Urgent Need for New D.C. Jail

Office of the District of Columbia Auditor:

To support the work of the D.C. Council and follow up on its D.C. Jail update from 2019, the Office of the D.C. Auditor contracted with the Council for Court Excellence on this new report. The 2019 ODCA report chronicled poor conditions, an aging and dangerous infrastructure, and a need to replace the jail as soon as possible to protect the jail’s residents and staff.
