Oldcastle to produce jails cells for
Barnstable County Jail and House of Correction
Telford, Pa, June, 2002 --Oldcastle Precast Modular Group has
recently been awarded the contract to design, manufacture, deliver
and erect the custom precast jail cells for the new Barnstable
County Jail and House of Correction in Bourne, Massachusetts.
The total correctional facility project is approximately $33 million.
The new Barnstable County Jail and House of Correction will replace
the existing facility. It will provide 300 cells (not including the
holding cells), that include special management beds, such as disciplinary
segregation,
administrative segregation, medical segregation, as well as HOC (House
of Correction) and
jail cells. The new facility is a single structure so that all circulation
can take place within the
building.
The facility is planned to house both women and men with a security
level of medium,
maximum and intake. The design includes four (4)-housing units that
are made up of nine (9)
pods. All cell pods are stacked, with a mezzanine level. The 600 bed
project will utilize
Oldcastle's fully outfitted, 5-sided precast concrete correctional
cells. Oldcastle will be
outfitting the pre-painted cells with all electrical and lighting
fixtures, doors, windows, bunks,
combination lavatory/water closet units or ADA lavatories with water
closet, shelves, stools,
desks, and mirrors before shipping to the site. Erection of the precast
cells should begin in October of 2002.
