ITS TIME TO GO BACK TO JAIL!
As an HDSA member, you are invited to spend a day at the Descanso Detention Facility on May 20, 2009
We will meet at Ridgehaven at 10:00 am (sharp) and will take the jail bus to the Alpine area jail.
The oldest operating jail in the county was formerly a probation camp until the Sheriff's department took it over in 1980. Tthis type ll medium security facility averages about 330 inmates and features a greenhouse, k-9 training grounds, weapons firing range, medical dispensary, several class rooms, water reclamation plant and 12 dorms.
Our visit will encompass most of these structures and may include some special behind the scenes look at some of these.
The Descanso Detention Facility is slated to close this june, so this will more than likely, be the last chance to visit the 14 acre grounds.
Please contact Virginia at 858-974-2296 or Mark Lyons at 760-931-5397 to RSVP this invitation.
We depart the Sheriff Headquarters (Ridgehaven) on May 20 at 10:00AM sharp.
The sheriff's transportation unit will provide the ride to and from the DDF, and as usual, a fine lunch will be provided.
The tour is scheduled to end about 2:00pm and arrival back to Ridgehaven should be around 3:00.
Please do not miss this opportunity to tour this jail. The deputys stationed here are proud of their facility and want to show it off and meet some of the membership of the HDSA. Our presence will give them a chance to know that we support them and that there are people out there who appreciate what they do.
