A pre-inspection briefing was held on March 28, 2022 and the facilities were inspected on June 13 through June 15, 2022. The following facilities were inspected: Type II Court Holdings / Temporary Holding Pre-Trial Facility Pre-Trial Court Facility Bob Wiley Detention Facility Porterville Courthouse South County Detention Facility Visalia Court Holding Tulare County Jail ** ** The Tulare County Jail was reclassified from a Type II to a Temporary Holding facility this inspection cycle at the agency’s request, due to the housing areas no longer being used to house incarcerated persons. The Dinuba Court Holding and Porterville Substation were reclassified as closed this inspection cycle and are no longer reflected in this report. Pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031, these inspections were 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. The complete Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) inspection report is enclosed and consists of the following: this transmittal letter; a Title 15 Procedures checklist, outlining applicable minimum standards for juvenile detention facilities; a Physical Plant Evaluation, outlining applicable Mike Boudreaux Sheriff Page 2 Title 24 minimum standards; and the Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE), summarizing the physical plant configuration and outlining the rated capacity. Please refer to the Title 15 Procedures Checklist for a summary of all relevant minimum standards, indication of compliance or noncompliance, and information used to determine compliance. MANDATORY 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). Results of those inspections are considered a part of this report. The dates of the local inspections are listed below.

In 1995, the 1994 Standards were implemented to allow Single Occupancy Cells to be double-bunked; however, the RC was limited by the amount of Dayroom space, toilets, showers, etc., per inmate: the 2001 Standards provide additional increase. On August 1, 2001, the BOC conducted a Technical Assistance visit and evaluated this facility for compliance with newer Standards. The primary areas evaluated were the size of the Dayrooms and Single Occupancy Cells, and the number of plumbing fixtures available for regulated ratios (e.g., one shower for every 20 inmates, one toilet for every 10 inmates, etc.). Based on this site-visit, approval was granted to increase the Rated Capacity (RC) of this facility from 584 beds to 674 beds. The cells in question, where the RC was increased, were constructed under the 1982 Standards for Single Occupancy Cells and later, as stated above, allowed to operate under the less restrictive 1994 Standards that provided for Double Occupancy Cells; however, the number of cells in any one unit that were double-bunked have not been previously listed on the Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE). Therefore, to preserve the historical perspective of this transition, the ’00-’02 report referred to these cells as 1982 Single Occupancy Cells allowed under less restrictive standards, to house two inmates per cell. In that report, if approval for an increase in RC was granted, the cell in question was marked with a double asterisk (**). During this inspection (’02-’04) these cell types have been identified as Double Occupancy Cells. Historical Note: During the 20-22 inspection cycle, there were no additional changes. Please see historical notes in previous years inspections for detail. The RC remains 696.
