Notes: The previous living area space evaluation form indicated that there were 16 two-person rooms in the South Wing. At
the 2002/04 inspection, it was determined that there were 19 rooms. Prior to the 2002-04 inspection, room 44 was enlarged
from a two-person room to an eight-person dormitory. (It was evaluated using 2001 regulations.) The RC of this wing is 40
(rated capacity limited by the number of washbasins - see physical plant evaluation). The toilet room was formerly room 35.
During the 2006-08 inspection, the RC was raised to 50 based on a 1:10 washbasin ratio and room square footage.
Formerly designated as the South Wing, during the 2010-2012 inspection cycle, the previous 19 dormitories were renovated
to create two large dormitories with common fixtures. The RC was raised to 118 as a result of the renovation that added
additional fixtures.

Note: The West Wing dormitories were added to the LASE during the 2008-2010 inspection using the later less restrictive
2008 standards. Currently used only for federal inmates this area may eventually be used for county inmates at which time
the total RC will be adjusted.
During the 2010-2012 inspection cycle, the West Dormitory toilet room was renovated with additional fixtures added. The

Note: Previous LASE indicated the RC of Annex (48) was based on 1963 regulations requiring 500 cubic feet of airspace per
inmate. However, the previous Physical Plant Evaluation form (for the Annex) showed applicable regulations as of 1980.
For the 2004/06 inspection cycle, the applicable standards for the Annex on this LASE were changed to 1980 to coincide
with the Physical Plant Evaluation. This increased the capacity of each dormitory.
Formerly the Annex, during the 2010-2012 inspection cycle the toilet room was renovated and additional fixtures were
added. RC was adjusted to reflect the additional fixtures. Dormitory 15 reverted back to housing while Dormitory 11 became
the TV room.
