— OVERVIEW
Sanpete County Sheriff’s Complex is a 128-bed county jail facility that includes the sheriff’s office, 911 and dispatch, an emergency operations center (EOC) and training facilities. This jail incorporates indirect supervision to oversee the inmate population and does it with a remarkably efficient staff/inmate ratio. Central control is located at the center of the main jail support area and has direct views down each corridor to as many as three housing pods and direct views to the kitchen, laundry and loading dock. Access to the pod control room is from the second-level sheriff’s office administrative area and is totally ADA accessible. Communication with officers on the floor, individual inmates, and the entire dayroom is accomplished with intercoms throughout the facility, and all doors are opened and locked via touch screens in the pod control room. Indirect supervision maximizes efficiencies and reduces operating costs.
