The primary focus of this project is the construction of the168,000 SF addition to provide a new Central Intake and Assessment Center (CIAC) adjacent to the existing Sheriff’s Office.
The four-level building will provide a total of 286 additional beds consisting of a central intake and booking center on the first floor: two floors of specialty housing and treatment units for those in custody with substance abuse, medical and mental health needs, an on-site courtroom and a fourth floor for general population.
The new CIAC will serve as the new physical entry into the broader criminal justice system and serve as a safe and secure detainment location while individuals are assessed. The medical and behavioral health treatment areas will also serve a dual role in providing services to overall jail population when and if they are needed. The center will help the County meet current and future occupancy needs while providing enhanced deflection, diversion and treatment services for the nearly 70% of people in custody with mental illness, substance abuse and suicidal tendencies.
The jail’s medical and mental health section will grow dramatically from 64 beds to 162 beds and offer a wider array of services, while the total jail capacity will increase from 1,034 to 1,218 beds. The project also includes demolition of existing structures to make room for the new addition and significant mechanical and plumbing upgrades as well as interior renovations to the existing 900 bed jail facility.
