The ASPC-Douglas, adjacent to the Bisbee-Douglas Airport , first opened as the Cochise Correctional Training Facility early in 1984. It now consists of 5 units, Gila, Maricopa, Mohave, Complex Detention and Papago DUI. Built with inmate assistance to the contractor, the first unit to become operational at ASPC-Douglas, was the Maricopa unit. The next was the Mohave unit. Do to Prison overcrowding the Gila unit was built with portable modular housing. In 1984 a law was passed that DUI inmates could not be housed with other inmates this created a problem and the Papago Unit was purchased from the Desert Inn Motel Company and converted into a prison unit. A special Detention unit was also added. ASPC-Douglas has an inmate capacity of approximately 2,148 in 5 housing units at security levels 2, 3 and 5. The ADC uses a score classification system to asses inmates appropriate custody and security level placement. The scores range from 1 to 5 with 5 being the highest risk or need. ASPC-Douglas is a modern, medium to high security prison. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
