The James A. Musick Facility in Orange County, California, was named the first-ever Readers’ Choice Facility of the Year by Correctional News. The 324,000-square-foot, $290 million campus replaces temporary structures with a permanent, 896-bed complex designed to support rehabilitation, healthcare access and long-term operational planning.
The facility keeps more services and supervision within individual housing units, reducing movement throughout the building. That approach depends on clear sightlines and secure materials that maintain visibility while preserving containment.
Isoclima supplied high-security glazing to CML Security as part of the project’s detention package. In correctional environments, glazing must maintain staff visibility while integrating with secure framing and detention hardware built for continuous use.
We develop protective glazing systems for correctional and other high-risk environments. Our portfolio includes laminated glass, glass-clad polycarbonate and multi-layer security assemblies engineered to provide containment, impact resistance and optical clarity where safety and supervision are priorities.
At Musick, secure glazing supports:
- Controlled entry and perimeter integrity
- Clear sightlines within housing units
- Durable performance under continuous operational demands
- Integration within secure building systems
The campus is expected to serve the county for decades, supported by a master plan that allows for future expansion. Long-term material performance and system coordination remain central to that objective.
Recognition as Facility of the Year reflects collaboration across design, construction and detention equipment partners. Isoclima was proud to provide high-security glazing for the James A. Musick Facility in partnership with CML Security.
