The West Tower has four unique functions:
* The Infirmary serves male inmates who need special medical treatment. This could include lower bunk medical restricted inmates, HIV positive inmates and/or any other medical condition deemed necessary for needing special medical attention.
* The Closed and Open Behavioral Observation section of the jail serves male inmates who are declared mentally incompetent by the courts or who have been determined as such by a physiologist or a member of the medical staff.

These inmates are also evaluated by medical staff multiple times a day to determine if the inmate is still at risk for committing suicide.
* The Class "C" Trusty tanks serve inmates who have been granted Trusty status by the Sheriff's Department. Trusty status is granted based on classification.
