Findings 3 findings

The west facility received an equipment update to make it a state of the art facility. One officer can control digital video recorders, open and close individual doors, and give com- mands and information to the inmates while they are in their cells.

The Sheriff is continuously looking for ways to reduce costs in the jail, and run the jail more efficiently. A contract has been awarded to the Sheriff’s Department to house sen- tenced federal prisoners. Approximately $3.8 million could be realized from this contract, which goes to the County.

A video in English and Spanish, for the purpose of explaining rules, programs available, and what inmates can expect while incarcerated at Butte County Jail, is in the planning. A Spanish version of the Jail Handbook is planned as well.

Recommendations 2

R1

The Sheriff and the Butte County Jail staff should continue to look for ways to improve housing of prisoners while making conditions safe for inmates and correctional officers.
R2

A video informing the newly booked inmates of the programs available to them should be produced, and the Jail Handbook should be published. A Spanish version of both is rec- ommended. 28
