East County Detention Center “Green Light”

The 1,626-bed East County Detention Center (ECDC) received the “green

light” from the State last month, paving the way for construction to begin

on the new 516,000 square foot detention facility on the site of the

existing Indio Jail. The added beds will reduce the impacts of early inmate

releases and improve safety in the local community with its modern,

efficient and secure design. The $330 million project is being funded

through a combination of county bond funds and a $100 million funding

program (essentially a grant) from the State of California.

Other capital projects funded through the 30-year bond include a parking

structure, Emergency Operations Centers in Indio and Riverside,

classrooms at the Ben Clark Training Center, courtrooms at the Larson

Justice Center in Indio

and at the Southwest

Justice Center in

French Valley, and a

laundry expansion at

the Larry D. Smith

Correctional Facility in

Banning.
