Findings 6 findings
F1
Page 90
The Main Jail continues to be seriously overcrowded.
F2
Page 90
Moving women inmates requiring medium-security incarceration to another facility would help ease overcrowding at the Main Jail.
F3
Page 90
Finding another means of dealing with alcohol-related administrative detentions (which increase dramatically during the weekends) could reduce the workload, overcrowding and expense associated with bookings at the jail.
F4
Page 90
Salaries for detention officers are lower in Santa Cruz County than in other counties in the Bay area. Officers leave to take higher paying jobs after training. The financial investment made by the County in training new detention officers is lost due to the high turnover rate because officers can receive higher salaries in the Bay area.
F5
Page 90
Failure to implement a salary schedule appropriate to Santa Cruz County is a root cause of continuing unfilled vacancies and employee turnover among detention officers.
F6

The Main Jail staff should be acknowledged for the high degree of dedication and professionalism they exhibit despite overcrowding and staff turnover.

This would help alleviate overcrowding at the Main Jail by freeing up approximately 46 beds. 2001–2002 Santa Cruz County Grand Jury Final Report -8 Review of the Main Jail
