Work Deployment Center – The work deployment facility houses up to 384 non-violent under-sentence inmates. This facility is comprised of supervised county work crews and work release participants. Work crews are deployed daily throughout the county to various county departments and save the taxpayers annually over $2 million by performing labor that would otherwise be hired.
