The Shelby County Adult Jail and Sheriff's Operation Center (SOC) is designed to house 570 inmates—with an internal expansion area within the SOC. The design intent for this facility includes maximizing building efficiencies—incorporating constructability solutions while minimizing structural elements.

The SOC houses the Sheriff's Administrative Offices, Records, Dispatch, Investigations and Patrol.

The Adult Jail component has two housing units, each holding 240 inmates. The unit is octagonal in plan, with one of the eight segments containing program support functions.

Program support functions include a booking/intake area, laundry and food services, central plant and maintenance areas, a large multipurpose program room for educational and religious uses, a video installation for video education programming, an exam room, a counseling room, a janitor's closet and a partially-covered outdoor exercise area. The housing area is planned for future expansion.
