ABOUT THE EVENT

Many County residents are unaware that the future of the 1903 Historic County Jail is still uncertain. In 2019, it is possible the County Board of Supervisors will vote to demolish the 1903 granite beauty so that parking spaces or alternate County use may be put in its place. Temporarily, the 1903 Historic Jail will remain intact as the APFCCC was able to reach an agreement in April of this year to delay any a further action on demolishing the jail for two years.

To learn more about the event or assist in their efforts by volunteering time and expertise, contact the APFCCC by phone at (925) 352-3334, by email savethecountyjail@gmail.com or visit their Facebook page Save Martinez'sHistoric Old Jail
