The District of Columbia bas constructed a new
detention center to replace tn older jail and the women's
detention center. The new center lacks enough cells to
accommodate the detention population and thereby precludes the
closing of the District jail and the women's detenticn center.
Also, the new center does not include the planned diagnostic and
classification services Jue to a shortage of space. The District
is planning to add 480 cells to the center at an estimated cost
of $12 to $13 million. ?indings/Conclusions: The 480-cell
addition will be inadequate to acccmmodate peak detention
population projections and will not provide space for the
diagnostic and classification services. The detention population
may reach a peak of 1,581 by 1980 according to a 1971
consultant's study. Recommendations: The District of Columbia
should use all pertinent factors to determine space requirements
ia planning for the addition to the detention center, including
projections of peak daily detention populations and provision of
space for diagnostic and classification services. (Author/QM)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaacju0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
