"The new Moniteau County jail hosted a number of area residents at the open house held on Saturday, March 2, from 1 to 4 p.m. The jail is on a site north of the courthouse at the corner of North Street and Highway 87.
"The visitors of all ages checked out the three housing pods, booking station, control room and holding cells.
"The main pod is for the general population. One is for females and the third for other inmates, such as temporary weekend holds. Each of the pods contains a common area with tables and seats and several cells on two levels. Individual cells will accommodate from two to six inmates.
"One visitor commented that the cells look comfortable, but once the door is closed, everything changes.
"Each pod has a video visitation station which is connected with one of the three stations in the video visitation room. With the new technology, inmate visitations will be held without the visitor ever being in the same part of the building as the inmate.
"The booking station has "live scan printing" technology for fingerprints. No ink is used with this kind of printing. A breath testing device will soon be installed in the booking area.
"The officer at the booking area can also take booking photos, sometimes called "mug shots."
"The new jail is an up-to-date electronic facility, with the intent of allowing one jailor to maintain control and security. It is designed to provide adequate security, allow reasonable access, efficiency of operation and ease of maintenance." ~ California Democrat
