Type of Institution where you work

[wonderwoman]

Good morning!! :)

How old is your institution/jail/correctional facility?

What do you house in it... female, male, other ( :) ), young offenders?

Are you max., med., or min. security type?

[JKT]

20 years old this month, but currently under partial renovation.

We house male, female, (and shemales) :D

and are considered a max security facility, but do have an area that is considered medium.

The jail in my county is about 25 years old, and houses everyone we drop off. :D I know they take everybody but the ankle biters and those have to go to a separate juvenile institution about an hour and a half drive away! :rolleyes: They have the usual housing classifications, minimum, medium and max., they also have what you would consider a supermax for the real idiots! :D

Our Detention Center is about 15 yoa. We plan on adding approx.150-200 beds within the next 5 years. We house both male and females, and also min and max inmates. We do not house inmates for the state or for the feds. We are not a direct supervision facillity at this time. But it is a possibility for the future.

[Amish Mafia]

Male max. Pop 830 +/- a few. Unit management system.

My jail was built in 1929. It's a medium facility with i/m's 18-25. We're considered a youth jail but we do have a few youngsters and a few older guys. The majority is 18-25 and the average bid is roughly 3 years. Not a bad place to work.

[Cptwolf127]

Yes, it also caught my attention and I thought for a second that I had been caught in a time warp.

Anyhow, its good to know that you are still around.

P/s - I still run into Art now and again.

My life at present leaves me little time for forum play. Hopefully it won't last for more then a few more years!! :D
