A design sketch of the new public entry to the Youth Detention Facility.

Project Overview
This project will expand the existing facility increasing the number of beds and decentralizing the services, so that each housing unit is self-sufficient having its own classrooms, medical exam room, passive recreation, and dining.

Highlights of the expansion include:

• The addition of 90 new beds in three housing units
• Additional classrooms and dayroom facilities
• Medical and mental health support areas
• Food service areas, laundry services, staff dining and training areas
• A new visitors center
• New security electronics
• Construction of a new central plant
• Construction of an additional 120 beds in four housing units. This was approved by the Board of Supervisors in February 2007.
