7 93 Matthew A. Miller, Director Dauphin County Prison YEAR-END REPORT 2011 WARDEN DOMINICK L. DEROSE PART 1 INTRODUCTION - 1 - - 2 - Dauphin County Prison AN OVERVIEW As reported by The Patriot-News, the first Dauphin County jail was built on land which was conveyed by John Harris, Jr., to the County commissioners for public use when the town was first laid out. It was torn down in 1839, and a new building located at 223 Walnut Street in Harrisburg was begun in 1840 and completed in 1841. The Prison was renovated in 1901, with two tiers added; apparently overcrowding was a problem even then. A County grand jury visiting the structure in 1920 found good conditions there but, nevertheless, recommended that the Prison be relocated to the suburbs near the County home.

8 This was not accomplished until many years later after the escape of a condemned murderer and when conditions of the physical plant had deteriorated badly. Of 160 cells in the jail in 1952, 18 cells could not be used, and major repairs to the heating, electrical, and plumbing systems were needed. Dauphin County Prison was dedicated at the current site on June 23, 1956, and began to house inmates in 1957. It had a rated capacity of 164. Subsequent renovations and expansions in 1979 (E and F Blocks), 1986 (Spring Creek Center), 1991 (the Pre-Release Center), and 1994 (the Pod) increased single cell capacity to 716.

9 That capacity was decreased to 508 on November 9, 1999, when, due to deterioration, the Pre-Release Center was taken out of service, and all inmates housed in that temporary structure were relocated to other housing areas of the Prison . Oversight responsibility for the Dauphin County Prison is invested in The Board of Prison Inspectors ( Prison Board), which includes the three County Commissioners, the President Judge of the Court of Common Pleas (or designee), the District Attorney, the Controller and the Sheriff. Also included, as an ex-officio member, is a representative for the Magisterial District Judges.

10 This Board, which sets policy for the Prison , meets on a monthly basis to hear reports from Prison staff and make necessary decisions. The Warden is charged with the responsibility of overseeing the daily operations of the Prison . There are two operational divisions within the Prison which report to the Warden: security and treatment. Each of these is directed by a Deputy Warden and sub-divided into a number of sections. Three contracted providers also work with the Prison : PrimeCare Medical, Inc., provides medical services; ARAMARK provides food service; and OASIS provides inmate commissary services.
