San Diego Sheriff Kelly Martinez has unveiled a bold $500 million, 10-year plan to improve the county’s jail system. "It's been one of my priorities from the very beginning," she said. "I've talked a lot about we need to prioritize and improve our jail system." The plan, which was presented to the San Diego County Board of Supervisors earlier this month, details some of the work needed at each of the county's seven jails. The oldest facility is the Vista Detention Facility, which was built in the 1970s. The department expects to spend more than $300 million on the Vista jail with renovations and possibly a new building entirely. Sheriff Martinez says none of the improvements are designed to house more inmates. Instead, the department wants to make changes to become more ADA compliant and cater to the mental health and substance abuse needs of the jail population. Some of that work has already begun.
