Healthcare planning for a consolidated city-county jail system run by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office across three facilities.
Duval County's consolidated city-county government runs jail healthcare contracting through the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Department of Corrections, more than 750 officers and civilian staff operating the John E. Goode Pretrial Detention Facility plus two more sites, the Montgomery Correctional Center and the Community Transition Center with its Work Furlough and Matrix House substance abuse program. With no published rated capacity, GENESYS would size a clinical staffing plan to the Vera Institute's average daily population estimate of about 3,010 rather than guessing at bed counts.
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. Schedule an assessment and we will walk through a staffing plan sized to all three JSO facilities.
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.
Duval County's government has been consolidated with the City of Jacksonville since 1968, and jail healthcare contracting runs through that same structure. The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Department of Corrections, more than 750 corrections officers and civilian personnel strong, operates the John E. Goode Pretrial Detention Facility downtown along with two other correctional sites in the county.
JSO does not publish a rated bed capacity for its facilities, so a healthcare staffing plan has to be built around population data rather than a posted bed count. Each JSO facility already offers medical and dental services on site, alongside recreation, visitation and commissary, which means a new contract has to match or improve on a baseline inmates already expect.
The John E. Goode Pretrial Detention Facility downtown is where people are booked and held pending trial, which concentrates intake screening and acute care at that one address. The Montgomery Correctional Center and the Jacksonville Re-Entry Center sit elsewhere in the county, and the Community Transition Center houses county-sentenced men and women in the Work Furlough program and a substance abuse treatment program called Matrix House. A healthcare plan built for pretrial intake alone will not cover the continuing medication management and substance treatment coordination that a work-furlough and re-entry population needs.
Without a posted rated capacity for any of its three facilities, JSO and a healthcare partner have to size a clinical staffing plan around actual population rather than a fixed bed count. The Vera Institute's three-year median average daily population of about 3,010 is the clearest public benchmark available for that kind of planning, and it is the figure GENESYS would start from in sizing physician, nursing and pharmacy coverage across all three sites.
The Vera Institute figure is the median average daily population for the last three years with available data; JSO does not publish a rated bed capacity for comparison.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Department of Corrections, operating under Duval County's consolidated city-county government. JSO's Department of Corrections has more than 750 corrections officers and civilian personnel running all three correctional facilities in the county, so a healthcare contract is negotiated through JSO, not a separate county department.
Three: the John E. Goode Pretrial Detention Facility downtown, the Montgomery Correctional Center, and the Jacksonville Re-Entry Center, plus the Community Transition Center for county-sentenced inmates in the Work Furlough and Matrix House substance abuse treatment programs.
No. JSO does not publish a rated bed capacity for its correctional facilities. The Vera Institute's three-year median average daily population of about 3,010 is the clearest public benchmark for sizing a healthcare staffing plan instead.
The Community Transition Center houses county-sentenced male and female inmates in the Work Furlough program and a substance abuse treatment program known as Matrix House, which calls for ongoing medication management rather than short-stay intake care alone.
If Duval County's next healthcare contract needs to cover three JSO facilities with no published bed count to plan against, GENESYS can walk your team through what that program would look like.
