August groundbreaking scheduled for new Calaveras County jail project
A consulting team led by architectural/engineering firm PSA-Dewberry, which specializes in corrections and criminal justice facilities, has been selected by Calaveras County to design a new 240-bed jail to replace an aging and chronically overcrowded facility built in 1963.
The $43-million facility in San Andreas will relieve crowding and enable the county to expand its drug treatment and educational programs.
