JUL 062018 June 27, 2018 SAN Diego County Grand Jury Honorable Peter C. Deddeh Presiding Judge of the Superior Court*

Several County jails are out of compliance with State standards. Response: The Sheriff's Department agrees with this finding as it pertains to the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) rated capacity for San Diego County jails. The rated capacity is 5695.

Most detention facility inmates lack access to sunlight and appropriate exercise equipment. Response: The Sheriff's Department disagrees wholly with this finding. All facility recreation yards meet Title 24 standards. Additionally, all of the facilities have installed exercise equipment appropriate for those respective housing units that can accommodate equipment.

Without clear definitions and measures of recidivism, the Grand Jury cannot judge the success of reentry programs. Response: The Sheriff's Department disagrees partially with this finding. The Board of State and Community Corrections definition of recidivism reads as follows: Adult Recidivism Definition Recidivism is defined as conviction of a new felony or misdemeanor committed within three years of release from custody or committed within three years of placement on supervision for a previous criminal conviction. 2 2017/2018 Grand Jury Response – Detention Facilities-San Diego County June 27, 2018 Supplemental Measures This definition does not preclude other measures of offender outcomes. Such measures may include new arrest, return to custody, criminal filing, violation of supervision, and level of offense (felony or misdemeanor). Recidivism Rates While the definition adopts a three-year standard measurement period, rates may also be measured over other time intervals such as one, two, or five years. (Lovell, 2015)
