| Effective engineering design for both jails and prisons pose different
challenges. Jails, often referred to as detention facilities, are
basically the portal into the criminal justice system. Everyone from petty
thieves to hardened recidivists are held here before arraignment. For this
reason, detention facilities must be designed to accommodate all levels of
security. Prisons - or correctional facilities - on the other hand, can be
classified as minimum, medium, or maximum or a combination of each.
Individuals sentenced to at least one year are incarcerated in correctional
facilities, and many for the remainder of their lives.
Sound engineering practices dictate that construction budgets, life cycle
cost analyses, and considerations of end users (prison staff and inmates) be
taken into account at the beginning stages of each project. Input from
correctional facility staff members is crucial to the project's success.
