The Department of Corrections has added an annex at Mayo Correctional Institute with a wastewater treatment plant upgrade. Plus, the department took down six small open bay dorms due to safety issues, including deterioration in the main unit, according to DOC spokeswoman Joe Ellen Radcliff. The dorms have been replaced with four newer prototype open bay dorms that require fewer staff members for oversight. The annex holds 1,335 and more than 60 beds were added in the main unit.

For 2009-10, the department received 169 new positions specifically for the Mayo annex. This unit will also receive non-specific dormitory positions (security and classification) as they open, said Radcliff.
