Inmate housing includes eight new generation podular direct supervision tiered units with dayrooms, classrooms, medical services area, visiting, and circulation space.

The combination of settings allows for a flexible placement of inmates that adjusts with fluctuating needs. Eighty-nine percent (89%) of the Santa Ana Jail contains 149,826 gross square feet of indoor space. The total square footage in the building, including the vehicle sallyport and outdoor recreation areas, is 168,243. The detention facility's building area is located on four levels. Level one contains the largest area in the building, followed by inmate housing space on levels three and four. The second level contains the smallest area of space where administrative functions and inmate release processing occurs. The first potential Jail reuse feasibility option that the consultant team analyzed focuses on a Jail use scenario which involves the continual operational use of the Type II Jail facility as a temporary holding detention facility which can only detain individuals up to 24 hours. This option utilizes the ground floor of the Jail facility, primarily involves the vehicle sallyport and arrestee intake / release processing areas. The administration area on the second floor is also utilized for inmate release processing and Jail management functions. Santa Ana City Jail Reuse Feasibility Study Reuse Option Scenario Jail Use as a Temporary Holding Facility Only Analysis and Assessment: The assessment information and supporting data which the consultant team developed is summarized and highlighted in the following analysis: Operational Data, Fiscal Analysis and Advantages /Disadvantages Considerations A Description of Jail Reuse Option: This Jail Reuse Feasibility Option would continue the operational use of the Type II Jail as a temporary holding facility which can only detain individuals up to 24 hours. Established Jail policies and procedures would still be in effect. The facility would also comply with State detention standards governing detainee incarceration practices. Implementation of this option would require access and daily use of five primary building spaces including (1) vehicle sallyport, (2) intake processing / release, (3) administration unit, (4) lobby / public area, and (5) Central Control room. These spaces contain 41,369 square feet of building area and represent 26.3% of the Jail's total functional use area space.
