The San Francisco County Jail system houses an average daily population of 2,200 prisoners in six County Jails. The system includes an intake and release facility, County Jail #1, and a ward in San Francisco General Hospital, Ward 7D/7L. Approximately 55,000 people are booked into the jails annually.

Some 400 inmates participate in G.E.D., E.S.L. programs, alcohol and drug abuse counseling, and family unification.

County Jail #1 includes the new intake and booking facility. The building's dramatic architectural design was praised by Pulitzer Prize-winning architecture critic Allan Temko, who called it "a stunning victory for architectural freedom over bureaucratic stupidity."
