McCall & Associates, Inc. provided design and construction administration services for the new Brantley County Jail which replaced the existing outdated 19-bed facility.  The new jail also incorporates Sheriff’s offices and administrative spaces, a full cell pod, and an on-site courtroom & judges chambers.
