FROM: Phil Batchelor, County Administrator tetra
Costa
DATE: November 1, 1984 County
SUBJECT: Relief of Jail Overcrowding
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Reaffirm the emergency declared on September 28 , 1984 , to implement
immediate measures to address inmate escapes at the Clayton Rehabilitation
Center and overcrowding at the Martinez Detention Facility and approve
renovating the former kitchen and schoolroom for inmate housing to relieve
the severe overcrowding at the Martinez Detention Facility.
BACKGROUND
The Board on September 28 , 1984 made findings declaring an emergency and
directed Public Works to proceed with installation of a new perimeter
fence at the Clayton Rehabilitation Center.
The emergency was created by the overcrowding of inmates in the Martinez
Detention Facility and the transfer of greater numbers of inmates to Clayton.
In order to protect the health and welfare of staff and inmates, actions are
required immediately to further decrease the overcrowding at the Martinez
facility. The Sheriff recommends that the Board find an emergency, and
that it proceed to immediately renovate the old kitchen and schoolroom at
Clayton to house 60 inmates of non-violent misdemeanor/light felony
classifications to relieve the overcrowding, thus leaving the secure beds
at the Martinez Detention Facility for those requiring the greater security.
The population in the Detention Facility has averaged 520 in a structure
designed to accommodate 386 , including up to 160 in the intake area designed
for 52. Such overcrowding increases danger to the staff and inmates, and it
is imperative to initiate immediate action to decrease the population and
reduce the potential for such dangers.
It is recommended that your Board reaffirm the emergency declared on
September 28 , 1984 , and approve the expanded project at Clayton for
renovating the old kitchen and schoolroom to relieve the severe over-
crowding at the Martinez Detention Facility.
