To
COLORADO From Ed Jordan, Sheriff
Jail Task Force Recommendations
subject
At the May 31, 1991 meeting of the Jail Task Force, the following
recommendations were adopted unanimously:
1. The juvenile population of the jail should be housed in a
separate juvenile detention facility to be built in the Weld
County Business Park. The juvenile facility should include the
population of the juvenile population in the County jail and the
Youth Shelter Home with separate modules for a shelter home,
staff secured, and locked facility.
It is recommended that the Juvenile Justice Committee work with
County staff and an architect to design the facility's physical
structure and program structure.
2. Additional adult space should be provided in the current jail
facility by:
A. Transform a portion of the Centennial Center Third Floor
into a work-release minimum security area.
B. Transform the existing juvenile housing area and the adult
work-release space into an adult female housing section.
C. Connect the existing female housing section to the adult
male holding area. (Combine "A" Pod and "B" Pod. )
D. Connect the existing trustee area to the adult male holding
area. (Combine "C" Pod and "D" Pod. )
E. Modify the First Floor administrative office area.
910502
F. Install new walk-in cooler (80 sf) and freezer (60 sf) in
basement kitchen area.
The details of the above remodel can be found in the attached feasibility
study done by Boer Associates, Inc. dated May 15, 1991.
The above modification will provide a separate juvenile facility, as well
as add 94 adult inmate beds in the current facility. It is believed the
above modification will not require additional correctional officer
positions or juvenile detention/Youth Shelter positions.
This report completes the charge of the Jail Task Force. If you have
questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Weld County officials are facing an
increase in the demand for inmate
housing. In addition, alternative
programs such as "work release" , have
grown substantially and require the
need for additional minimum security
type housing.
To accommodate these demands for
additional inmate housing, this study
will examine the potential to modify
and/or renovate selected interior
spaces of the existing jail facility.
The use of a portion of the third
floor of the Centennial Center as a
potential minimum security housing
area will also be considered.
In addition this study outlines
modifications to the administrative
are on the main floor and a new walk-
in cooler and freezer set-up for the
kitchen located in the basement .
This study will not address the
potential for the development of a
new jail complex or alternate
approaches to incarceration through
the development of vocational
training and rehabilitation programs ,
geared to short-term incarceration.
Study Objectives
al1.0f.3n<y 4
The existing jail facility was
occupied 1978 and is located in
downtown Greeley. The 55,000 square
feet , three story building was
constructed using a post-tensioned
concrete floor and column system.
Exterior walls are reinforced
concrete block with a brick finish.
Interior walls and partitions are
non-load bearing. Mechanical and
electrical systems are built into the
ceiling spaces . Because of this type
of construction, modifications to the
interior of the facility are
relatively easy to accomplish.
The sheriff ' s office and related
administration offices are located
on the main floor . Inmate housing
is on the second and third floor .
The facility was originally designed
to house 110 adult males , 12 adult
females and 16 juveniles . A major
renovation of the jail building was
accomplished in 1985 resulting in a
substantial increase in adult male
holding capacity (209 inmates total ) .
An open air exercise, area of
approximately 4000 square feet was
added to the third floor in 1988.
The Existing Jail
5
The 1985 and 1988 modifications to
the jail have brought the inmate
population to it ' s maximum in terms
of inmate housing. The relocation
of the juvenile population and the
work-release adults would, however ,
result in additional adult inmate
holding capacity in the existing jail
facility.
This study anticipates that the
juvenile population will eventually
be housed in a separate ( regional )
juvenile detention facility to be
built elsewhere. Long-range plans
by the County indicate that a
separate County office facility may
be developed elsewhere in Greeley.
Under the above scenario, the
existing juvenile holding area and
the work-release space can be
transformed into an adult female
section with a capacity of 30 adult
females . A portion of the third floor
of the Centennial building can be
utilized as a minimum security area
to house the adult work-release
people .
Concept Space Analysis
91_®5?2
6
Based on the assumption that the
County will vacate a portion of the
third floor of the Centennial Center
and also further assuming that the
,juvenile population will be moved to
a different facility, the following
modifications to the existing jail
facility are recommended:
PLAN "A"
TRANSFORM A PORTION OF THE
CENTENNIAL CENTER THIRD
FLOOR INTO A WORK-RELEASE
MINIMUM SECURITY AREA.
Refer to Exhibits 1 and 2
- This adjustment will allow a total
work-release capacity of ninety
adults .
- Existing work release space will
become available to house
additional maximum security female
inmates , which will eliminate the
female overcrowding problem.
- Staff for Supervisory station is
existing.
( formerly in adult male on the
second floor)
See under Plan "D"
PLAN "B"
TRANSFORM THE EXISTING
JUVENILE HOUSING AREA AND
THE ADULT WORK RELEASE
SPACE INTO AN ADULT FEMALE
HOUSING SECTION .
Refer to Exhibits 3 and 4
- This adjustment increases the
adult female population from ten
to thirty .
- The supervision and management of
the adult female section will be
improved and simplified because of
the location of the holding area.
Recommendations
91051_ 27
i
PLAN "C"
CONNECT THE EXISTING
FEMALE HOUSING SECTION TO
THE ADULT MALE HOLDING AREA.
(COMBINE A POD AND B POD)
Refer to exhibit 5
- This adjustment will increase the
adult male maximum security
capacity by fourteen adults .
- One full-time jail supervisory
station will be transferred to new
female holding area.
- Former adult female day-room is
now available as an extra multi
purpose room.
PLAN "D"
CONNECT THE EXISTING TRUSTEE AREA TO
THE ADULT MALE HOLDING AREA.
(COMBINE C POD AND D POD)
Refer to exhibit 6
- This adjustment will increase the
adult male maximum security
capacity by two adults .
- One full-time supervisory duty
station can be transferred to the
new work-release area (3rd floor ) .
- Relocate existing bathroom
fixtures (3 sets ) to adult male
rooms in C Pod.
Recommendations
PLAN "F"
MODIFY THE FIRST FLOOR
ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE
AREA.
Refer to Exhibit 3 and 4
- This proposal will increase the
number of work stations and will
in general improve the traffic flow
and daily functions of the criminal
and civil office staff .
- Additional storage space will
eliminate fire code violations
which are caused by storing items
in hallways .
PLAN "F"
INSTALL NEW WALK-IN COOLER ( 80 sf)
AND FREEZER (60 sf) IN BASEMENT
KITCHEN AREA.
Refer to exhibit 7
- This addition will meet the demand
for increased food preparation
activities in the kitchen.
The proposed modifications as
listed above will adjust the jail
population as follows :
Existing population is 209
Increase work-release by 66
Increase adult female by 20
Increase adult male by 16
Decrease juvenile by 8
Proposed population is 301
Net population gain is 94
Recommendations

The Exhibits show the proposed
modifications in a concept plan
format . Construction cost budgets are
based on the concept of utilizing the
existing ceilings , mechanical systems
and electrical systems with minor
modifications . Further-more the
locations of new interior walls and
partitions are proposed to correspond
with the existing ceiling grid.

PLAN "A" THIRD FLOOR WORK RELEASE
AREA:
' Demolition $ 25,000
New Construction $175 ,000

94
Construction Costs
91.0522 .
The timing of actual construction is
dependent on the following events :
- Construction work for the work-
release area (Plan A) can
commence anytime after the west
end of the third floor of the
Centennial Center is vacated.
- The proposed adult female holding
area (Plan B) can be completed
after juveniles have moved.
- Adjustments to the second floor
adult areas (Plan C) can be done
anytime after the adult females

- Modifications to the
administration offices (Plan D)
is not related to any of the jail
holding sections . Construction
of this work can be scheduled
anytime.
