BUETOW AND ASSOCIATES, INC. ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS 2345 RICE STREET SUITE 210 ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA 55113 TEL. 612/493-9701 ANOKA COUNTY ADULT CORRECTIONAL FACILITY The ACF is sited on the existing Anoka County Campus adjacent to the State prison. The existing County property contains two juvenile detention cottages and a new (1991) juvenile shelter. The proposed new Adult Correctional Facility will house up to 60 county prisoners serving terms of less than one year. Prisoners will be brought to the facility from the county jail in Anoka after they have been sentenced. The ACF will be licensed and inspected by the State Department of Corrections and managed by the Anoka County Corrections Department. There will be a total staff of 18 persons working in the facility, including all shifts. The ACF will get food service from the State prison, just as the county juvenile center does now. City sewer and water utilities will serve the building. Visitors to the building will park south of the building on a lot to be built by the State prison and shared by the county. Staff will park on the north side. Perimeter walls will be built of solid reinforced concrete masonry. The exterior of the building will have earth tone colors that will complement the existing adjacent cottages and Juvenile Center, and have a heavy landscape tree buffer to the north, east and south. Windows will not exceed 6 inches in width, to prevent escape. Each entrance will be secured by remote controlled doors and sallyports. The required outdoor recreation areas will have tight -meshed chain link material with a curved top so as to be unclimbable. No "razor ribbon" will be used.
