Tulare County, County Probation (2020-2022 inspection cycle)

Initial Inspection Report 2020-2022 Biennial Inspection Cycle Date of Exit Briefing: 6/30/2022 Inspection Type: Biennial County: Tulare Facility Name(s): Tulare County Juvenile Detention Facility, Juvenile Detention Facility Camp and Youth Facility Camp BSCC #(s): 7703, 7704, and 7708 BSCC Type: JH and Camp-2 Facility Representatives: Michelle Bonwell, CPO; Marguerita Luna, ACPO; Jose Gonzalez, DM; Michael Santos, DM BSCC Field Representative: Elizabeth Gong Corrective Action Plan Required? YES DATE CAP DUE TO BSCC: 7/28/2022 Current Items of Noncompliance: Title 15. Section Description The agency has frequent safety checks at consistent 13, 14 and/or 15-minute intervals, rather than the required ‘random and varied’ requirement to have direct visual observation of youth when confined to § 1328, Safety Checks their room. Our review revealed safety checks in predictable patterns and not varied as required. The agency is presently non-compliant with the random and varied requirement in regulation. The three facilities are currently housed in Pod 5 of the Juvenile Detention Facility, which has 4 different units (A-D). Review of the facility schedule and the documentation of activities on the safety check sheet for each shift in each unit reveal the youth spend an excessive amount of time confined in their room. The scheduled activities include appropriate T15 activities, § 1371, Programs, Recreation and Exercise. but the documentation does not correlate with the schedule, revealing youth are in their rooms during the scheduled activity. Youth interviews confirmed activities are diverted due to staff breaks, showering, shaving and unit clean up designations which result in youth being secured in their room, in many cases for a minimum of one hour and up to two hours. Tulare IIR\6-30-2022 IIR v1. 10.29.20 Tulare Initial Inspection Report Page 2 Technical Assistance Provided We met with facility administrators during the inspection process and outbrief, making technical assistance recommendations for each area of non-compliance. The agency has taken a serious approach to the issue and have ideas and action plans to correct the deficiencies. Additional Information We noted the staff vacancies directly impact operations, however, our observations revealed staff assigned to a unit but at the Pod podium during three different walkthroughs, rather than in their assigned location to facilitate the scheduled activity. Our documentation review revealed this occurs frequently and was confirmed by youth responses to questions about room time and activity participation. We note staffing levels are hindered by long term leaves and vacant positions, but staffing is sufficient based on population to provide the necessary supervision of youth for their daily operational requirements. The administrators have a plan for Section 1328 to provide closer audit processes and more frequent supervisor supervision every shift. Section 1371 states “The facility administrator shall develop and implement written policies and procedures for programs, recreation, and exercise for all youth. The intent is to minimize the amount of time youth are in their rooms or their bed area.” The T15 requirements are not being met with missed programming and youth spending periods up to two hours in their room, especially for evening and weekend programming. Tulare IIR\6-30-2022 July 29, 2022 Michelle Bonwell, Chief Probation Officer Tulare County Probation Department 11200 Avenue 368 Visalia, CA 93291 TULARE COUNTY JUVENILE DETENTION FACILITY, YOUTH DETENTION FACILITY AND JUVENILE DETENTION FACILITY CAMP BSCC # 7703, 7704, AND 7708 2020-2022 BIENNIAL INSPECTION PURSUANT TO WIC 209 and 885 Dear Chief Bonwell: On June 26-30, 2022, pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code sections 209 and 885, BSCC staff completed the 2020-2022 Biennial Inspection of the Tulare County Juvenile Facilities. To prepare for this inspection, a Pre inspection was held on April 7, 2022. 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. 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. BSCC worked with Division Managers Mike Santos and Jose Gonzalez, as well as their staff and collaborative partners. Your administrators facilitated a coordinated and organized process to complete all elements of the inspection process, representing the facility and their respective agencies in an exemplary manner. We appreciate the time and energy spent preparing for and participating in the inspection, especially given the amount of documentation requested. We reviewed your Policy and Procedures Manual1; all Local Inspections; annual reviews of Security and Emergency practices; and, documents and forms used by the agency. The documentation specific to your high-risk incidents were assessed to ensure compliance with regulation and policy including incident reports, completed forms, and audit reviews of incidents and operational practices related to youth care and treatment for this cycle. The BSCC inspection report consists of this transmittal letter; the attached Title 15 Procedures checklist; the Title 24 Physical Plant Checklist (PHY) and Living Area Space Evaluation, documenting the physical space in the facilities. Please refer to the Title 15 and 24 Procedures Checklist for a summary of all relevant minimum standards, indication of compliance, and information used to 1 BSCC does not review all your policies and procedures. We do not “approve” your policies and procedures or review them for constitutional or legal issues. We recommend agencies seek review through their legal advisor, risk manager and other persons deemed appropriate. Michelle Bonwell Chief Probation Officer Page 2 determine compliance. Mandatory Local Inspections In addition to the biennial inspection, Title 15, Section 1313 and its authorizing statute require local inspections conducted by the following authorities: County Building Inspection by agency designated by the Board of Supervisors; Fire Authority having jurisdiction; Local Health Officer; County Superintendent of Schools; Juvenile Court; and, Juvenile Justice Commission. Results of these inspections are considered as part of this report. The dates of the local inspections may be found in the Title 15 Procedures Checklist. BSCC Inspection Results Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards Operations The inspection process includes substantial reviews of incident reports, grievances, admission and classification reports, case plans and counseling notes, and disciplinary reports and findings to ensure compliance with Title 15 Regulations and to ensure procedures and process are consistent with your policies. The regulation revisions made in 2019 required agencies to develop, modify, and enhance policies and operational procedures. Beginning last cycle and throughout this cycle, Tulare consolidated all three agency programs into one living Pod, therefore, operations were specifically reviewed to ensure comprehensive and streamline processes for each program remained consistent with policy. The new regulations required your staff to be more diligent in articulating specific information to justify their actions and decisions with regard to documentation. This is especially important for critical incidents involving use of force, use of restraints, and room confinement, as well as safety checks and required programming activities. It is imperative that staff provide a clear depiction to support their actions via required documentation on forms and in reports. Of the 148 incidents of the Use of Force this cycle, along with 6 incidents of use of restraints and 16 incidents of room confinement, we found the information in reports and forms for these high-risk events to be inclusive of all the elements in regulation. The reports, record in the Caseload Explore case management system, and required forms were complete in terms of action, reaction, timeline, and efforts to return the youth to regular programming with counsel and fair process practices. We note these incidents are significantly reduced from last cycle. With regard to safety checks, however, we found the checks were routinely done at patterned times in 14- to 15-minute intervals, not random and varied as required in regulation. The unit logs also designated significant periods of time youth were in their rooms during operational activities. These activities were lengthy and not inclusive of the required elements of Section 1371, which articulates staff are to minimize the time youth are in their rooms to promote the minimum requirements of Programs, Recreation and Exercise. Youth were in their rooms daily for excessive periods of time due to unit clean up, shaving, and showering. This impacted the ability for the required Title 15 elements and having youth spend time out of their rooms, engaged in activities to promote positive behaviors. 7703+ Tulare Juvenile JH Camp LTR 20-22 Michelle Bonwell Chief Probation Officer Page 3 Immediately following the on-site inspection, the agency was provided an Initial Inspection report finding non-compliance with Section 1328, Safety Checks. The Division Managers, Supervising Probation Officers, and Institution Supervisors took an aggressive approach to correction and immediately conducted all staff re-training on the documentation of safety checks and prompting youth to be out of their rooms during activities such as clean up and hygiene. We conducted weekly virtual check-ins with the Division Managers and a second on-site visit on July 21, 2022. Our review of safety checks post on-site inspection on a simpler form indicates compliance with the random and varied requirement in regulation. Education The Tulare County Office of Education provides education and vocational opportunities to youth on- site. There are four operational classrooms and at the start of the new school year, a Vocational CTE Instructor will facilitate the Paxton Patterson curriculum for eligible youth. The program focuses on construction and offers 14 skill trades at an introductory level. The Principal is very engaged in the curriculum and post-secondary opportunities through College of the Sequoia’s. TCOE also provides a Health Careers module and prepares youth for Drivers License tests, provides Serve Safe certification, and in general, prompts success through a genuine and caring approach to students. Programming The Juvenile Detention Facility, Youth Facility, and Juvenile Detention Facility Camp house pre- and post-adjudicated youth resulting in short and long-term incarceration. The facility is providing an array of services to meet the youth’s individual needs, based on their case plans and independent objectives. The structured programs and unstructured recreation activities are facilitated by Phoenix House, Precision Psychiatric Services, the Tulare County Office of Education, Program Specialist staff, and probation staff. During our on-site inspection, we found the agency was not conducting structured programs due to lengthy periods of time for unit operational activities. Rather than allowing youth out of their rooms during the activity, which took up to two hours, youth were kept in their room waiting “their turn.” Additionally, services were interrupted or outside the timeline for program providers; so, they were randomly facilitated by unit staff. To the agency’s credit, new behavior health and mental health services contracts began July 1, 2022, and the Program Specialist programming started in May 2022. The agency realized the need for a structured schedule and enhanced services prior to the inspection and implemented the change. Immediately following the on-site inspection, the agency was provided an Initial Inspection Report finding non-compliance with Section 1371, Programs, Recreation, and Exercise. The Division Managers, Supervising Probation Officers and Institution Supervisors had been in process to transition to new providers in order to facilitate services. The agency made changes to programming through the new contracted providers and constructed a schedule to allow for operations and programs to occur concurrently. Following our on-site inspection, we conducted weekly virtual check-ins with the Division Managers and conducted a second on-site visit on July 21, 2022. We met with the new administrator for Phoenix 7703+ Tulare Juvenile JH Camp LTR 20-22 Michelle Bonwell Chief Probation Officer Page 4 House, Precision, and the Program Specialist Supervisor, each describing their role in providing and servicing the youth in detention and commitment. The agency relocated offices for Phoenix House into the Pod, allowing for their contracted 4-6 hours of service per youth each week to be more accessible. The Program Specialist and new Mental Health Provider will enhance structured services as well as the renewed ‘Directed Activity’ curriculum, facilitated by unit staff. Based on the new schedule and in conversation with youth, the facility is currently compliant with Section 1371. Tulare has a comprehensive Admission Assessment process which is responsive to youth needs while in custody to address re-entry planning and transition to the community. Staff complete Institution Plans and maintain notes in the Caseload Explore system which provide current information to target youth needs while in custody in preparation for release. Our review of the individualized intake documentation and casework planning revealed a well-coordinated system which utilizes the admission process to provide focused and relevant programming. This is especially important with the new on-site Program providers. Finally, the agency has been approved to initiate a Behavior Modification Program, which provides a positive and incentive-based opportunity for youth to better engage and respond to program components and rules. We look forward to implementation by October so we may see the program on our next visit. Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards During our visit, we offered technical assistance and made best-practice recommendations to your management team to assist or enhance operations for future compliance inspections. It is our plan to return to the facility in the fall to ensure continued compliance, specifically as it relates to safety checks and youth programming. The attached Procedures Checklist provides a detailed overview of the inspection findings. Upon final review of all documentation and upon the conclusion of this report, there are no areas of noncompliance for the Tulare County Juvenile Facilities. Title 24, CCR Physical Plant The agency made significant changes to the physical plant in terms of youth housing beginning in the 2018-2020 Inspection Cycle. The Juvenile Detention Facility occupied Pod 5 and the Youth Detention Facility vacated its separate but on-site building and relocated to Pod 2 in the Juvenile Detention Facility Building. The Juvenile Facility Camp relocated to Pod 1 in the Juvenile Facility Building. Finally, due to low population, all three programs are utilizing Pod 5 which has 4 units. The agency hopes to relocate the Secure Youth Track population to unoccupied Pod 1; however, they are currently housed in Unit B of Pod 5. Additionally, the agency is considering the use of unoccupied Pod 2 for Programming, agency partner office space, and Group Treatment space. Training The most recent Standards and Training for Corrections audit reports that the Tulare County Probation Department is in full compliance with all relevant regulations and mandates. Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring There have been no violations of JJDPA this inspection cycle and no areas of non-compliance were noted. We are impressed with the renewed opportunities for youth as it relates to programming. The TCOE continues to be a valuable resource and the new Vocational Center will serve your population well. Facility operations have shown improvement and we look forward to the implementation of the Behavior 7703+ Tulare Juvenile JH Camp LTR 20-22 Michelle Bonwell Chief Probation Officer Page 5 Modification Program recently approved by Administration. The tasks to meet regulation are ongoing, and we appreciate your staff for their dedication, thoroughness, and responsiveness. They worked hard to meet regulation requirements and were engaged in the process to maximize opportunities for the youth. -- This concludes our 2020-2022 inspection report.

The patterns occur most frequently on the graveyard shift and demonstrate a predictable occurrence. The agency also has a part of the written ☒ ☐ ☐ check form for Institution Supervisor reviews during each shift. These reviews were absent on approximately fifty percent of the documented check forms. The process for written checks also includes the youth population of the unit and their location, specifically, that the youth are ‘all secure’; all out for a meal, recreation, or program; at Physical Training (LME); at school; etc. We noted youth appeared to be in their room for an hour or up to two hours for activities such as showers, shaving, or without designation other than ‘all secure.’ The unit schedule did not align with the safety check designations. We provided technical assistance to resolve the safety checks via IS audits each shift and accountability for staff missing or completing checks in a predictable pattern. As recommended last cycle, the agency completes written checks, pipe checks and classroom checks. We suggest they only conduct those checks required by regulation, 7703 7704 7008 Tulare Juvenile Detention JH Camp PRO 20-22 - 16 - J453 JUV PRO-Eff. 01-01-2019 TITLE 15 SECTION YES NO N/A P/P REFERENCE - COMMENTS which is when a youth is confined to their room.

We found substantial compliance and noted the staff completed random and varied checks and provided specific documentation of youth counts and time spent in their room. Because the agency achieved compliance within 60 days a Corrective Action Plan is not required; however, we noted the plan to return for a targeted and/or unannounced inspection in the coming months to assure continued compliance. 7703 7704 7008 Tulare Juvenile Detention JH Camp PRO 20-22 - 17 - J453 JUV PRO-Eff. 01-01-2019 TITLE 15 SECTION YES NO N/A P/P REFERENCE - COMMENTS 1329 SUICIDE PREVENTION PLAN Section 8.14 Suicide Recognition and Prevention The facility administrator, in collaboration with the healthcare and behavioral/mental health administrators, We reviewed all 8 Suicide Attempt incidents shall plan and implement written policies and from July 2020 to the date of the inspection. procedures which delineate a Suicide Prevention Plan.
