The biggest concerns relating to one-on-one programming in the existing facility is the safety and security of everyone involved and lack of dedicated space.

​

• Attorney, probation agent, and outside counselor visits are contact visits.   

• The mental health counselor has no designated place to meet with inmates and often has to meet in booking due to visitation area being busy with attorneys or court.

• The programming room is used for court, court order evaluations, probation pre-sentence investigations, etc. On-site programming may be cancelled or delayed due to the other scheduling needs.   

• There is no designated area for inmates classified max/hi-max to utilize recreation hours. Recreation hours are often completed in booking or visitation. Again, recreation hours are delayed due to bookings, visits, or court.

• Medical exam room is adjacent to Administrative Office Area and Master Control.

• Limited observation when inmates are utilizing visitation area for recreation hours.
