basement where ppl with sex crimes are held,also
in the basement the female block is located to
house all females.then the upstairs is where the
GP is,it has two ranges that run down along the
blgd and there are cells on each side of each
range,then to the side of general population is
C-block,which consists of inmates who are in
protective custody,or who have a seperation
against a inmate in GP.behind the GP block there
is the security block where inmate are locked down
23 hours a day,and these are inmates who are out
of controll and cause problems within the
jail,then there is the top floor,which is actually
the roof of the jail,thats where your rec time is
spent
