Elected as Sheriff of San Mateo County, California in 2006, Gregory "Greg" Munks was initially brought in as undersheriff, to bring a fresh perspective to the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office. Greg Munks initiated the process towards the construction of the $165 million Maple Street Correctional Center in Redwood City. Unveiled in early 2016, the facility serves as a model for compassionate correction. It is designed to lift the spirits of everyone inside and those visiting the facility so that the atmosphere is more conducive to a productive reform. The 832-bed center has a total floor area of 257,000-square feet and is three stories high. Located on a 4.3-acre property, it boasts of ample natural lighting, radiant floor heating, a computer lab, and a Zen Garden. The facility's large area provides opportunities for inmates to learn skills that they can use when they return to the community, which helps reduce recidivism. It replaces the crowded women's jail and houses low-risk male prisoners of the county.
