Renovation of a detention facility in Cheshire, Connecticut. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a detention facility.

The prisoner cell area at Cheshire Police Headquarters needs renovation. The cells are not up to modern standards and the toilet and sink units are old and starting to fail. Due to the liability associated with the care and custody of people placed under arrest and held at the facility, I am requesting funding to renovate seven (7) of the existing eleven (11) cells. There are 11 cells in the prisoner processing area. There are two rows of four cells, compromising 8 "male" cells. There is one area with 3 additional "female" cells. The three-cell area is separate from the eight-cell area so that female prisoners are out of sight and hearing of the male cells. Each cell has traditional bars, and each contains a toilet and sink unit and a wood and metal cot. The toilet units and the cots are one-piece units that are welded to the walls. As of February 25, 2025, this project is included in the City's 2025 Budget. Further information regarding a design firm and timeline for construction has not yet been established. Funding is allotted for FY 2026. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
