Agenda Item Text:
- Discussion and possible direction regarding Cochise County Jail Expansion/Remodel (Bisbee).
Background:
Presently, the greatest challenge facing the Cochise County Jail is providing housing for its specialty populations (i.e., behavioral health, medical, high risk security threat inmates, adult females, and remanded juveniles, etc.) in a safe, secure, efficient, and effective operational environment. Increasingly, the legal requirement to separate juveniles remanded to adult custody by sight and sound from adult offenders, places tremendous stress on the facility and staff; not to exclude, the increasing population of offenders with mental health issues, high risk security threat inmates, and adult females requiring protective custody and other special housing needs.
