The Resource Fairs are an opportunity for Contra Costa County service providers to speak to currently incarcerated individuals about your programs in preparation for their release and return to the community. West County Detention has both men and women in custody, whereas Marsh Creek only holds male inmates. You are welcome to attend one or both events, whatever works with your organization’s availability and programming.

Please mark your calendars and follow the information below to submit your gate clearance. If you submitted data and received clearance to the West County Detention Facility back in April, you do not need to resubmit your information. However, please email me to let me know that you plan to attend.
