Slated to open in 2020, Santa Clara County’s new state-of-the-art jail will feature a design focused on mental health treatment, on programs to reduce recidivism and on a centralized re-entry floor to assist inmates with their return to the community. In addition, the facility will make use of key urban design principles befitting its proximity to downtown San Jose. Come learn more about this ambitious project.
