Notes: Handicap water closet and shower available. The total dorm area is 2497 square feet. The 2001 regulations allow
90 ft2./triple bunk (30 ft2/bed + 35 ft2 dayroom for a total of 65 ft2/inmate). The rated capacity was increased from 35 to 36
for males at the 2002 inspection; triple bunks. The capacity is 30 for females, based on availability of only three toilets.

SOUTH MAIN JAIL – SECOND AND THIRD FLOOR HOUSING (Men's East and West)
Historical Notes: Typical cell measurements are listed and, at a minimum of 105 square feet, allow for 3 inmates under
1980 multiple occupancy cell standards (35 square feet per inmate). Four cells in each unit were converted to inmate
accessible program-dayroom space, adding 420 square feet to the existing 937 square feet of traditional dayroom (total
1357 square feet). 1980 regulations allow dayroom to be included within a single or multiple occupancy cell. Based on this
allowance, 35 square feet of each single cell and each multiple occupancy cell with two bunks, was counted as dayroom, to
allow the 45 rated capacity (East: 10 cells X 35 = 350 square feet dayroom; West: 12 cells X 35 = 420 square feet). Based
on traditional dayroom alone, the rated capacity would be a maximum of 39 inmates. With additional beds, dayroom size
would allow a rated capacity of 48 in each unit. The State Fire Marshal occupancy rating allows for a maximum of 20 inmates
on each tier. In 1993, one cell in each unit was modified as a pass-through to the exercise yard. There are a total of 19 cells
in each unit. Each unit has 4 showers.
2014/16 – Upper tier enclosed inmate-accessible program-dayroom space (referenced above) now contains two triple bunks
(6 beds), not occupied. Bars on windows facing into housing unit. Bed count below not changed. Follow up on this at 2016-
18 inspection.
2016/18 – The area noted in the previous inspection is upper tier of Men’s West where there are six bunks in the enclosed
dayroom that has bars on windows facing into housing unit. Agency previously advised housing unit square footage does
not support adding any beds. Added beds in dayroom are non-compliant this cycle; beds not reflected in bed count below.

FEMALE UNITS 226B AND 319
Historical Notes: Prior to 2005 inspection, this was called “special housing” for males, with a total of 698 square feet of
dayroom on both 2nd and 3rd floors. An inmate stairway allowed access to both dayroom areas and allowed for inmate
separation, when needed. There are a total of 10 single and multiple cells between both floors, with the number of beds
varying, depending upon classification needs. The two floors were considered a single unit, with a total rated capacity limited
to 13.
By the time of the 2005 inspection, the floors had been converted to two separate units for housing females. The inmate
stairway was no longer used and inmates were limited to the dayroom space on their housing floor. Staff re-measured
dayroom space on each floor, as later, less restrictive regulations no longer exclude a 3’ corridor along the cell doors from
the dayroom. This contributed to an increase in dayroom space and allowed the total rating for the two floors to go up from
13 to 24 (9 for the 4 cells on 226B and 15 in the 6 cells on 319). Beginning 2005, each floor was considered a separate unit.
