The Denton City Jail in Texas underwent renovations in 2014, which included the construction of a new four-story building with 87,000 square feet of new construction and over 2,800 square feet of renovation. The building primarily consists of concrete masonry unit blocks with a metal roof. It features a total of 384 beds in single, double, and open dormitory-style cells, including a special needs cell unit for high-risk inmates and those with health concerns. The exterior design of the building showcases large housing blocks separated by vertical elements like exercise yards and stair towers, with horizontal windows providing natural light and a sense of scale.
The jail employs direct supervision, with officers stationed around the clock at workstations to make perimeter checks, ensuring security while maintaining a softer exterior in a neighborhood environment. The new facility is connected to the existing pre-trial building and the old jail through an express corridor, with renovations and remodeling in adjacent buildings to facilitate public video visitation. Inmates can make phone calls through the Phone Debit account system and receive postal mail at designated addresses for non-privileged, non-legal mail and privileged, legal mail.
The Denton County Sheriff's Office, responsible for the jail, has faced challenges related to manpower, with staffing shortages and officers working overtime due to illnesses, including COVID-19, as well as leaves of absence for emotional and psychological reasons. The jail has a capacity to house 1,450 inmates, and although it is not currently at full capacity, the department is working diligently within the confines of the jail environment to provide the best care and treatment for inmates.
