RE: STANISLAUS COUNTY 2018/2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION PURSUANT TO
WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION 209 AND 885
Dear Chief Hamasaki:
The 2018/2020 biennial inspection of the Stanislaus County Probation Department’s
Juvenile Hall and the Juvenile Commitment Facility has been completed. A pre-
inspection briefing was held on April 17, 2019 and the facilities were inspected on
December 17 through 20, 2019.
The 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 Stanislaus County Juvenile Hall.
Please refer to the Title 15 Procedures checklist for a summary of all relevant minimum
standards, indication of compliance or noncompliance, and information that was used to
determine compliance.
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
• county Superintendent of Schools
• Juvenile Court
• Juvenile Justice Commission.
Results of those inspections are considered a part of this report. The dates of the local

Scope of the Inspection
The inspection consisted of a review of the Stanislaus County Policy and Procedure
Manual1, a site visit to review operations, physical plant and relevant documentation, and
interviews with administration, facility staff, youth and collaborative partners. During the
inspection, we evaluated consistency between policy and practices.
Inspection Results
Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards
During our inspection of the Stanislaus County Juvenile Hall and the Juvenile
Commitment Facility, we reviewed the facility policies and procedures manual. 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. On
the day of the inspection, we discussed several policies and procedures with staff and
suggested edits which might bring more clarity and specificity to the manual. We also
discussed the need to include the updated Title 15 language in the policy and procedure
manual to be in line with regulations which became effective January 1, 2019. All other
agreed-upon changes were completed prior to the submission of this report.
Upon initial review of documentation, the Juvenile Hall was deemed out of compliance
with Title 15 section 1329 Suicide Prevention Plan and 1354.5 Room Confinement.
Please refer to the procedural checklist for more details. Review of documentation
provided initially revealed the Juvenile Hall facility was out of compliance with these
regulations with regards to documentation of youth program involvement while on suicide
watch and documentation on Special Incident Reports (SIR) submitted with
predetermined room confinement for youth placed in room confinement. Following our
inspection and debriefing, Superintendent Ferriera developed and implemented the Daily
Program Observation Sheet for youth not participating in normal programming due to
suicide watch, room confinement, etc. Superintendent Ferriera also sent a directive to all
staff immediately ceasing the recommendations of predetermined room confinement time
for youth placed on room confinement. Documentation verifying these corrective actions
were provided to BSCC prior to the submission of this report.
Upon final review of all documentation, there are no outstanding items of noncompliance
with Title 15 at the Stanislaus County Juvenile Hall and Juvenile Commitment Facility. No
corrective action is required at this time.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to the physical plant and your rated capacity for the
Juvenile Hall remains 158 youth and Juvenile Commitment Facility remains at 60 youth.
Please see the Physical Plant Evaluation for more information.
1 BSCC reviews only those policy 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, and other persons deemed appropriate for
such evaluation.

There are no outstanding items of noncompliance with Title 24 minimum standards.
Training
Per the most recent Standards and Training for Corrections audit, Stanislaus County
Probation Department is in compliance with all relevant regulations and mandates and
mitigating circumstances if applicable.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) Compliance Monitoring
We reviewed applicable documentation, and found no violations of the JJDPA. Please
refer to Title 15 Procedures checklist for detailed information.
We want to thank you and your staff for their time and assistance in completing this
inspection. Superintendent Ferriera and Facility Managers Hott and Rabe were helpful in
coordinating this inspection. 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. This concludes the 2018/2020
biennial inspection report. I am available to assist as needed and happy to provide
technical assistance when requested. I look forward to continuing to work together.
Please do not hesitate to email me at Craigus.thompson@bscc.ca.gov or call (916) 621-
