About
the Center
The
Harold R. Banke Justice Center is one of the most technologically
secure facilities of its kind in the country. It houses a 1,536
bed detention center, the county sheriffs headquarters, and
court facilities, including 18 courtrooms.
Construction
began in October 1998. The inmate housing area was constructed of
pre-cast, pre-formed concrete developed off-site and transported
to the construction site.
The
courthouse was constructed on site by a combination of steel and
concrete masonry.
