Go right across the street and up the hill from the CBD . There is a park there currently that is rarely used. (In 6 years I have not seen anyone use the park). It’s higher in elevation and didn’t flood. Rebuild the park on the current CBD location.

The best location is 601 297-A Cantonment,FL 32533. Facility already exist there. And inmates are less likely to escape from that location. Combining the two jails together would improve the overall property and Camp 5 could receive a full renovation. Repair and renovation is most needed. I agree with first proposal.Please relocate to 601 297-A Cantonment,FL 32533. And besides there are children daycare nurseries less than a mile away from the Commerce Park .Beulah would be to close to stateline and would possibly assist inmates to escape easier. County Commissioners please rebuild at 601 297-A Cantonment,FL 32533. It makes no sense in wasting tax payer dollars on other vacant properties.

The jail house should stay in the city! Why bring it to the backwoods where inmates can flee and get away alot easier than in the city. It’s just a really bad idea to bring it where no one wants it. I don’t like the idea of it coming to beulah. Just leave it downtown!

I think alot of us are missing the point here…. Who runs the jail? Why did the old jail blow up? Why was there a 3 day warning (inmates and guards complaining and going home early), but yet nothing was done about it? Everything is not as it seems…. watch , listen and learn. Ask questions…

it is true that Arizona has a jail system and the inmates hate to go there. it is just a thought…as for visitation, over in Gulf County, Fl the visits are done outside and there is a six foot fence between the visitor and the inmate. no tables, chairs, a/c…and that jail has no a/c or heat so it is hot hot hot in the summer and freezing in the winter…I like the idea of the Arizona jail because the inmates grow their own food…build their own living space…and even though they should be treated humanely..i am not in favor of making them have a lot of the comforts of home. what lesson does that teach?

The Road Prison compound has 2 -8″ gas mains that cut the compound in half. The rest qualifies as swamp ground.
Not a good option.
Put it by the landfill and fast track the I-10 connector for easy transport to and from.

LET US ALL THINK like adults.
The road camp area / land is already a confinement facility. Improvements of the facility confinement fence would be less costly than an all new fence for a facility located else where. Construction of a new jail / facility on the same property will also be less costly because most of the utility facilities are already there and would only need up-grading compared to the cost of a completely new system.

The question of transporting prisoners to and from court. The system is already in place for VIDIO conferencing. This is also safer for everyone, the prisoners never need to be in public, can you say safety? Cost for this system will be less than the constant upgrading old buildings will less than ideal results.

So, all and all I say build a new, safer, state of the art jail / intake facility at the Road Camp facility. There is a perfect road to Pine Forest & 9-Mile that is mostly NEW and not subject to flooding for those that worry about such things.

ALSO, a better design (new) will help with the cost of segregating the dangerous prisoners, keeping track of prisoners movements as well as the cost of feeding. New facility, safer facility, more cost effective design and centralized resulting in overall savings in the long run.

So, I say the new JAIL should be in Cantonment, at the Road Camp location.

CottageHill,Molino,some of Cantonment was easy living before the scums and people that did not make their children mind started moving in. This was before the 90’s. Since the DCF started letting kids do as they please not have to work or mind there parents it has gotten worse. In some cases they have helped some kids but a blank slate only opened more rebellion. The kids are left along for too long to fend for themselves and let others control what they do or say. When people become responsible for their actions and do the right thing they will keep the area safe. Parents get control of your kids teach them right from wrong and keep a closer eye on them. Maybe you might help a few from filling up the jail cells.And yes keep the jail downtown so the bail bonds and lawyers won’t have to move

I thought living in the “country” would be peaceful but after repeatedly reading about burglars breaking into homes, holding people in their living rooms, the Village druggies, the Cottage Hill issues, lotto store owners murdered…..the countryside doesn’t sound so peaceful. Like it or not, we the public have the responsibility to house prisoners humanely and sounds like plenty of them are good old country boys and girls.

They are prisoneers. They broke they law. What makes them so special that they need new and better liviing conditions. Just get more razor wire, some peanut butter and jelly. If there is no electricor water so what? Obey the law and they can have as much electric and water as they want. Keep the jail/prison in town thats where most of them broke the law. People live out of town for the peace, quiet and security lets keep it that way. Adopt some of Arizonas procdedures so they will remember what it is like in jail. Keep the jail out of Cantonment, Buelah and anywhere else away from town.
