Also I am pretty sure the 8 story portion is being used in at least some capacity.
The detention facility not being used is the 4 story portion along Howard.

My understanding is that the number is juvenile detainees would have been below the capacity if the Douglas County Attorney office was following state guidelines that require alternative arrangements to secure detention for many current detainees.
