2018-2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION
PENAL CODE SECTION 6031; WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION 209;
JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT
Dear Chief Landon:
On May 14, 2020, staff of the California Board of State and Community Corrections
(BSCC) conducted the 2018 - 2020 biennial inspection of the Yuba City Jail pursuant to
Penal Code Section 6031 and Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) Section 209. Due to
COVID-19 and the statewide travel ban, the jail was inspected virtually via a desk audit
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, and a review of documentation to verify that your practices follow
your written procedures.
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.
The Physical Plant Checklist and Living Area Space Evaluation from your last onsite
inspection are being attached for your reference and will be updated during your next
onsite inspection. We encourage continuing the practice of maintaining a permanent
file for historical copies of all inspections. 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.

BSCC INSPECTION
PHYSICAL PLANT
The Yuba City Police Department has a temporary holding facility that is evaluated
under 1988 Title 24 standards.1 The facility consists of dry temporary holding cell.
Confirmation that there have been no changes will be verified during your next onsite
inspection.
Minors in secure detention are held in the holding area, separated from any adult
arrestees. Minors in non-secure detention are held in the report writing room.
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 May of 2020.
Regarding policy, no issues of non-compliance were noted.
PROCEDURES REVIEW
BSCC verified via a documentation review during a desk audit that policies and practices
are consistent with regulations.
Arrestees are supervised by arresting officers. Arrestees remain in the facility only long
enough for processing before being released or transferred. Female arrestees are only
detained when a female staff person is immediately available to the arrestee.
Special needs inmates who require enhanced surveillance and care include inebriated,
self-destructive or violent inmates. Suicidal or mentally disordered arrestees and those
requiring restraint are not booked at this facility. Inebriated inmates who are so impaired
as to require a protected environment are also denied admittance and booked directly
into the county jail.
1 Facilities are assessed against Title 24 requirements in place at the time of design or significant
remodel.

compliance with three core requirements of the Act: Deinstitutionalization of Status
Offenders, Separation of Juveniles from Incarcerated Adults, and Removal from Adult
Jails and Lockups (6-hour secure detention limitation). No items of noncompliance
were identified.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
No areas of non-compliance were noted, and no corrective action required.
