2018-2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION OF TUOLUMNE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE,
TUOLUMNE COUNTY JAIL, PENAL CODE 6031
Dear Sheriff Pooley:
On December 10, 2019, staff of the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) conducted the
2018-2020 biennial inspection of the Tuolumne County Jail.
Pursuant to Penal Code Section 6031, 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 (CCR). In
addition, BSCC staff conducted compliance monitoring pursuant to the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency
Prevention Act (JJPDA) for the separation requirements of juveniles from incarcerated adults.
The complete BSCC inspection report is enclosed and consists of: this transmittal letter; the Title 15 Procedures
Checklist outlining applicable minimum standards; a Physical Plant Evaluation outlining Title 24 requirements for
design; and, a Living Area Space Evaluation summarizing the physical plant configuration and showing the capacity
of the facility. Refer to the Title 15 Checklist for indication of compliance status and evidence used to determine
compliance.
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). Please consider our report in conjunction with the reports from the County Health Officer
and the respective fire authorities for a comprehensive perspective of your facilities. Local inspection reports are
forwarded to your office under a separate cover. Each of the local inspections were current.

The inspection consisted of a review of the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office Custody Services Manual
and sections of the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office Policy Manual that apply to Jail Operations, a site visit to
review operations, physical plant and relevant documentation, and interviews with administration and facility
staff.
Title 15, CCR Inspection
Our evaluation consisted of reviewing only those policies and procedures related specifically to the
applicable regulations included in Title 15, CCR.1 We found no items of noncompliance.
This is a significant achievement when considering the challenges of operating in an antiquated facility with a
dated design. Despite the physical condition of the facility and continuously being near capacity, the staff
and jail leadership has diligently worked to meet requirements and maintain the aging facility. Additionally,
Tuolumne County Jail Staff and the community have continued to maintain and offer multiple education and self-
improvement programs for the inmates.
Please refer to the Procedures Checklist for detailed information.
Title 24, CCR Physical Plant
There were no changes made to the physical plant and the rated capacity remains at 147. The Jail was
originally constructed under the 1963 Title 24 Regulations. There were additions of two holding cells and one
housing unit in 1980. Two holding, two sobering, a safety cell and one dormitory were added in 1988.
Additionally, one single cell housing unit and four dormitories where renovated in 1994. On the date of the
inspections, the facility had 138 inmates in-custody.
Currently, the dayroom shared between Units J/K lack the number of seats needed for all inmates.
Operationally, jail staff has adjusted scheduling recreation times to ensure that only one unit is out in the
dayroom at a time. Additionally, we understand that the county is nearing completion of a new county jail, which
will correct this issue.
We found no additional items of noncompliance.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance
In accordance with JJDPA. BSCC monitors jail facilities for compliance with one of four core requirements of
the Act, Separation of Juveniles from Incarcerated Adults. Minors are not housed at this facility; therefore, no
violations of the JJDPA were identified.
Corrective Action Plan
No areas of noncompliance with policies, procedures or practices noted.
1 BSCC does not review all policies and procedures. We do not “approve” policies and procedures nor do we review them for
constitutional or legal issues. We recommend agencies seek review through their legal advisor, risk manager and other persons
deemed appropriate.
