Located on the east side of the San Francisco Bay, Oakland, California is a diverse and dynamic city. But all too often it has been near the top of national rankings for violent crime. Those arrested and charged with serious offenses could very well be taken 30 miles outside the city to Santa Rita Jail of Alameda County, a location that combines natural beauty with the concrete walls and razor wire of a sprawling, modern mega jail. It sits on 113 acres and spans a half mile in width.
