The medical observation unit was the first full-fledged jail project I’ve worked on, and it was a great experience helping Davis County Jail develop a space that fills a need.
Project Success
We maintained a delicate balance between security and healing to create a positive environment for the inmates.
I think we’ve only just begun to tap into the resources we will have with this medical wing. The obvious ones have come to the surface…but I think there will be more forthcoming as we get in and start operating.
