TUOLUMNE SUPERIOR COURT HOLDING, PENALCODE6031.
Dear Sheriff Pooley:
On March 23, 2022, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) provided pre-
inspection briefings to facility supervisors outlining the proposes, process, and necessary
documentation needed for the biennial inspection. Staff gave participants a complete preview of the
visit and provided a schedule of the inspection. BSCC staff provided applicable checklists and
answered any questions.
On June 14 and 15, 2022, the 2020-2022 biennial inspection of the Jack Dambacher Detention Center
and Tuolumne Superior Court Holding was completed 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 BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of this transmittal letter; the Procedures
Checklists outlining applicable Title 15 sections for both custody and court holding facilities; and
individual Physical Plant Evaluations and Living Area Space Evaluations that summarize each facility’s
physical plant configuration. We encourage the practice of maintaining a permanent file for historical
copies of all inspections that would also include documentation of corrections made following the
inspection. This file should be the first point of reference when preparing for all future inspections.
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).

BSCC INSPECTION
Jack Dambacher Detention Center (County Jail)
Title 15, CCR – Procedural and Operational Review (County Jail):
The inspection consisted of a review of the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office Policy and Procedure
Manual1, a site visit to review operations, physical plant, relevant documentation, and interviews with
administration, facility staff, inmates, and collaborative partners.
In reviewing policies and procedures during the 2020-2022 cycle, consideration was given to agency’s
Emergency Suspension of Services (ESS) related to the COVID-19 emergency measures taken and
authorized by the BSCC. For the safety of the inmates and staff, the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office
had periodically suspended the following services during part or whole of this inspection cycle:
Section 1061, Inmate Education Programs (March 13, 2020 – August 30, 2021)
Section 1062, Visitation (December 1, 2020 – January 29, 2021)
Section 1065, Exercise and Recreation (November 9, 2021 – November 25, 2021)
Section 1070, Individual/Family Service Programs (March 13, 2020 – March 28, 2022)
Section 1072, Religious Observances (March 13, 2020 – March 28, 2022)
BSCC Staff reviewed policy and procedures for these sections and any mitigation measures taken to
minimize the impact of the suspension of these services.
No items of noncompliance were identified.
Title 24, CCR - Physical Plant (County Jail):
There were no changes made to the physical plant and rated capacity remains at 234. Please see the
Physical Plant Evaluation Checklist for more information. On the date of the inspection, the facility was
holding 127 persons in custody. There are no outstanding items of noncompliance with Title 24
minimum standards.
1BSCC reviews only those policy and procedures required by, and applicable to, Title 15, CCR. BSCC staff do not “approve”
policies and procedures or assess them for constitutional or legal issues. Agencies should seek review through their legal
advisor, risk manager, and other persons deemed appropriate for such evaluation.

Tuolumne Superior Court Holding
Title 15, CCR – Procedural and Operational Review Inspection (Court Holding):
No items of noncompliance were identified.
Title 24, CCR - Physical Plant (Court Holding):
No items of noncompliance were identified.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) Compliance Monitoring
Minors are not held at the Main Jail and any minor in attendance at the Tuolumne County Superior
Court is held in a separate area under the control and supervision of the Tuolumne County Probation
Department. No violations of the JJDPA were found.
Corrective Action Plan
There is no need for a corrective action plan.
Technical Assistance
At the conclusion of each inspection, BSCC staff offered an out brief of findings to the Sheriff and facility
management. This included an extensive discussion of the impact of staffing levels, recruitment, and
retention of qualified custody personnel. The current number of authorized personnel is adequate for
the operation of the facilities and all associated programs, but the 25% shortfall in staffing will eventually
cause problems with meeting minimum requirements and result in non-compliance issues. At present,
through mandated overtime, custody staff is completing safety checks and of security functions as
directed.
As discussed, this staffing situation will cause closure of parts of the facility, reduction in programs for
inmates, concerns of health and safety of staff and inmates, contracting with outside agencies, and
degradation of the very new facility. This is a high priority with continued challenges like competitive
agencies, comparable job salaries, and smaller recruitment pool. With a concerted county effort to
bring staffing up to the authored level and retain jail staff, the downside of the low staffing may be
avoided.
--
This concludes our inspection report for the 2020-2022 biennial inspection cycle of the Tuolumne
County Jail and Superior Court Holding Facility. We would like to express our gratitude to Lt. Hurtado,
Lt. Nikiforuk, Sgt. Schertz, and Sgt. Rogers for all of their cooperation and assistance. In addition, R.N.
Pesce from the contracted Medical Services provided great assistance regarding the health care
services and policies.
