In a temporary victory for criminal justice reform activists, plans for a new Santa Clara County jail stalled on Tuesday amid concerns about the company that was set to receive a half-billion dollar contract for the construction of the facility.
“This disturbs me in many ways,” said Walter Wilson, a county resident who spoke during public comment. “It is quite the outrage.” Criminal justice reform activists have soundly rejected the construction of a new jail and claim that it will not increase public safety. Those pushing for the new jail, primarily the executive’s office and the sheriff’s department, point out that conditions of existing Main Jail North are inadequate and a new facility will allow for the county to abide by federal consent decrees.
The $523 million contract with J.E. Dunn planned for a 499-bed facility that would replace Main Jail North, which is set to be razed. The cost of the new facility was projected to be $667 million back in mid-May,, but the price was readjusted this month and dropped by about $100 million. County officials have blamed project delays and inflation on the overall cost jump.
