Purgatory Correctional Facility completes expansion

With construction completed, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to usher in a single level, 14,000 square foot, low security detention facility in Hurricane, now known as the Community Corrections Center, which replaces the dilapidated modular structures that are 16 years out of date. The $2 million building has two large, open dorms, which hold 60 bunks each, in addition to laundry, dining, bathroom and shower facilities. The new facility has a capacity of up to 128 inmates and is designed for expansion if needed. St George News
