The Jail Facilities:
Corrections Officers work in the jail taking care of the inmates.

The inmates are fed three meals a day and have access to medical care and mental counseling if needed.

Control Room:

The control room officer monitors security cameras mounted both inside and outside the jail. The control room officer can easily lock and unlock doors by seeing who needs to get in and out of the rooms. By using this technology, inmates are unable to escape, allowing only the officers in and out of the rooms.

The jail has eight separate housing areas comprising dorms containing 124 beds. Inmates may walk around their dorm freely between 5:30 am and 11:30 pm, at which time the inmates are required to be in their bed unless traveling to and from the restroom.The jail is full almost all of the time.
