This study was created to address the need for new updated Correctional Facilities. The study for the central site the first phase of 400 beds. The plan could be expanded to house a maximum of 800 inmates with full support functions.
Thi s 400 man unit consisted of two – two level buildings with three separate pods of 67 private beds each. One of the pods in each building housed inmates in open barracks. Support elements are centrally grouped for control and functional purposes. The plan included a gymnasium, classrooms, counseling, chapel / visiting, administration, and laundry. The facility is self contained with a individual power plant.
WD&D had correctional experience with the State and Tom Adams and I reviewed several installations in Arkansas. We also were asked to review a new facility in Mississippi that had been built recently at a low cost per bed. This facility was the historical Parchman Farm. The building was a pre engineered structure and did have some cost saving ideas. The experience to tour these facilities would be enlightening for anyone who entertained a life of crime.
