Findings and Recommendations 1 findings
F1
Capacity: During the Grand Jury inspections only three of the county facilities were at or near capacity, which is consistent with the 2008-2009 Grand Jury report. Agrees with finding. Of the five Orange County jails, only three were at or near capacity. For operational reasons due to lower inmate population, the Central Women's Jail, the Fourth Floor of the Central Men's Jail, and the East and North Compounds of the James A. Musick Facility have been temporarily closed. RECOMMENDATIONS

R1
Capacity: The Orange County Sheriff's Department should continue its inmate population management program so as to avoid overcrowding. The recommendation has been implemented. The Orange County Jail Classification Unit continually monitors fluctuations in inmate population and assigns appropriate housing locations to avoid any overcrowding issues. The Sheriff's Department is prepared to re-open temporarily closed areas/facilities if the inmate population rises to a level where additional housing is needed to avoid overcrowding.
