PENAL CODE SECTION 6031; WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION 209; JUVENILE JUSTICE
AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT
Dear Chief Amirfar:
On 4/26/18, staff of the California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted the 2016 - 2018
biennial inspection of the Turlock Police Department temporary holding facility pursuant to Penal Code Section
6031 and Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) Section 209. The facility was inspected for compliance with the
Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities as outlined in Titles 15 and 24, California Code of Regulations,
and the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) requirements for holding minors.
The inspection consisted of a review of applicable policies and procedures governing the operation of the facility,
staff interviews, a review of documentation to verify that your practices follow your written procedures, and a walk-
through of the physical plant.
The complete BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of:
• This transmittal letter;
• The Procedures Checklist outlining applicable Title 15 sections;
• The Physical Plant Evaluation outlining Title 24 requirements for design; and,
• The Living Area Space Evaluation that summarizes the detention facility’s physical plant configuration.
We encourage the practice of maintaining a permanent file of inspection reports. This file should be the first point
of reference when preparing for all future inspections.
LOCAL INSPECTIONS
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.
FIRE INSPECTION:
By regulation, a fire inspection is required every two years. The most recent fire inspection occurred on August 23,
2017 and is current.
5772 Turlock THJ 16-18 Ltr: 11/29/18
HEALTH INSPECTIONS:
The most recent Medical/Mental Health inspection was conducted by the Health Department on 6/4/2014 and the
environmental inspection on 8/2/17. The Medical inspection is overdue. Please forward the inspection results to
BSCC as they become available.
BSCC INSPECTION
PHYSICAL PLANT:
The Turlock City Jail was opened in 2015. It is evaluated under the 2008 Title 24 standards. 1 On the day of the
inspection, there were no arrestees in the facility. The facility consists of four holding cells capable of holding 14
arrestees in total, a secure interview room and a booking area. The jail was clean and well-kept.
Minors in secure detention are held in a holding cell or the secure interview room, separated from any adult
arrestees. Minors in non-secure detention are held in unlockable interview rooms or the report writing area.
POLICY REVIEW:
BSCC reviewed the relevant sections of agency policy against regulation to ensure that each subject required by
regulation was addressed in policy. The published policy is reviewed annually and reprinted when needed. The
most recent policy revision occurred in 2016.
Regarding policy, no area of non-compliance was noted.
PROCEDURES REVIEW:
BSCC continued its inspection by evaluating procedures at the facility and reconciling them against regulation.
Those evaluations typically include an in-depth review of documentation related to jail operations including security
logs, shift schedules, local inspection results, classification documents, incident reports and other records which
give insight to the facility’s operations. BSCC sought out evidence to ensure that practices matched regulations.
No arrestees were present, and no arrestee interviews were conducted.
Arrestees are supervised by the individual arresting officers. Most arrests are processed without holding an inmate
in the holding cell and, when used, the average duration of confinement in the cell is less than one hour. Title 15
regulations require arrestees to be supervised by staff members trained in topics including suicide prevention,
classification, liability, emergency procedures and intake screening. The agency has implemented a full training
curriculum, but lacks topics required by regulation. Until training is expanded, the agency is non-compliant with
the following regulation:
Title 15 Section 1024 This regulation requires staff members that supervise inmates in a temporary
holding facility complete eight hours of specialized training within six months of assignment and every
two years thereafter and includes specific course topics. The existing curriculum lacks the specific topics.
Please notify BSCC when all training is completed and we will update our records to reflect compliance.
BSCC reviewed a variety of records to determine the adequacy of staffing and insure that procedures were adequate
to meet the minimum standards. Staff records safety checks for all arrestees on paper logs. All arrestees are under
