HISTORY OF THE ROBERT PRESLEY DETENTION CENTERRobert Presley Detention Center (R.P.D.C.) is located in the downtown area of Riverside, California. The Riverside County Jail was renamed R.P.D.C. in 1989. The "Old Jail" was originally constructed in 1933 and was built as part of the old historical courthouse annex.

In 1979, the county expanded the female section of the jail.
