ERNEST, a group of artists cur- rently based in the San Francisco bay area. This project is to bring discussion of the disposition of the Wapato Jail facility to the fore- front as the Bonds that funded it will be paid off in a bit over a year, in 2016. If you’re not familiar with Mult- nomah County’s Wapato Jail story, it is a jail that was constructed to be a short term holding facility, located near the Smith & Bybee lakes and was completed in 2004, 10+ years ago. Original funding was provided for its construction, but none for staffi ng, so it has nev- er housed a single prisoner in its 525-bed capacity. It has been me- ticulously maintained, and looks like it was just completed, both inside and out. Because it was funded with County Bonds, many restrictions concerning its use will expire when they are paid off. The c3: - ERNEST collaborative project’s results will be a video, a publication, and a symposium in the fall of 2015 when the video will be screened. On December 13, 2014, scenes using volunteers were fi lmed, with other fi lming over several days. While there, the volunteers were given a short tour of key parts of the facility. The Wapato Jail is no strang- er to fi lm crews, as segments of “Leverage” and “Grimm,” as well as many other advertisements and public service spots were shot there. When the Bonds are satis- fi ed, much more extensive use as a fi lming location would be permit- ted or even conversion to perma- nent sound stages.
