Describe: The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department classification system has been centralized over the last 18 months. The Classification/Population Management Unit (CCU) does all the classification for the entire Detention and Correction Bureau. Inmates are classified during booking at West Valley Detention Center, Central Detention Center or High Desert Detention Center. The inmates are classified as a 1-7. Inmates classified as a 1 are the highest security inmates and 7 are the lowest. The other classifications are Protective Custody, Administrative Segregation and Unusual Behavior for inmates with mental disabilities. All the Type II detention center dorms and cells are rated for a certain classification of inmate. The Classification Unit can see where there is room for a particular inmate and send the inmate to any Type II detention center in the county. This method of classification has brought bureau-wide consistency and has helped manage the inmate population. In 2013 the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department Classification System was studied by professors at California State San Bernardino and validated as an accurate and safe classification tool. 2014-2015 San Bernardino County Grand Jury – Detention Centers 70  Number of weekend offenders?

This activity has just been implemented; it bears a lot of potential and needs to be watched in the future.  Female inmates handle the inmate visitation request call center for all county detention centers.  The 1:120 ratio between staff and inmates is problematic. AB109 QUESTIONS (Early release from state facilities to county facilities due to realignment policies)  How has AB109 impacted the overall operating of this facility? (i.e. staff, workload, security, operating procedures, and training) Special diet requests, grievances and sick call all increased.  Have the facility operating costs changed since implementing AB109? If so, have funds been available to cover these expenses? Funds are tight, and staffing with additional Sheriffs are the major concerns.  Explain the procedure for determining how inmates are selected for early release? All the early releases are done through the Classification Population Management Unit (CCU). Every Monday a list of sentenced inmates is compiled by SBSD Technical Services Unit. The number of days varies depending on the number of inmates that need to be released to bring the inmate population under the population cap for all Type II facilities. The inmate lists are given to all Type II facilities and all the inmates booking jackets are reviewed. The inmates must be at or under the designated days determined by CCU. The inmate’s current charges, criminal history and past convictions are checked to see if they 2014-2015 San Bernardino County Grand Jury – Detention Centers 80 meet the early release criteria (see release criteria). The lists with all the inmates who qualify for early release are sent to the Lieutenant at CCU and he determines how many inmates need to be released that week and how many days early. The early release orders are sent out on Thursday so the inmates will be out of custody for the weekend. Under CCU there are six full time release officers who work seven days a week. Before the inmate is arraigned, they review all inmates booked for specific charges, review their criminal histories and conduct an interview with the inmates. If they determine an inmate is safe for release, they release the inmate on his/her Own Recognizance (OR) with a date to appear in court. In 2013 they released 5,736 inmates and as of the Grand Jury’s visit in August 2014, they have released 3,660 inmates early. SBSD is also preparing to OR Post Arraignment inmates with the cooperation of the courts, District Attorney and Public Defenders’ Office once the system for OR is in place.  Is there anything else you would like the Grand Jury to know about AB109 and the impact it has had on your facility?
