These are buildings used for the detention of people either awaiting trial or for convicted offenders serving sentences for law violations. They include a complete prison plant, from minimum to maximum-security facilities, commensurate with the quality. Divided into individual cells, most jails are built of steel frame, reinforced concrete or masonry.
Floor coverings typically include asphalt tile or vinyl tile and lower quality jails use only exposed concrete slab floors. Interior finishes are plain, using exposed masonry or painted finishes. Lighting and plumbing are adequate to serve both the detained and supervisory personnel.
For minimum lock-up facilities, use occupancy 489 (Jail, Police Station).
The costs include jail hardware but do not include kitchen, laundry or recreational equipment.
Availability of Elevators by Area for this occupancy: No
Marshall Valuation Service sections: 15 and 45.
