2016 – 2018 BIENNIAL INSPECTION
PENAL CODE SECTION 6031; WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION 209; JUVENILE JUSTICE
AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ACT
Dear Chief Kroutil:
On May 4, 2018, staff of the California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted the 2016 -
2018 biennial inspection of the Porterville City Jail pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031 and Welfare and
Institutions Code (WIC) Section 209. The jail was inspected 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,
staff interviews, a review of documentation to verify that your practices follow your written procedures, and a walk-
through of the physical plant.
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.
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:
By regulation, a fire inspection is required every two years. The most recent fire inspection occurred on 5/17/16
and is current.
HEALTH INSPECTIONS:
Health Department inspections for the facility occurred as follows:

BSCC INSPECTION
PHYSICAL PLANT:
The Porterville Police Department holding facility was opened in 1989 and is evaluated under the 1986 Title 24
standards.1 The facility consists of four holding cells and a seating capacity of 16 inmates. Based on the applicable
standards, there were no issues of non-compliance noted.
Minors in secure detention are held in a holding cell or the booking 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 April 2018 and the agency is transitioning to a new policy. We noted that
all policy statements required by regulations were present and no issues of non-compliance were noted.
PROCEDURES REVIEW:
BSCC continued its inspection by evaluating procedures at the facility and reconciling them against regulation.
Those evaluations typically include 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 sought out evidence to ensure that practices matched regulations.
No arrestees were present and no arrestee interviews were conducted.
Arrestees are supervised by the arresting officers while in the facility. Dispatchers are also trained to supplement
officers in the facility and provide a female presence as necessary. Staff that supervise arrestees are required to
attend eight hours of initial and biennial refresher training to safely evaluate and oversee arrestees in the jail
environment. The agency has developed in internal course and all applicable staff is trained to meet or exceed the
minimum standards.
BSCC reviewed a variety of records to determine the adequacy of staffing and insure that procedures were adequate
to meet the minimum standards. Intake records indicated that officers were uniformly assessing each inmate’s
overall health and risk factors.
1 Facilities are assessed against Title 24 requirements in place at the time of design or significant remodel.
