 Originally opened in 1971, the Central Detention Center (CDC) served as the main county jail for over 20 years. Overcrowding in the 1980s led to the construction of the West Valley Detention Center in 1991. Central Jail, as it was previously known, closed briefly due to budgetary constraints but reopened in 1994 after the sheriff negotiated a contract with the U.S. Marshal’s Service to house federal inmates. For more than 20 years, CDC has been the primary booking facility for police and sheriff stations in the east valley area, processing over 20,000 inmates annually. The facility houses over 600 county inmates and 200 federal inmates, although at its peak, it accommodated up to 850 federal inmates daily. CDC also serves as a west coast hub for the U.S. Marshal’s Service, managing the transportation and housing of federal inmates arriving from and departing to locations across the U.S. and the Pacific Rim Islands. Federal grants and contracts have enabled significant retrofitting and upgrades to the facility. Inmates at CDC have access to programs such as high school diploma education and substance abuse intervention, while the center also hosts programs for at-risk youth. The dedicated staff at CDC remain committed to adapting to the evolving correctional environment and serving the citizens of San Bernardino County.
