Iloilo Provincial Jail, Sights & Sounds of Ilo²Fergus Ducharme
The Historic Iloilo Jail was built in 1911 and was 'decommissioned' in 2006 when replaced by two other facilities in Iloilo Province at Pototan and Mandurriao. The present Governor Arthur Defensor Sr. has secured funding from all levels of Government to rehabilitate the structure and use it as a Museum.
Economic Development Lands Planning Pilot Projecticablearning
The document summarizes an economic development lands planning pilot project. It provides an overview of Urban Systems, discusses four First Nations communities selected for the pilot project, and outlines the economic development lands planning process used. This included identifying each community's highest priority economic development opportunities and creating conceptual development plans for these priority projects.
This document provides an introduction to landscape architecture and its various phases. It defines landscape architecture as the art of designing, planning, or managing outdoor spaces. A landscape architect plans and designs both natural and manmade outdoor spaces while considering client needs, environmental impacts, and aesthetics. Their work involves analyzing site conditions, developing conceptual plans, and seeing projects through construction. The phases of landscape architecture projects are described as schematic design, design development, construction, and post-construction maintenance.
Project 2 - Landscape Project : Site AnalysisKai Yun Pang
This document provides instructions for Project Two, which involves a group site analysis and individual site synthesis of a residential property. Students will form groups to analyze an assigned site, documenting existing conditions and evaluating them. This includes producing a base plan, conducting a site visit and survey, and creating inventory and analysis diagrams. Individuals will then generate a site synthesis diagram with design solutions. Submissions are due on October 13th and will consist of a bound booklet with the group's inventory/analysis and individual's synthesis.
This chapter discusses special populations within corrections including elderly prisoners, prisoners with HIV/AIDS, mentally ill prisoners, and long-term prisoners. It also covers juvenile corrections, including the history of the juvenile justice system in the US, why juveniles are treated differently than adults, challenges with serious juvenile offenders and gangs, and the future of the juvenile justice system. The chapter outlines topics like the aging correctional population, managing HIV-infected inmates, challenges with the incarcerated mentally ill, the extent of youth crime, and factors considered in sanctioning juvenile offenders.
The document discusses the history and evolution of prisons and jails in the United States. It outlines William Penn's vision for prisons as workhouses in 1682 Pennsylvania and contrasts the early Pennsylvania and New York penitentiary systems. It then summarizes factors that have led to rapid prison population growth, describes the four main types of prisons, and discusses the role of private prisons and the distinction between jails and prisons in the US correctional system.
This document discusses jails and their role in the corrections system. It covers the origins and evolution of jails, from medieval England to modern America. Jails primarily house those sentenced to one year or less and those awaiting trial. The document examines jail administration, populations, the problems of pretrial detention including bail issues, and challenges in jail management like overcrowding. It also explores the transition to new jail facility designs and trends toward regional jails and strengthened alternatives to incarceration.

The document discusses how hate groups form and spread hateful ideologies in prison systems. It outlines that prisons are no longer isolated from communities, as 95% of prisoners will return to society. Within prisons, gangs originally formed around identities like race and nationality have transformed into hate groups that seek to intimidate and attack others. These groups spread hateful beliefs as an "infectious disease" among inmates. The growth of hate groups in prisons threatens both the prison system and communities, as these groups develop criminal networks and political influence upon returning to society.
Report Objectives
1. To estimate the future size and cost of state and federal prison systems
2. To examine the reasons for projected growth
3. To highlight state efforts to control corrections spending
4. To outline the challenges ahead for state policy makers

Current imprisonment rates, future forecasts and security issuesPaul Colbert
This document discusses the implications of current and projected imprisonment rates, as well as security issues, for Australian prison systems. It notes that imprisonment rates in Australia have been steadily increasing and are projected to continue rising. This expansion is unsustainable and alternatives should be explored. The document also examines how the "war on terror" and high-profile terrorism trials have politicized criminal justice processes and affected prison conditions and regimes. Terrorist inmates are often held in highly restrictive "supermax" prisons, which raises human rights concerns around isolation, mental health, and fair trial rights. Overall, the document argues for reversing imprisonment trends through evidence-based crime prevention and for reviewing restrictive prison conditions for terrorism inmates.

Alabama Department of Corrections - Perspective and Solutions 2012Paul Colbert
The document summarizes the key points from the Association of County Commissioners 83rd Annual Convention presentation by the Alabama Department of Corrections. It discusses ADOC's budget challenges including rising healthcare costs and overcrowded facilities. It outlines solutions ADOC has implemented like agreements with counties to house inmates, use of K9 units, and expanding community corrections programs. It also references the Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Plata requiring California to reduce its prison population due to overcrowding, and warnings that Alabama may face a similar federal takeover if sentencing reforms are not passed to alleviate overcrowding issues.
2012 National Association of Sentencing CommissionsPaul Colbert
October 2006, CDCR reached an all time high for inmate population and September 2007 and all time high for parolees.
173,500 inmates
160,000 were in institutions
128,000 parolees
15,000+ were in prisons
Design Capacity was 80,000 beds
Overcrowding rate = 200%

What Counties Need to Know to Implement Criminal Justice RealignmentPaul Colbert
Criminal Justice Realignment:
1. Shifts custody of felons sentenced for non-violent, non-serious, non-sex offenses to county control unless excluded by statute
2. Establishes Postrelease Community Supervision (PRCS)
3. Changes state parole revocation process
4. Tasks Community Corrections Partnerships (CCPs) with planning for the change and implementing local plans
5. Funded by diverted state sales tax, specified vehicle license fee proceeds, and some state General Fund dollars
http://www.inmatecountyjail.com
Sonoma county - Public Safety RealignmentPaul Colbert
Why Realignment?
- Coleman/Plata –prison overcrowding lawsuit
- State budget
- Recidivism rate from CDCR
- Research
Realignment does not result in early release of any currently sentenced felons. Realignment does not transfer custody of any prisoner from State Prison directly to County Jail. Rather, it changes jurisdiction of specified populations from state to local control, by changing sentencing and supervision requirements

Jails Differ in Many Ways
From Prisons
In General:
58 jails, more compact and smaller
When entering jail, offenders may be under
influence of alcohol or drugs
Less time in jail: average of 15 days vs. 20
months in prison
Prisons are run by one state agency:
Department of Corrections
Many different county/city agencies run jails

care for serious medical needs, such as
mental health care.
State law: jails to provide necessary medical
care.

Detailed life-cycle cost analysis on three
existing buildings and on a new building
as a comparison
Life-cycle analysis takes all costs, such
as capital and operating, for life of
building into consideration
Compares buildings of different sizes
and useful life in a rigorous way

Many Other Options Exist
Focus on alternatives to jail: “continuum”
Specialized jail only after other alternatives
explored
MH Court, crisis triage, expanded services
Develop as specialized wing in planning for
new or expanded jail
Make use of jail infrastructure

31. Lessons on Size, Features,
Costs
SIZE
Estimate of about
5% of jail
population BUT
each jurisdiction
will make their own
decision—demand
based on price,
proximity, and
program
Recommendation 1:
As it evaluates the
establishment of a
regional jail, the
Legislature should
consider specific
local requirements
as it estimates
demand.

32. Lessons on Size, Features,
Costs
FEATURES
Secure facility,
withstand rigors of this
population,
programming area, mix
of cell types, suicide
prevention in mind
COST
New construction likely
least expensive: staffing
efficiency and specific
needs accommodated
Recommendation 2:
As it considers the
specifics of
converting an existing
facility to a
specialized regional
jail, the Legislature
should consider basic
custody staffing
efficiencies as a key
cost factor.

33. Lessons on Size, Features,
Costs
SIZE, FEATURES,
AND COSTS
Currently no
specialized regional
jail, so, many
unknowns
Question: Best way
to establish a new
option?
Recommendation 3:
The Legislature should
consider incorporating a
specialized regional
wing into the planning
for a new county jail.
Consideration can be
given to efficient design,
funding mechanisms,
and management
structures.
