The PC Jail has a capacity of 1296 (708 in the main high-security facility which runs at 100% capacity and 588 in the open dorm, minimum-security jail).

The PC Jail consists of two facilities inside one controlled perimeter. All movement within and between the facilities is controlled by the correctional staff.
