INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION 209; JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY
PREVENTION ACT
Dear Chief Popovich:
On June 19, 2020, staff of the California Board of State and Community Corrections
(BSCC) conducted the 2018 - 2020 biennial inspection of the Dinuba 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.
FIRE INSPECTION:
Pursuant to Health and Safety Code sections 13146.1(a) and (b), a fire inspection is
required every two years. The most recent fire inspection occurred 10/14/19 and is
current.
HEALTH INSPECTIONS:
Health Department inspections for the facility occurred as follows:
Environmental Medical /Mental
Facility Nutritional
Health Health
Dinuba City Jail Facility 12/1/19 12/1/19 N/A
BSCC INSPECTION
PHYSICAL PLANT:
The Dinuba Police Department holding facility was opened in 1984 and is evaluated under
the 1980 Title 24 standards.1 The facility consists of six holding cells and a sobering cell
for a seating capacity of 27 inmates. Confirmation that there have been no changes will
be verified during your next onsite inspection.
Minors in secure detention are held in a holding cell, 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 November of 2019.
We found the following item of noncompliance in our review of policy:
Title 15, Section 1051,Communicable Disease
At the time of intake into the facility, an inquiry shall be made of the person being
booked as to whether or not he/she has or has had any communicable diseases,
such as tuberculosis or has observable symptoms of tuberculosis or any other
communicable diseases, or other special medical problem identified by the health

remodel.

authority. The response shall be noted on the booking form and/or screening
device.
This policy is comprehensively written; however, it is missing the requirement to list
observable symptoms of communicable diseases. Once the policy is updated, the
agency will be compliant with this regulation.
PROCEDURES REVIEW:
BSCC typically conducts 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
verified compliance via a documentation review during a desk audit that policies and
practices are consistent with associated regulations.
Arrestees are supervised by the Community Service Officers (CSO) or the arresting
officers while in the facility. Staff that supervise arrestees are required to attend eight
hours of initial and biennial refresher training to safety evaluate and oversee arrestees in
the jail environment.
Special needs inmates are those who require enhanced surveillance and care and include
inebriated, self-destructive or violent inmates. The facility has one sobering cell but does
not hold inebriated arrestees. Inmates requiring a protective environment are transferred
to the county jail without delay.
Please see attached procedures checklist for detailed information.
JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT COMPLIANCE
MONITORING:
In accordance with the JJDPA, BSCC monitors law enforcement facilities for 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). Minors are not held in secure detention in
this facility, but may be held in non-secure detention.
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
Should you elect to take corrective action and update your Policy to include observable
symptoms, please forward the revised sections to me for review and verification that your
policy is compliant with the requirements of Title 15, Section 1051.
