Del Norte County · 2025–2026 Civil Grand Jury

Report on The Del Norte County Jail

The July 1, 2026 report describes the jury’s November 15, 2025 inspection, concerns about holding-cell hygiene, safety padding and broken windows, and improved storage of inmate belongings. Five findings and four recommendations address cleaning, padding and safer window materials. F1 is this jury’s finding about an alleged missing 2024–2025 Sheriff response, not evidence of a missing 2025–2026 response or an independent legal ruling. No current-cycle response is supplied. This unchanged annual report contains the jail investigation on physical PDF pages 9–11 (printed pages 8–10); physical pages govern citations because source pagination repeats printed page 8.
