(18:51) SANTA CRUZ- The Santa Cruz County Grand Jury has made recommendations for upgrades to county correctional facilities. The Grand Jury recently toured and inspected four detention facilities; the Main Jail, Rountree Men’s Medium Security Facility, Juvenile Hall Detention Center, and the Blaine Street Women’s Minimum Security Facility. All were found to be well run and generally in good physical condition, with some signs of wear from their years of service. The Grand Jury recommends increased security around the Main Jail kitchen door and the area beyond, improved utilization of cells in the Main Jail Medical Unit and Observation Unit, more detailed treatment plans and quicker medical response for at risk inmates, and a minor upgrade to one cell.
