The items listed below have been identified as noncompliant with Title 24 minimum standards. 1231.3.5 Beds: On the date of inspection, bunk beds were located and were being utilized in the dayroom space throughout the Main Jail and Todd Road jail facilities. These beds are not supported by the square footage or required shower access existing in these housing units. 1231.2.10 Exercise Area: The rooftop exercise space located at the Main jail contains 16 enclosures that are used for outdoor exercise space. These enclosures do not allow for free access to toilets, washbasins, and drinking fountains. 1231.2.22 Audio Monitoring Systems: Audio monitoring systems located in the booking and intake holding cells at the the Main jail and Todd Road facilities were inoperable and should be repaired or replaced for compliance with this section of Title 24. Training According to the most recent Standards and Training for Corrections audit, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office is in compliance with all relevant regulations and mandates and mitigating circumstances if applicable. Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) Compliance Monitoring We reviewed documentation related to the handling of juvenile detainees as well as the physical plant and found no violations of the JJDPA. Please refer to Title 15 Procedures checklist for detailed information. Corrective Action Plan: Use of the additional bunk beds are not supported by the square footage of the facilities or the number of available showers. The agency is encouraged to remove these bunkbeds to comply with this section of Title 24 Regulations The rooftop exercise area located at the main jail is divided into 16 separate enclosed areas for the maximized use of space for daily operation of providing access for outdoor exercise to multiple classifications of inmates. The continued use of these enclosures without “free access to toilets, washbasins and drinking fountains” will remain an issue related to the Title 24 regulation listed. The audio monitoring systems in the booking holding cells at the Main jail and at the Todd Road facility are inoperable. The agency is encouraged to repair or replace the audio systems in these cells to comply with this section of Title 24 Regulations. On July 21, 2022, BSCC staff held an Exit Briefing with your staff.
