South West Detention Centre

Construction of the South West Detention Centre, which was announced on September 26, 2008 by the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, supports the Ontario government’s commitment to safe, strong communities.

Construction of the new 315-bed facility will ensure we have a new facility ready to help meet our current and future capacity needs and to resolve issues regarding overcrowding at the aging Windsor Jail.

The South West Detention Centre will:

• Maintain the highest of security standards, with state-of-the-art technology
• Reduce inmate overcrowding in Windsor and Essex County
• Reflect sound correctional practices in a functional, maximum security working environment
