West County Detention Facility

Of that number, an average of 120 to 150 individuals are there under ICE custody and are being processed for removal from the United States based on violations of immigration laws.

The money is going towards the construction of a high-security wing that can jail 400 extra inmates who are currently housed at the Martinez Detention Facility.

The facility offers programs that the inmates can take advantage of, such as, DEUCE (substance abuse, anger and stress management, job development), computer applications including web design, adult basic education, independent study, transitional services, English as a Second Language (ESL), GED / High School Diploma preparation and testing, sign making, and chaplain program.
