Scope of the Inspection Members of the Grand Jury made a comprehensive inspection of the Placerville Jail facility on February 28, 2003. • The Jail Commander briefed jury members on Jail operations; • The Jail Commander conducted a comprehensive tour of the facilities; • Staffing levels were explained and discussed; • Inspection Reports were reviewed; • Recommendations of previous Grand Juries were discussed; • Implementation of those recommendations was explained to and reviewed by the inspecting members; • Grand Jury Reports for 2000/01 and 2001/02 were reviewed. Background The Placerville Jail facility was built in 1988 as a “direct supervision” jail wherein inmates have direct contact with staff. Original plans allow for the future expansion of a second wing. Staffing for the facility totals 103.5. The total is comprised of a Captain responsible for both Placerville and South Lake Tahoe facilities, a Lieutenant in charge of the facility, Correctional Officers, Sheriff Assistants, and Cooks. The staff provides the coverage of the jail facility, the Work Program, Transportation, and the Bailiff/Court Security. The jail facility is adequate and has an oversized booking area and kitchen in anticipating future expansion. The central control booth floor showed excessive wear. The original floor is old, worn and cannot be cleaned. In the main hall an antenna wire was exposed. The jail holds a maximum of 243 inmates and is rarely filled to capacity. When this Grand Jury inspected the facilities, there were 185 inmates comprising of 160 males and 25 females. Of these inmates, 180 were from El Dorado County, four were from Amador County, and one from the U.S. Marshall. Two additional Placerville inmates were being housed in Amador County Jail. In addition there were 23 inmates on the Electronic Monitoring Program.
