Corplan Corrections would like to highlight the following facts:

• More design/build/financing experience with governmental detention projects than any other architect/developer Team in the Southwest.
• More financial experience, capability, understanding and “know-how” to properly and legally provide funding for this project than anyone else in the Southwest. We have extensive experience in work with the Attorneys General of Texas and their staffs in various States.
• More current experience in County detention facilities than any other Team in the Southwest.
• More experience in programming, needs analysis, staff analysis and staff training procedures than any other development Team in the State. We are the only team to design and construct 33 correctional facilities in Texas, Louisiana, Colorado, New Mexico and Idaho. This includes the largest privately financed correctional center in the United States – the 1,500-bed Bradshaw State Jail in Henderson Texas; the 500-bed Webb County Detention Center; the 1,100-bed Garza County Correctional Center, the 500-bed Willacy County Detention Center, the 500-bed La Salle County Detention Center in Encinal, Texas, the 500-bed West Texas Detention Center in Sierra Blanca, Texas and the 500-bed Otero County Correctional Facility in Chaparral, New Mexico.

We have an excellent track record with past clients with respect to controlling costs, quality of work and ability to meet schedules.
