A pre-inspection briefing was held on February 10, 2021 and the facilities were inspected on August 19, 2021. Pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031, these inspections were performed to determine compliance with the Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities as outlined in Titles 15 and 24, of the California Code of Regulations. In addition, BSCC staff conducted compliance monitoring pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 209(f) for the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) for the separation requirements of juveniles from incarcerated adults. 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 adult 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 Sutter County Jail and Court Holding facility. Please refer to the Title 15 Procedures Checklist for a summary of all relevant minimum standards, indication of compliance or noncompliance, and information used to determine compliance. MANDATORY LOCAL INSPECTIONS In addition to the 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 5780 5786 Sutter II CH LTR 20-22 Sheriff Brandon Barnes September 23, 2021 Page 2 Safety Code Sections 101045 and 13146.1). 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. We encourage the practice of maintaining a permanent file for historical copies of all inspections including documentation of corrections made following the inspection. SCOPE OF THE INSPECTION The inspection consisted of a review of the Sutter County Jail and Court Holding facility Policy and Procedure Manual1, a site visit to review operations, physical plant and relevant documentation, and interviews with administration, facility staff, inmates, and collaborative partners. During the inspection, we evaluated consistency between policy and practices. INSPECTION RESULTS Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards Upon final review of all documentation, there are no outstanding items of noncompliance with Title 15 at the Sutter County Jail or Court Holding facility. No corrective action is required at this time. Title 24, CCR Physical Plant There were no changes made to the physical plant of the jail facility and your rated capacity for the Sutter County Jail remains at 400. Please see the Physical Plant Evaluation for more information. There are no outstanding items of noncompliance with Title 24 minimum standards. Training According to the most recent Standards and Training for Corrections audit, Sutter County Sheriff’s Office and Court Holding personnel are compliant with all relevant regulations and mandates for training. Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) Compliance Monitoring We reviewed Sutter County Jail and Court Holding records and found no violations of the JJDPA. Please refer to the Title 15 Procedures checklist for detailed 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. 5780 5786 Sutter County Jail & CH LTR 20-22 Sheriff Brandon Barnes September 23, 2021 Page 3 This concludes the 2020-2022 biennial inspection report.
