Others may be supervised by probation agencies or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement.

RCF operates on the principles of direct supervision and unit management. Each unit management group includes a lieutenant, who serves as unit manager, and a sergeant, as well as treatment and clerical staff. Designed by the Vitetta Group, the three-story facility is comprised of a 143,000-square-foot housing building and a support building sized about 75,000 square feet. Each floor includes a recreation area, dispensary, multipurpose area, and food-delivery area. The podular design with precast cells is similar to that of CFCF. Inmates are housed two per cell, 64 or 128 per pod. The facility includes administrative and staff offices, classrooms for educational, computer, and vocational training, an intake and discharge area, and a gymnasium, in addition to areas for medical and behavioral health treatment, social service, group meeting, recreational, food-service, and maintenance areas, and law and leisure libraries.
