OAKLAND (KRON) — Alameda County’s Glenn E. Dyer Jail is preparing for closure, the sheriff said Friday evening.

Sheriff Greg Ahem announced the closure on Facebook, saying the decision was difficult, but one made after an “extensive budgetary review.”

It’s unclear when the jail will close, but the sheriff said he aims to have all inmates transferred to the Santa Rita Jail in Dublin by June.

The Oakland jail is nextdoor to the Alameda County Superior Court and the Oakland Police Department.

It’s located at 550 6th Street, Oakland.
