The overall facility design delivers an efficient, safe, and modern corrections environment to successfully manage inmate populations while separating differing security classification levels. The medium/maximum facility features a central circulation path known as “The Boulevard”, with all services necessary for normal daily operations such as visitation, dining, education, medical, and vocational training accessible to inmates along a single linear building structure.

The population can actively participate in a range of activities and move among programs and services freely on the boulevard providing each individual a degree of agency in managing their day-to-day affairs.

An adjacent, standalone facility for minimum-security inmates contains three buildings similarly clustered around a central commons providing the same degree of agency and program access for the population, who also participate in agricultural programs on adjacent State-owned lands.
