Seeking to address issues of code compliance, seismic retrofitting of the original 1980s structure, and significant overcrowding in the adult detention facility, a phased renovation and addition created a new jail and new emergency management and operations centers.
  • A modern control room features a central workspace surrounded by large glass windows, overlooking other areas equipped with monitors.
  • A stark, institutional space featuring metal tables, a staircase, and secure cells visible through mesh panels, with minimal decor.
  • A modern waiting area features white chairs, a partitioned section with blue seating, and a sleek kiosk, all in neutral tones.
  • A sparse, sterile room featuring white walls, concrete flooring, shelving, a sink, and a trash can, designed for minimal comfort.
  • A stark, institutional hallway features three heavy doors labeled PAD1, PAD2, and PADR1. One door stands open, revealing a bleak cell interior.
  • A modern detention center with a welcoming entrance features large glass doors, a brick facade, and blue skies overhead.

The new facility will be efficient, effective and safer. Every victim deserves justice, and this new jail facility will ensure that is given.
