Notes: This is a large holding room that had originally been designed as a detoxification lounge with “lounge

room was later changed to a docile holding area for male inmates awaiting booking or who have been booked
and are awaiting housing. There is seating for 33 inmates in this room; however, temporary holding cells are
limited to 16 inmates. The county received pilot project status in January 2005 to expand the capacity of this
holding room to 32 inmates. Cell door is unlocked.
23-24/JP: There exist two distinct docile sitting areas. Each area holds 16 or fewer seats.
Court Transport Staging Area
Notes: Nonrated court sallyports (A, B, C and D) and visiting areas (3, 4, 5 and 6) are used to hold prisoners
requiring separation. Additional permanent seating added to cells 2 and 4 after 1996-97 inspection. Pursuant to
administrative discussions during the 1998-2000 inspection cells 1 and 2 are rated as "Temporary Staging Cells"
under the 1991 regulations. This allows a capacity in excess of 16 inmates; however, requires that they be
classified (Title 15, Section 1050) and that they be held in those cells no longer than 4 hours.
