Summary: Part of the overall, long-term $900 million plan to improve the county's jail<br />
and support facilities, the 4th Avenue Jail will consist of a five-story complex containing<br />
1,116 cells and 1,360 beds. Within the 578,000-sq.-ft. facility is a centralized booking<br />
intake area, two felony processing courtrooms, property storage, medical facilities and<br />
a visitor processing center. Security is maintained through an ultra-modern system of<br />
pneumatic locking devices, touch screen security systems, biometric and card access<br />
systems. A tunnel system connecting the jail and court facilities allows inmates to be<br />
moved securely. The exterior architecture blends in with the surrounding area, utilizing<br />
brick, glass block and metal panels. The design incorporated a steel wall cell system<br />
that reduces the square foot requirements of the building.
