This project improved security and staff working conditions in a 26 year old jail in Quincy, California. The HVAC systems were worn out and the building lacked basic staff support spaces like toilets, locker rooms, and staff training spaces. Plumas County Jail was constructed in 1975 as a Sheriff's Department and 13 person jail. In 1984 an addition increased the capacity to 32 prisoners. In 1996, the Sheriff's staff left the building and
their former office area was converted to a dorm and day room space for a 14 person work-furrow
program.
This $1,183,000 projects adds roughly 3,400 sf to the building and replaces the major components of the worn out HVAC systems. The first phase included construction of a remote mechanical equipment building and the replacement of the failed
boiler. The second phase included a vestibule and accessible public toilet added to the building entrance. The laundry and kitchen spaces were expanded. The existing prisoner
sally port was converted to a staff toilet, shower, locker and training areas. The maximum security yard was relocated and a new and larger, drive-through, prisoner
sally port was added.
