2018 Inspection Letter: 7621 Shasta County Juvenile Rehabilitation Facility
• County Superintendent of Schools;
• Juvenile Court; and
• Juvenile Justice Commission.
The 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.
Scope of the Inspection
The scope of the inspection consisted of a review of the Shasta County Juvenile Rehabilitation Facility
Policy and Procedure Manual. The audit was limited to a review of only those policies and procedures
related specifically to the applicable regulations outlined in Title 15, Minimum Standards for Juvenile
Facilities.1 The inspection also involved verification that the complete manual was compliant with the
Regulation 1324, Policy and Procedures Manual. The inspection also reviewed relevant documentation
to ensure that practice and policies were consistent with Title 15, as well as a physical plant tour and
interviews with administration, youth, facility staff, and collaborative partners.
Inspection Results
Operations:
To ensure compliance with Title 15 Regulation and to ensure procedures and process were consistently
followed, documentation, such as incident reports, grievances, admission/classification reports, and
disciplinary reports/findings were reviewed. The documentation revealed issues with consistency
overall; however, the forms and practices have been improved and showed a pattern and practice of
compliance with both policies and Title 15 standards. We interviewed facility collaborative partners
including probation, medical, mental health and educational staff. The purpose of these interviews was
to assess the level of communication and collaborative management of youth. Each interviewee noted
a positive relationship and a true partnership between staff, administration, teachers, medical and
mental health staff with a shared effort to best meet the needs of all youth in the facility. BSCC observed
unit and facility movement, and exercise and dayroom activities. These activities revealed a busy, full
and complete schedule, including structure. Staff were also professional and caring toward the youth
Education:
The Shasta County Office of Education operates the education services in the facility. Staffing includes
two general education teachers, a special education resource teacher, and a para- professional staff
for each classroom. Class duration exceeds the California State Education Code minimum
requirements of 240 minutes. Teachers routinely stay beyond the end of the school day to assist
youth with tutoring for credit recovery for those youth that are significantly behind in graduation credits.
The facility school is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. In 2017, the
facility school was reviewed by the Special Education Local Plan Area Review who noted a very
favorable review.
1 BSCC staff does not review all facility 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.

Medical and Mental Health:
Shasta County Juvenile Rehabilitation Facility provides Medical and Mental Health services by
contracting with the California Forensic Medical Group (CFMG). The CFMG provides the following
medical staff: one Registered Nurse (RN) available eight hours a day and five days a week; one
Physician Assistant once a week; and one Doctor on site once a week. Additionally, the RN provides
health education on an individual basis during clinic sessions. The RN provides individual education as
appropriate to youth on topics, such as reproductive health, drug cessation and positive health practices.
The CFMG provides one Mental Health staff; specifically, a Mental Health Counselor who is on site two
hours for twice a week. The counselor sees youth by referral or request. The facility also utilizes Tele-
Psych as needed which allows for the use of video conferencing between off site doctors and youth in
custody. This is especially beneficial for facilities in rural areas or facilities that have limited resources.
Tele-Psych provides additional mental health resources directly to the facility without the need to transport
a youth off site. Youth report that they are seen quickly for either their medical or mental health needs.
Programming:
The Juvenile Rehabilitation Facility houses pre-and post- adjudicated youth. As a result, the facility
experiences short term detention as well as long term commitments. In response, the facility offers a
wide array of programming offered through collaborative partnerships, outside volunteers and probation
staff. Individualized case plans are completed for all youth with specific goals and objectives for their
stay. All youth participate in programming that includes social awareness programs. One focus of the
social awareness programs is making positive changes from the behaviors that lead to their
incarceration. Programming also includes topics such as: promoting positive social skills; aggression
replacement training; moral and ethical reasoning; and strategies for successful family and community
interactions. The facility also offers a variety of recreational activities.
The facility emphasizes positive school, work, and unit behavior through their Behavior Response
Matrix. The Behavior Response Matrix focuses on reinforcing positive behavior through the use of
incentives and rewards. Incentives and reward are proven to be more powerful than punishment.
Under the matrix, youth may earn daily points and levels by choosing positive behavior. The youth may
then use those points to participate in incentives and purchase rewards. The Behavior Response Matrix
provides for clear expectations of youth behavior, as well as suggested staff responses to negative
behavior. Thus, the matrix results in more consistent staff responses. The matrix supports natural
consequences so that youth may learn from mistakes. The facility staff promote structure,
responsibility, accountability, respect and life skills. Shasta County Probation Department received a
2017 California State Association of Counties (CSAC) Merit Award for their SB1143 Early
Implementation Best Practice Solutions Model program. Shasta County was among the first five
counties statewide to implement polices to adhere to Senate Bill 1143 which became effective January
1, 2018.
Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards
During the inspection visit, technical assistance and best-practice recommendations were made to your
management team that may assist or enhance operations for future compliance inspections. Several
procedures and policy matters were discussed and edited prior to the completion of this letter. Those
efforts are appreciated. The attached Procedures Checklist provides a detailed overview of the
inspection findings. Upon final review of all documentation and upon the conclusion of this report, the
