WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION 209 AND 885
Dear Chief Ferriera:
The 2020/2022 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 December 16, 2021 and the facilities were inspected on
April 5 through 8, 2022.
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

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 compliance with Title 15 and 24 regulations and 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. Prior to the
submission of this report all policy and procedures discussed were updated to remain in
compliance with Title 15. Please see the procedures checklist for detailed discussion.
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 Evaluations for each facility for more information.
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

staff do not “approve” policies and procedures or assess them for constitutional or legal issues. Agencies
