Case # 15-04gj Stanislaus County Jail Facilities Inspection*

R1

The County should close the downtown jail once the PSC Unit 2 and the New Modesto Courthouse become fully operational. Response: The Respondent partially agrees with this recommendation. The Men's Jail will close as a traditional detention facility upon completion of the SB1022-Re-entry and Alternatives to Custody Training (REACT) center, which includes 288 inmate beds and is projected for completion in late 2018 or early 2019. The PSC Unit 2 was activated and "fully operational" in 2013 as a replacement facility for beds lost to a fire at the now closed Honor Farm in June 2010. Once the SB1022 project is activated, the Men's Jail will revert to a Court Holding Facility, due to its contiguous location to the existing Courthouse. When the new Courthouse is completed, the Men's Jail may close at that time. June 22, 2015 Re: Response to Civil Grand Jury Report 15-04GJ

R4. None None Convert all existing safety cell cameras to record 24/7 onto media storage in an effort to mitigate claims of negligence or abuse at these high-risk locations. Response: The respondent partially agrees with this recommendation. The installation of an updated camera system to provide media storage is a sound recommendation however; significant costs may be borne by the department for a facility that is intended for closure as a traditional detention facility in less than four years. The department will research such an upgrade, particularly for a similar recommendation made for the existing PSC. Public Safety Center: RS.

R7. None None Convert all existing safety cell cameras to record 24/7 onto media storage in an effort to mitigate claims of negligence or abuse at these high-risk locations. Response: The Respondent partially agrees with this recommendation. Such an upgrade may be cost-prohibitive. The department will research costs to upgrade the system and assess the feasibility of such an upgrade. It is noteworthy that the most significant liability occurs at the time of placement into a safety cell and substantially decreases after occupancy. Additionally, the technology being installed in the new AB900 II project will have record to digital media and archive capabilities.

The Regional 911 Director should take steps to update the CAD system. Response: The Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system was upgraded in 2007-2008. Since that time the original vendor no longer exists. The team at SR911, in collaboration with its partners, are focused on upgrades to the system including meetings with the current vendor to form an action plan.
