🔒 James A. Musick Facility

James A. Musick Facility is a minimum-security county jail in south Orange County, California. The county jail is on an unincorporated pocket of land, surrounded by the city of Irvine on three sides and bordered by Lake Forest's Bake Parkway to the southeast. Despite being on unincorporated land, the jail is listed as being in Irvine. The 1,250-bed facility houses inmates charged with lower-level offenses such as intoxicated driving and drug possession. The jail is named in honor of James A. Musick, the Sheriff of Orange County from 1946 to 1974. A small portion of the center's resources are dedicated to illegal immigration detainees, however, that usage was discontinued in July 2019.
