Ventura County (2018-2020 inspection cycle)

August 7, 2020 Mark Varela, Chief Probation Officer Ventura County Probation Department 800 South Victoria Avenue Ventura, CA 93009 VENTURA COUNTY JUVENILE DETENTION AND COMITTMENT FACILITIES 2018-2020 BIENNIAL INSPECTION PURSUANT TO WIC 209 and 885 Dear Chief Varela: On June 15, 2020, pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code sections 209 and 885, BSCC staff completed the 2018/2020 Biennial Inspection of the Ventura County Juvenile Detention and Commitment Facilities via a desk audit. To prepare for this inspection, a pre‐inspection briefing was held on May 22, 2019. 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. 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. Due to the coronavirus pandemic and the issuance of statewide and local shelter‐in‐place orders, BSCC staff were prohibited from traveling and unable to complete on‐site inspections from March 16 through June 30, 2020, the end of the 2018/2020 biennial inspection cycle. BSCC staff conducted virtual inspections via desk audit of all facilities originally scheduled for inspection during this time. Desk audits are comprised of a comprehensive review of all applicable policies and procedures and documentation (where available). BSCC staff intend to conduct comprehensive on‐site inspections of all local detention facilities as soon as travel restrictions are lifted. We reviewed your updated Policy and Procedures Manual1; all Local Inspections; annual reviews of Security and Emergency practices; and, documents and forms used by the agency. The documentation specific to your high-risk incidents were assessed to ensure compliance with regulation and policy. The BSCC inspection report consists of this transmittal letter and the attached Title 15 Procedures checklist. We are including the PHY and LASE for your information only; your staff indicated that there were no changes since the previous inspection. Compliance is indicated by policy and/or documentation review. Please refer to the Title 15 Procedures Checklist for a summary of relevant minimum standards, indication of compliance or noncompliance, and information used to determine compliance. 1 BSCC does not review all of your policies and procedures. We do not “approve” your 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. 7727+ Ventura JH Camp 18-20 Chief Varela Ventura P. 2 Mandatory Local Inspections In addition to the biennial inspection, Title 15, Section 1313 and its authorizing statute require local inspections conducted by the following authorities: County Building Inspection by agency designated by the Board of Supervisors; Fire authority having jurisdiction; Local health officer; County superintendent of schools; Juvenile Court; and, Juvenile Justice Commission. Results of these inspections are considered as part of this report. The dates of the local inspections may be found in the Title 15 Procedures Checklist. Inspection Results Operations We reviewed a sampling of incident reports, grievances, admission/classification documentation, separation/room confinement incident reports and disciplinary reports/findings to ensure compliance with newly implemented Title 15 Regulations and to ensure procedures and process were consistent. Although some documentation revealed minor issues with consistency, overall, the forms and practices have been improved through their own internal administrative audit to show a pattern and practice of compliance with both policies and Title 15. With the implementation of significant changes to Title 15 regulations this cycle, it is important to note the Ventura County Probation Department also implemented a new version of policy with Lexipol. This was significant as it was a challenge to virtually inspect and work through the changes in policy and procedures with a new system. Staff were diligent in addressing concerns regarding policy omissions, having to develop and incorporate procedures to address staff or operational responsibilities not identified in policy. This process took a great deal of time and effort for your supervisors; however, the process to facilitate change and ensure staff were trained to policy and procedures as well as adapt to a treatment focused program was remarkable. The benefits are realized with youth and demonstrated by the reduction of high-risk incidents. The authenticity of programs and treatment were well documented. Interventions and response to high risk situations seemed appropriate with our desk audit review. We noted the outcomes of discipline due process, grievances and assessments were communicated appropriately with youth. Incidents of separation and room confinement were few and the documentation of the events we reviewed were consistent. Education The Ventura County Office of Education (VCOE) provides education services to youth in detention and commitment. Youth receive on average 300 minutes of instruction and are offered vocational and post- secondary services. The education evaluation indicated a comprehensive communication stream between probation and school staff, with brief daily communication and monthly full meetings. The evaluation documented a positive and collaborative relationship between probation and VCOE. 7727+ Ventura JH Camp 18-20 Chief Varela Ventura P. 3 Programming The facility houses pre-adjudicated youth in detention and post dispositional youth in the Commitment program. Youth are provided a wide array of services offered through collaborative partnerships, outside volunteers and probation staff. Individualized case plans are completed for these youth with specific goals and objectives for their stay. All youth participate in programming that includes social awareness programs with a focus on making positive behavior changes to address the behaviors leading to their incarceration. Structured programs include: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Moral Recognition Therapy (MRT) and Gender Specific Services provided by on-site Behavior Health; Drug and Alcohol Programming; Ventura County Arts Council (art, guitar, dance, meditation, yoga, poetry, drumming and mural painting); Career Technical Education; Reins of Hope (equine assisted psychotherapy); Restorative Justice; Los Comadres; New Beginnings (parenting program); Futsal; Paxton/Patterson (Vocational Ed); Victim Programs, Landscaping, basketball; anger management and conflict resolution. Girls Inc, Pawsitive Steps and Boys and Girls Club programming is currently suspended while the agency looks for new providers. The facility places significant importance on education and treatment programming, with a focus on positive unit behavior. The availability of programming fills the daily schedule and staff are able to concentrate of reinforcing performance-based expectations. This provides for clear expectations of youth behavior. The staff support natural consequences so that youth may learn from their mistakes. Our review of incident reports, case plans and grievances support the system of positive behavior interventions. Title 15, CCR Minimum Standards During our visit, we offered technical assistance and made best-practice recommendations to your management team to assist or enhance operations for future compliance inspections, given the changes to regulations this cycle. Several procedures and policy matters were discussed and edited prior to the completion of this letter. Those efforts are much appreciated and as indicated, we look forward to the agency aligning procedures to policy by adopting an easier to read manual in order to better assist staff in understanding their role in supervising the youth in your care. The attached Procedures Checklist provides a detailed overview of the inspection findings. Upon final review of all documentation and upon the conclusion of this report, we find the Ventura County Juvenile Detention and Commitment has no outstanding issues of non-compliance and there is no corrective action required. Title 24, CCR Physical Plant There were no changes made to the physical plant and your rated capacity remains at 180 in Detention and 240 in Commitment. 7727+ Ventura JH Camp 18-20 Chief Varela Ventura P. 4 Training The most recent Standards and Training for Corrections audit reports that the Ventura County Probation Department is in compliance with all relevant regulations and mandates. Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act Compliance Monitoring There have been no violations of JJDPA this inspection cycle and no areas of non-compliance were noted. We are very impressed with the overall operation and administration of the Ventura County Juvenile Detention and Commitment Programs. We would like to thank you and compliment your staff for their dedication, thoroughness and responsiveness. This concludes our 2018-2020 inspection report. We are available to assist as needed and are always happy to provide technical assistance when requested. We look forward to continuing to work together, especially when we are able to conduct an on-site inspection in the coming 2020-2022 Inspection Cycle.
