| New Cell Block - Washington County Jail |
Our jail addition construction project in Salem, Indiana is nearing completion.
The $9.3M addition and renovation added 204 beds to the existing jail. Washington County was under court order to expand the jail because of overcrowding.
Shireman is performing construction management for Washington County. The project is currently under budget and ahead of schedule.
Next month the jail staff will begin to get trained on all the new equipment, which features state-of-art electronic monitoring, a new kitchen and laundry. The old jail portion may eventually be converted into work-release and community corrections space.
