| Why doesn't management get a brain before they worry about padded cells? There are 10 million other things that this facility needs more than a padded cell. The jail has gone it's entire life (since the late 1800's) without a padded cell. Now all of a sudden they need them? I'm just so glad they spent 115 million dollars on a new building that increases our capacity by 50 give or take a few. Yipee. | |
| You can get info. from C.D.C.R. on there licsense on Padded Safty Cells in there C.T.C. | |
| We operate without padded cells in Australia. The money should be used better. Try programs or staff training. | |

No No No, we will be going back 100 years with this kind of thinking , it`s hard enough for people with a mental illness to be excepted in today`s world, lets help people with a mental illness, spend the money for better things like keeping the consumer out of jail and spend the money on programs that help people with mental illness. |

Actually padded cells are used throughout Australia, in Prisons and Police. They are an effective tool in managing difficult inmates (either drug, alcohol or self harmers) and also ensure there is minimal contact between them and officers. The last thing that is needed is for officers to be continually placed in a situation where they are trying to man handle one of these people. Used properly, and for short periods these rooms are highly effective. |
