Board response and quoted Sheriff response to Madera County Jail

The board explicitly agrees with both findings and recommendations. Its approved response quotes the Sheriff’s plans for CalAIM implementation in September 2026 and the SB1022 mental health expansion, with completion anticipated in 18–24 months. The Sheriff’s quoted statements imply acceptance but do not explicitly agree or disagree with the findings. These are agency statements, not verified implementation results.
