Re-imagining Jail Design: How Can Innovation Reduce Jail Populations and Benefit Communities? April 22, 2009
Posted by FairSentencing in : Current News , trackbackRising jail populations, the continuing construction of new jail facilities, and the costs associated with both raise many urgent questions for policymakers:
* What should go into the planning, designing, and building of jail facilities?
* What should county and city officials, local sheriffs, and jail administrators seek to put into—and get out of—these new facilities?
* What is the relationship between jail design/construction and community alternatives to incarceration?
* How does the administration of quality programs and services, such as mental health care, substance abuse treatment, and educational, vocational, and reentry programs, affect the design of the jail?
Please join us for an informative panel discussion of these and other questions. Light refreshments will be served.
