Opened in May 1999, the Joseph V. Conte Facility is a male, medium-custody facility housing mainly inmates awaiting trial. Conte is a direct supervision facility, meaning deputies are stationed inside the housing units and interact directly with inmates. Meals, recreation, counseling, treatment programs and medical care are provided within the housing units, eliminating the need to escort inmates to other areas to receive them. The Conte Facility is program intensive and includes 30 and 60 day substance abuse programs, the court ordered ISAP and ATACC programs, as well as various educational programs.

Built at a cost of $25.5 million, the facility houses 1,328 inmates and is staffed by 231 law enforecement and civilian personnel.

The facility is named for Joseph Conte, a 47-year-old BSO detention deputy, killed in the line of duty in July 1979. Click here for more information.
