Yolo County Detention Facilities: Correctional Officer Staffing Issues Continue

The jury reports on adult and juvenile detention visits in late 2025, identifying correctional staffing, overtime, compensation and hiring-process concerns in six findings and one recommendation. Leinberger’s administrative use during the visit does not establish that it opened for inmate housing. Staffing counts refer to different times and should not be combined into a single current headcount. Consent-decree releases are described as selected under release criteria, not proof that everyone released was unsafe. Commendations remain distinct from formal recommendations. No final response to this report is supplied; the Sheriff response in this cycle concerns Esparto, not this staffing inquiry.
