2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF TEHAMA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE JAIL AND
COURT HOLDING FACILITY, PENAL CODE 6031
Dear Sheriff Hencratt,
On January 26, 2021, pursuant to Penal Code section 6031.1 and Welfare and Institutions Code
sections 209 and 885, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted
the 2020-2022 biennial inspection of the Tehama County Adult Jail (desk audit) and an onsite
inspection of the Court Holding Facility. A pre-inspection brief was held on September 17, 2020,
to discuss the biennial inspection requirements.
This inspection was performed to determine compliance with the Minimum Standards for Local
Detention Facilities as outlined in Titles 15 and 24, California Code of Regulations (CCR). 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 of juveniles from incarcerated adults.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the status of positive cases within the Adult Detention
Facility, BSCC staff could not conduct inspection of housing modules while onsite. A desk audit
of policies was completed and included a comprehensive review of all applicable policies and
procedures, interviews with staff, and review of documentation your agency provided.
The BSCC inspection report consists of this transmittal letter and the attached Title 15
Procedures Checklist (PRO). We are including the Adult Jail Physical Plant Evaluation (PHY)
and Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE) from your 2018-2020 inspection cycle for your
information only. The PHY and LASE will be inspected and updated during our next onsite
inspection. Compliance is indicated by policy or documentation review. Please refer to the Title
15 PRO for a summary of all relevant minimum standards, an indication of compliance or
noncompliance, and information used to determine compliance.
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 Safety Code Sections 101045 and 13146.1). Please consider our report in
conjunction with the reports from the County Health Officer and the respective fire authorities for
a comprehensive perspective of your facilities. Each of the local inspections were current.

documentation, and interviews with administration, facility staff, inmates, and collaborative
partners.
Title 15, CCR Inspection
Our evaluation consisted of reviewing only those policies and procedures related specifically to
the applicable regulations included in Title 15, CCR.1 We found your agency has no areas of
noncompliance during this inspection cycle.
Please refer to the Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
Adult Detention Facility
There were no changes made to the facility's physical plant since the last BSCC biennial
inspection. We found your agency has no areas of noncompliance during this inspection cycle.
Court Holding Facility
There were no changes made to the physical plant of the facility since the last BSCC biennial

Please refer to the Physical Plant Checklist for detailed information.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring
The BSCC monitors local detention facilities for compliance with the JJDPA. Minors are not held
at the Tehama County Adult Jail. Minors at the Court Holding Facility are held in a designated
area separate from adults and are under the supervision of the Probation Department.
1 BSCC does not review all policies and procedures. We do not “approve” policies and procedures nor do we review
them for constitutional or legal issues. We recommend agencies seek review through their legal advisor, risk
manager and other persons deemed appropriate.

Corrective Action Plan
On January 26, 2021, BSCC staff held an Exit Brief with your staff. During that brief, BSCC staff
provided an overview of the biennial inspection and provided technical assistance and best
practices recommendations. We found no noncompliance issues during the desk audit and
onsite inspection; your agency is not required to provide a Corrective Action Plan.
This concludes the 2020-2022 biennial inspection cycle report of the jail and court holding
facilities. We want to express our gratitude to retired Lieutenant Yvette Borden and Sergeant
Lonni Jones. We look forward to working with you in the future to provide technical assistance.
