Cost and Capacity of a proposed Regional Jail serving Pittsylvania. Danville and Patrick Capital Cost Comparison for Each Jurisdiction The jurisdictions' share of the estimated project cost for a regional jail are presented below for the 2013 forecast and the 2018 forecast. In each case, the jurisdictions' share of the project cost is reduced by the state reimbursement of 50% of approved project cost. Capital Cost for the Participating Jurisdictions 2013 Forecast 2018 Forecast Danville $12.6 $18.3 Patrick $ 5.5 $ 6.7 Pittsylvania $12.3 $15.5 Operating Budget and Per Diems An operating budget is difficult to develop without a design and an operating program. Consequently, the budget presented below is a 'ballpark estimate". The base assumptions for this operating budget are: · A Regional Jail is designed and built to accommodate the total secure detention needs of Patrick County and the 'overflow needs of the City of Danville and Pittsylvania County. ,, The required operating capacity of the regional jail for July 2018 is 724. The staff level for the proposed regional jail is consistent with the level normally approved for a facility with an operating capacity of 724. This series of assumptions produces a high (conservative) per diem for prisoner days. If the staffing level is less than approved by the Compensation Board (not recommended), the per diem will be lower. If the 'excess" beds are rented to other jurisdictions (in-state, feds, out of state inmates), the per diem will be lower. The operating budget for the proposed regional jail (in 2004 dollars) is presented on the following page. The individual line items were calculated based on other regional jail expenditures and revenues reported by the Compensation Board for FY-02 Jail Cost Report.
