This facility houses almost 744 pre-trial detainees in 13 different housing units. The jail has 453 cells containing 654 individual beds. The entire facility is maximum security. Philip Markoff, the so-called "Craiglist Killer", was detained and committed suicide while in detention on August 15, 2010.
