Document Description
A new double perimeter fence that will replace the existing security fence and include installation of improved security lighting, closed circuit television cameras, and a strain-sensitive cable sensor system. The modernized security will include construction of 13 new ground guard posts to replace existing ground guard posts (the existing guard tower will be retained.) A temporary increase in patients and staff is being proposed by DMH for up to 250 additional patients (and approximately 250 to 300 staff over 3 shifts) that may be brought to Patton State Hospital from January 2003 until one year after a new DMH facility opens in Coalinga. The proposed patient/staff increases would include installation of up to 16 modular buildings within the two secure areas of the hospital and the conversion of some office/treatment space in existing buildings in to living space for patients. An upgrade of the hospital's high-voltage electrical system as the electrical system at Patton State Hospital is operating at capacity. The upgrade of the high voltage electrical system would consist of replacing 54 distribution transformers throughout the hospital facilities and increasing the system from 2,400 volts to 4,160 volts.
