    Ventura County Todd Road Jail Suspends In-Person Visitation

    Nature of Incident: Ventura County Todd Road Jail Suspends In-Person Visitation

    Location: Todd Road Jail, Santa Paula, CA

    Date & Time: December 17, 2021

    Unit(s) Responsible: Detention Services Division

    Narrative:

    Since the onset of COVID-19, the Sheriff’s Office has worked to create plans to minimize the spread of this illness inside the jail facilities as a precaution to protect those who are currently unaffected.

    The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office continually monitors all of the justice involved individuals that are housed in our facilities.  Over the past several days, we have monitored a spike in COVID-19 cases among the justice involved population at the Todd Road Jail in Santa Paula.  This spike coincides with the spike seen within the County population.

    Out of an abundance of caution, the Sheriff’s Office is quarantining the entire justice involved population at the Todd Road Jail to slow the rate of transmission and ensure public health and safety. To help accomplish our goal of slowing the spread, in-person social visits have been cancelled at the Todd Road Jail for the next seven days. Video visitation is still available (www.venturasheriff.org) The suspension of visits will be reevaluated on December 23, 2021 and reinstated once it is safe to do so.

    Cancelling in-person visits, will not only protect our justice involved population, but it will also protect the visiting public from exposure by other visitors in the public lobby and confined visiting spaces.

    Professional visits, including those by attorneys, will still be permitted but only as a non-contact visit.

    The Sheriff’s office values visitation as an essential part of inmate rehabilitation but at this time, the health of inmates, visitors, and staff must be protected.
