Las Colinas Detention and Reentry Facility

Description: The Las Colinas Detention and Reentry Facility (LCDRF) in Santee serves as the primary point of intake for women prisoners in San Diego County. LCDRF provides a greater range of housing options for inmates requiring segregation or special care for medical or mental health needs. With improved facilities and academic/ pre-employment classes, reentry services are another emphasis of LCDRF. Inmates will leave better prepared for successful reintegration to the community, lowering the chance of reoffending.
