The roof of the Elmwood M3 Barracks, on which repairs began in October, 2016, failed as a result of the extraordinarily wet weather the Bay Area experienced this winter, and as a result the interior of the building received significant water damage. It is critical that these barracks are brought back on line as soon as possible, as they are needed to temporarily house inmates coming from the Main Jail; many pending projects at that location are on hold pending the ability to make space available by transferring inmates to Elmwood.
