Durango Jail |
The Durango Jail was built in 1976 as a minimum security jail. The Durango Jail houses approximately 1,500 inmates in nine housing units and two barracks buildings. Each housing unit contains four “pods,” and each pod contains a general-purpose day room area with metal tables and stools, and a bathroom area with toilets and showers. There are three large outside areas for recreation. The Durango Jail houses adult “general population” male inmates. The jail also has a fully staffed and equipped medical clinic, non-denomination chapel and three education classrooms where inmates can attend scheduled religious and educational programs throughout the day.
