There is a need to replace the Burton Creek facility due to lack of elevators and overall ADA non-compliance. The County needs a modernized facility in the Tahoe Basin to provide booking and housing of arrestees, rather than contracting out-of-county for these services.

The Burton Creek facility sally port poses a security risk because it is not large enough to allow the external overhead door to close behind large transport vehicles.

All six Placer County jails and holding facilities were clean and appeared to be well-maintained and well-managed.

Some jail inmates are now spending longer sentences in a County facility as a result of the passage of AB109, which has required the County to allocate more resources to existing facilities.

The opening of the booking facility at the South Placer Main Jail will enable south County law enforcement officers to return to duty more quickly than the current system by not having to transport prisoners to Auburn Main Jail.

In addition to health and addiction services, programs are available to help inmates improve job skills, education, socialization skills and self-esteem.

Visual security at the Historic Courthouse sally port is compromised due to the deterioration of the screening material. Conclusion As a result of the shifting of responsibilities from the State to counties, the jail population now consists of inmates incarcerated for more serious offenses and for longer terms. Progress is being made to provide educational, vocational, mental and physical health services. These services are necessary to meet the needs of this evolving inmate population and potentially reduce recidivism rates. All Placer County jails and holding cells are secure and appear to be well-managed, with the exception of the Burton Creek facility. The building does not meet ADA requirements and does not function as a booking and holding facility. - 114 - - -2017 Final Report
