Almost seven years after the 2014 explosion that destroyed the Escambia Central Booking and Detention facility, the county’s new Correctional Facility project is nearing completion.
During a recent tour, WUWF got a look at some of the design features are aimed at improving the experience for inmates
housed there and the officers - who
work there.
“We would like to welcome you to the expansion of our correctional facility,” said Facilities Management Director Cassie Boatwright, beginning a short open house of sorts for members of the media.
“This new expansion is 303,000 square-feet and includes housing units and support functions for the correctional operations.”
