Glen Helen North – San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department/San Bernardino County Fire Department partnership program has a capacity of 96, currently has 45 inmates. This activity has just been implemented; it bears a lot of potential and needs to be watched in the future. Female inmates handle the inmate visitation request call center for all county detention centers. The 1:120 ratio between staff and inmates is problematic.

AB109 QUESTIONS (Early release from state facilities to county facilities due to realignment policies) How has AB109 impacted the overall operating of this facility? (i.e. staff, workload,

security, operating procedures, and training) Special diet requests, grievances and sick call all increased. Have the facility operating costs changed since implementing AB109? If so, have funds been available to cover these expenses? Funds are tight, and staffing with additional Sheriffs are the major concerns. Explain the procedure for determining how inmates are selected for early release? All the early releases are done through the Classification Population Management Unit (CCU). Every Monday a list of sentenced inmates is compiled by SBSD Technical Services Unit. The number of days varies depending on the number of inmates that need to be released to bring the inmate population under the population cap for all Type II facilities. The inmate lists are given to all Type II facilities and all the inmates booking jackets are reviewed. The inmates must be at or under the designated days determined by CCU. The inmate's current charges, criminal history and past convictions are checked to see if they 2014-2015 San Bernardino County Grand Jury – Detention Centers 80 meet the early release criteria (see release criteria). The lists with all the inmates who qualify for early release are sent to the Lieutenant at CCU and he determines how many inmates need to be released that week and how many days early. The early release orders are sent out on Thursday so the inmates will be out of custody for the weekend. Under CCU there are six full time release officers who work seven days a week. Before the inmate is arraigned, they review all inmates booked for specific charges, review their criminal histories and conduct an interview with the inmates. If they determine an inmate is safe for release, they release the inmate on his/her Own Recognizance (OR) with a date to appear in court. In 2013 they released 5,736 inmates and as of the Grand Jury's visit in August 2014, they have released 3,660 inmates early. SBSD is also preparing to OR Post Arraignment inmates with the cooperation of the courts, District Attorney and Public Defenders' Office once the system for OR is in place. Is there anything else you would like the Grand Jury to know about AB109

and the impact it has had on your facility? The Sheriff to inmate ratio is a concern, which requires additional funding. 2014-2015 San Bernardino County Grand Jury – Detention Centers 81 * * * INSPECTION FORM * * * Please fill out those sections that apply to the facility you are inspecting FACILITY NAME: INSPECTION DATE: California Institution for Men September 23, 2014 FACILITY CAPACITY: LAST BOARD OF STATE & COMMUNITY 4,530 - FULL CORRECTIONS INSPECTION DATE: Not provided ADDRESS: Telephone Number: (909)606-7068 Fax Number: (909)393-8699 14901 Central Avenue Chino, CA 91710 TYPE OF FACILITY: Type III (Convicted or Sentenced Inmates) DETENTION CENTER: Four individual units OTHER: Date Built 1941 2014-2015 San Bernardino County Grand Jury - Detention Centers 82 SITE TOUR -AREA INSPECTED/REVIEWED - (Please Check Areas Seen) QUALITY OF LIFE PROGRAMS PERSONS INTERVIEWED Educational X Physical Plan X Inmates X Meals/Nutrition X Vocational X Facility Manager Mental Health X Medical Community Services Domestic Violence School Staff Physical/Dental Health Religious Services Mental Health Staff Victim/Gang Awareness Substance Abuse X Line Staff X Visiting X Volunteer Involvement Other Food Services Staff X ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/NOTES Four individual units at this location
