Correctional healthcare built for today's 1956 jail and the fully equipped medical unit planned for its 2026 replacement.
Anderson County is running its Detention Division out of a 1956 building while a replacement, 640 beds and infrastructure sized for up to 1,000 inmates, is under construction and tentatively completing in December 2026. GENESYS would take on physician leadership now, in the current facility, and carry that same program directly into the new building's fully equipped medical unit, nursing station, laboratory, pharmacy, telemedicine and mental health space, when it opens.
GENESYS is physician-owned, with a named medical director accountable for clinical policy and NCCHC-aligned standards of care, and clinical decisions made by doctors rather than a minimum-cost staffing plan. Vacancies are covered through overtime, compliance pool nurses and PRN staffing pools so open shifts are filled through the transition. Schedule an assessment and we will walk through a transition plan that carries through to Anderson County's new facility.
Every GENESYS contract is built from the same nine services, sized to the facility's population and staffing model. Each one has its own page with the detail.
We will walk through a staffing plan, coverage hours and how the transition would work for your population.
The Anderson County Sheriff's Office, Detention Division, runs the current Detention Center at the Law Enforcement Center, 305 Camson Road in Anderson, built in 1956. The Division holds an average daily population of approximately 400 inmates, about 319 male and 65 female, and books roughly 4,500 new arrests a year, in a county of 203,718 people.
Anderson County broke ground on a replacement facility on August 16, 2024, planned at 140,000 square feet with 640 beds and infrastructure sized for up to 1,000 inmates, tentatively completing in December 2026. A healthcare partner here needs a program that runs in the current 1956 building today and moves directly into the new facility's purpose-built medical unit when it opens.
The current Detention Center dates to 1956, and the county is replacing it with a new facility that broke ground in August 2024 and is tentatively scheduled for completion in December 2026. Age is the reason the county gives for building new, not a reason to change how care runs in the meantime. A clinical program here has to operate fully within a nearly 70 year old building right up to the day a new one opens, then move its staffing and records into the replacement without a gap in coverage.
The replacement facility's design includes, per the project architect, a fully equipped medical unit with a nurses' station, a head nurse's office, a laboratory and a pharmacy, plus dedicated spaces for telemedicine and mental health services and accommodation for mobile dentistry. A clinical program moving into that space needs to already run every one of those functions, nursing, pharmacy, telehealth, mental health and dental coordination, to use space built specifically for them from the day the new jail opens.
The county's own materials describe the new facility as 640 beds; the project architect separately describes its "immediate capacity" as 608 beds, with the same infrastructure sized for up to 1,000 inmates. The county figure of 640 is used above.
Yes. A replacement facility broke ground on August 16, 2024, planned at 140,000 square feet with 640 beds, per the county, and infrastructure sized for up to 1,000 inmates. Completion is tentatively scheduled for December 2026.
Per the project architect, the design includes a fully equipped medical unit with a nurses' station, a head nurse's office, a laboratory and a pharmacy, plus dedicated telemedicine and mental health spaces and accommodation for mobile dentistry services.
The Detention Division reports an average daily population of approximately 400 inmates, about 319 male and 65 female, with approximately 4,500 new arrests booked each year.
Using Vera Institute data, the average daily jail population across the last three years with data available is about 390.
