CollinCounty Detention Facility

The Sheriff's Office, which is physically separated from the detention building by a plaza entry way, was designed to accommodate maximum future space requirements. Until expansion is necessary portions of the building will remain unfinished, or "shelled out". Offices and staff for the following services and functions are housed in the sheriff's building: administration, court services (civil, warrants, and mental health), support services (human resources, business management, communications, and crime prevention), field operations (patrol and criminal investigation), property/ID, and staff services. The building also has a lower level parking garage for county-owned vehicles. The detention building serves as the support facility for the inmate housing clusters, which will ultimately manage an estimated 1,600 inmates at build-out. Access to and from the building and housing clusters is provided by two separate corridors, the first of which is designated for use by staff and inmates, the other is for visitors and maintenance personnel. The following areas are contained in the detention building: visitor/public reception, administrative and staff offices, conference rooms, classrooms, staff dining, physical training room, staff locker rooms, library, inmate medical clinic, food and laundry service areas, receiving and warehousing, inmate visiting, and inmate processing. Each housing cluster contains a central control station from which all doors within the cluster are controlled and monitored. Also within each cluster are two multipurpose rooms, a satellite medical station, a visitation area, and four inmate housing units.
