The court holding facility has its own facility manager and uses the court holding policy manual. For further information see CSA inspection file #5895.

In 1995, the 1994 Standards were implemented to allow Single Occupancy Cells to be double-bunked; however, the RC was limited by the amount of Dayroom space, toilets, showers, etc., per inmate: the 2001 Standards provide additional increase. On August 1, 2001, the BOC conducted a Technical Assistance visit and evaluated this facility for compliance with newer Standards. The primary areas evaluated were the size of the Dayrooms and Single Occupancy Cells, and the number of plumbing fixtures available for regulated ratios (e.g., one shower for every 20 inmates, one toilet for every 10 inmates, etc.). Based on this site-visit, approval was granted to increase the Rated Capacity (RC) of this facility from 584 beds to 674 beds. The cells in question, where the RC was increased, were constructed under the 1982 Standards for Single Occupancy Cells and later, as stated above, allowed to operate under the less restrictive 1994 Standards that provided for Double Occupancy Cells; however, the number of cells in any one unit that were double-bunked have not been previously listed on the Living Area Space Evaluation (LASE). Therefore, to preserve the historical perspective of this transition, the ’00-’02 report referred to these cells as 1982 Single Occupancy Cells allowed under less restrictive standards, to house two inmates per cell. In that report, if approval for an increase in RC was granted, the cell in question was marked with a double asterisk (**). During this inspection (’02-’04) these cell types have been identified as Double Occupancy Cells. Historical Note: During the 16-18 inspection cycle there were no additional changes. Please see historical notes in previous years inspections for detail. The RC remains 696.
