About the American Correctional Association

The National Institute of Justice is a research branch
of the U.S. Department of Justice. The Institute's
mission is to develop knowledge about crime, its causes
and control. Priority is given to policy-relevant research that can yield approaches and information that
State and local agencies can use in preventing and
reducing crime. The decisions made by criminal justice
practitioners and policymakers affect millions of citizens, and crime affects aJmost all our public institutions
and the private sector as well. Targeting resources,
assuring their effective allocation, and developing new
means of cooperation between the public and private
sector are some of the emerging issues in law enforcement and criminal justice that research can help
illuminate.

The American CorrectionaJ Association (ACA) is a
multidisciplinary organization consisting of individuals, agencies, and organizations involved in the entire
spectrum of correctional activities. A membership
organization, the ACA is comnritted to the needs of
its members. It serves as a forum and clearinghouse
on correctional issues, is a leading publisher of correctional publications, promotes the professional development of persons working in all aspects of corrections,
and is the accrediting body for correctional facilities,
agencies, and programs.

Carrying out the mandate assigned by Congress in the
Justice Assistance Act of I 984, the National Institute
of Justice:
• Sponsors research and development to improve and
strengthen the criminal justice system and related civil
justice aspects, with a balanced program of basic and
applied research.
• Evaluates the effectiveness of justice improvement
programs and identifies programs that promise to be
successful if continued or repeated.
• Tests and demonstrates new and improved approaches to strengthen the justice system, and recommends actions that can be taken by Federal, State, and
local governments and private organizations and individuals to achieve this goal.
• Disseminates information from research, demonstrations, evaluations, and special programs to Federal,
State, and local governments, and serves as an internationaJ clearinghouse of justice information.

• Trains criminal justice practitioners in research and
evaluation findings. and assists practitioners and researchers through fellowships and special seminars.
The Directorof the Institute is appointed by the President of the United States, and upon confirmation by
the Senate, serves at the President's pleasure. The
Director establishes the research and development
objectives of the Institute. The Director has finaJ authority to approve grants, contracts, and cooperative
agreements, and maintains responsibility for fiscal
operations of the Institute. In establishing its research
agenda, the Institute is guided by the priorities of the
Attorney GeneraJ and the needs of the criminal justice
field. The Institute actively solicits the views of police,
courts, and corrections practitioners as well as the
private sector to identify the most critical problems
and to plan research that can help resolve them.
James K. Stewart
Director

The American Correctional Association was founded
in 1870 as the National Prison Association and was
later calledthe American Prison Association. Congresses of Correction have been held every year since 1870.
At the 1954 Annual Congress of Correction, the name
was changed to the American Correctional Association
to reflect the expanding philosophy of corrections and
its increasingly important role in society.
As the national voice of corrections, the American
Correctional Association is committed to exerting a
positive influence on the shaping of national and international correctional policy. Perhaps ACA's most pervasive influence has been in its nationally recognized
and accepted standards and accreditation program for
adult and juvenile facilities.
The ACA is a leading publisher of correctionaJ materials, including correspondence courses, books, a
magazine, and newsletters. ACA also trains correctional personnel at all levels through onsite workshops
and correspondence courses. ACA sponsors two meetings annually: the Congress of Correction in August,
and the Winter Conference in January. Both include
lectures, seminars, workshops, and exhibits addressing
a wide variety of correctional issues.

Foreword
National Institute of Justice

Corrections policymakers and administrators face difficult choices today. Should they spend scarce resources on expensive prison and jail construction to
accommodate growing jail and prison populations or
must they release convicted offenders into the community as a way of easing crowded conditions?
Space shortages distort and subvert our justice system.
In 1985, for example, more than 18,000prisoners were
released before completing their sentences because of
space limitations. At the same time, prison construction
and operating costs have risen enormously, making
corrections the fastest growing component of State
budgets. Investment in building has tripled over the
past 3 years-to $3 billion in 1986. States are expected
to spend an estimated $20 billion on prison construction
in the next 10 years.
Now there has been an important advance that can
help State and local jurisdictions get the best return on
their investment and build the corrections facilities
they need to protect their communities. The National
Institute of Justice created the Construction Information Exchange to share practical information on new
technology and modem construction techniques that
can mean quicker and more economical expansion of
corrections capacity.
A key element of the program is this National Directory
of Corrections Construction. Based on results of a
national survey by the National Institute of Justice, the
directory is a catalog of up-to-date designs, construction methods, and costs for 262 jails and prisons built
since 1978. State and local officials can tum to this
compendium for a wide range of options to help them
make the most informed decisions on corrections construction in the next decade and beyond.

The National Institute of Justice also publishes Construction Bulletins highlighting State and local projects
that have implemented swifter and less costly building
techniques. The bulletins offer step-by-step descriptions of how jurisdictions solved their construction
problems through progressive management and innovative methods.
Attorney General Edwin Meese III, in announcing the
new Construction Information Exchange, said the effort will provide much-needed help to States and
localities in addressing the problem of prison and jail
crowding through more efficient construction.
Solutions to the challenges facing our prisons and jails
as we move toward the 21st century require the energy
and initiative of all those concerned about corrections.
The National Institute of Justice is indebted to the
American Correctional Association, whose support
makes possible the publication of this directory. This
cooperative venture between the National Institute of
Justice and the American Correctional Association
exemplifies the benefits of public-private partnerships
in achieving a common objective: helping State and
local officials build or expand corrections facilities
better, faster, and more economically.

Director
National Institute of Justice

The information in the directory is maintained and
regularly updated in the Construction Information Exchange data base. This computerized data base includes
even greater detail on construction projects nationwide.
With just a phone call, State and local officials can
get the most current information on new design, materials, and construction techniques, tailored to the specific building issues and concerns of a particular
jurisdiction.

Foreword
American Correctional Association

The impact of design on the efficiency of a correctional
program is tremendous. History is replete with the
evolution of jail and prison design solutions that correspond to the penal philosophy of the era.
This change of correctional design has evolved from
the Bridewell Houses of 1557 in England through the
periods of Workhouses, Banishment, Convict Ships,
Wymondham Penitentiaries, and the Pennsylvania and
Auburn systems, which were popularized in the
1880's.
The 19th century was generally a period of reformation
that required prison designers to place increasing emphasis on the use of prisoner labor with minimal concern for the health and safety of either prisoner or
prison employee, a condition that inspired the founders
of the American Correctional Association Congress in
1870 to declare a basic principle of the association
to be the development of more adequate prison
architecture.

The American Correctional Association is proud to be
associated with the National Institute of Justice in the
publication of this directory. It clearly represents the
current status of correctional design and is in keeping
with the contemporary thinking as expressed by Chief
Justice Warren Burger in 1981: "To put people behind
bars and do little or nothing to change them is to win
a battle and lose a war."
Correctional design plays an important role in our
society, and careful review of the information contained herein can have great impact on the future of
imprisonment as we approach the 21st century.
Anthony P. Travisono
Executive Director
American Correctional Association

These ideals were followed by correctional officials
with varying degrees of success until the decades of
1960 and 1970 when the courts imposed a series of
orders requiring increased attention to prison and jail
conditions.

Introduction
The National Directory of Corrections
Construction contains:
•
•
•
•
•

262 correctional facilities
239 architectural and construction manager firms
145 jail projects
99 prison projects
Facilities from 44 States

The projects include:
•
•
•
•

96,178 inmates
34,256 employees in correctional facilities
$3,297,051,430 in total construction costs
$980,613,870 in annual operating budgets

The National Directory of Corrections Construction
has been developed by the National Institute of Justice
to assist State, local, and Federal officials who are
planning to build correctional facilities. The directory
is a key element of a new Federal program that promotes exchange of information about building jails and
prisons more cost effectively and in a timely fashion.
The first of its kind, the directory is a reference guide
to correctional institutions built after 1978. It is based
on a survey conducted by the National Institute of
Justice and represents a comprehensive sample of projects built since that year. Never before has so much
information been assembled to assist corrections agencies with construction of jails and prisons.
Officials embarking upon construction of correctional
facilities now have a comprehensive guidebook to help
them along the way, a volume that contains the lessons
learned by officials who have already faced this challenge. Readers will find success stories ready to be
replicated and colleagues eager to share their experiences. By referring to the directory, readers can learn
about facilities where new technologies and efficient
construction methods have been employed to save time
and money. In this way, jurisdictions can avoid "reinventing the wheel," a problem that has too often characterized the process of building jails and prisons.
Through the directory, officials who are planning construction can review data gathered about comparable
projects and contact experts who have important information concerning already completed facilities.
As the title "directory" implies, this volume includes
projects accepted without evaluation. The directory
includes both positive and negative experiencesexamples of what to do and what not to do.

N/J/National Directory of Corrections Construction

The National Directory of Corrections Construction
is a catalog of designs and resources. Readers can
easily locate facilities that may be comparable to their
own needs. With the construction cost index, readers
may then adjust the costs to match those prevailing in
their own jurisdiction at the current time. Following
these simple steps, it is possible to estimate the approximate time and cost requirements for construction of
the same or similar facility at the reader's location.
When used in this way, the directory can be a valuable
tool for planners, budget analysts, and corrections
administrators. For every design, the responsible architect has been identified, and information is provided
on how to contact officials at the site.
Although it is a highly complex undertaking, the successful transfer of design concepts has been demonstrated by several jurisdictions. In the State of South
Carolina, officials decided to utilize the design of the
Federal Correctional Institution at Phoenix, Arizona,
as a model for up to five prisons in their State. The
Phoenix institution was shown on the cover of the first
edition of the directory, as it represents the purpose
of NIJ efforts-to transfer proven methods from one
agency to another.
The most recent stage of development is represented
by the coverofthis edition. The new Federal Correctional Institution at Marianna, Florida, illustrates current design concepts adopted by the Federal Bureau
of Prisons. While incorporating the innovations illustrated by the Phoenix design, the new project offers
an alternative approach and exhibits complementary
design concepts. Like its counterpart in Phoenix, the
new institution at Marianna may serve as a model for
other agencies to consider.

Construction Information Exchange
The National Directory of Corrections Construction
is an element of the Construction Information Exchange, a program recently initiated by the National
Institute of Justice. Through the Construction Information Exchange, agencies planning to build, remodel,
or expand correctional facilities may contact other
jurisdictions that have solved comparable problems
and can exchange detailed information about the
facilities and current plans. In this way, project management and building technologies can be transferred
from agency to agency.

Construction data base
The heart of the National Institute of Justice program
is the construction data base, a computerized library
that permits State, local, and Federal officials to share

3

lessons learned from recent jail and prison construction
projects. Information for the directory has been drawn
from the comprehensive files already contained in the
construction data base. Updates of the directory will
be drawn from the expanding data base to ensure availability of the most current information on recently
completed jails and prisons.
The data base serves criminal justice practitioners in
several ways by offering services that are tailored to
their individual interests and needs. A sheriff, for
example, who is planning to build a combined jail and
court facility may contact the Construction Information
Exchange to obtain a special search of the data base
describing facilities of this type. The sheriff will receive a computer printout providing a wealth of detail
on projects like the planned facility, and persons to
contact for further information. In addition, many of
the architects responsible for designing facilities included in the data base have agreed to provide a package of descriptive materials on their projects.

facilities. The Construction Bulletins explain in more
detail selected projects for which officials have reported substantial time and cost savings in constructing
correctional facilities. They report on innovative features of new jails and prisons, such as new techniques
of corrections planning and progressive methods of
construction. Each bulletin gives concise details on
individual projects that demonstrate particularly helpful approaches. Bulletins can be obtained by contacting
the Construction Information Exchange.
Those jurisdictions whose projects have been published
in the Construction Bulletins have agreed to provide
more detailed information on the design and building
of their facilities and to host site visits of their facilities
by officials currently involved in new construction
projects.
For more information on the Construction Information Exchange, see the
inside back cover of this directory.

Construction Bulletins
Another element in the program is a publication series,
the NU Construction Bulletins. These special reports
provide indepth case studies of selected projects, giving
State and local officials a closer look at noteworthy

Policy research
Research at the National Institute of Justice is aimed
at reducing crime and improving the criminal justice
system. The National Directory of Corrections Construction is an important part of this research, because
it documents the Nation's response to a critical area
of need-expansion of jail and prison capacity. Although much has been written about crowding in correctional facilities and the need to improve our Nation's
jails and prisons, this volume represents the first compendium of information on what has actually been
built.
Extensive efforts have been made to gather detailed
quantitative information, and virtually every aspect of
correctional facility construction has been systematically compiled and reported. Construction cost indexes
have been developed to adjust cost data for selected
dates and geographic areas, thereby permitting comparisons among different facilities. Every step has been
taken to ensure the accuracy and comparability of the
data. These measures make it possible for the directory
to serve as a reference for researchers as well as officials who are planning new facilities.

The decision to build
It is perhaps the most difficult decision for State and
local corrections agencies-to build or not to build?
A commitment to construction is rarely the first response to crowded conditions. It may follow years of
struggle and agonizing debate. Only after each alternative has been exhausted and funds have been raised
will officials finally commence the difficult process of
design and construction.

Once the decision to build has been made, officials
must then consider many critical questions that will
determine whattheir new jail or prison is to become.
The National Institute ofJustice has created this directory to help answer those questions, by referring officials to the lessons learned from completed correctional
facilities across the Nation.
The National Directory of Corrections Construction
provides the information that officials need to know
before they begin construction, not after-when it is
too late. Using the directory, State and local officials
may find answers to the following questions:
• What is the likely cost of construction for a correctional facility of the type we have planned?
• How many staff will be required and what will it
cost to operate the new facility?
• Should we build a new institution or an addition to
our existing facility?
• How do institutions with dormitories compare to
those with single occupancy cells?

NIJ/National Directory of Corrections Construction

• Have other jurisdictions had favorable experience
with prefabrication and modular construction?
• Could we have both courts and jails in the same
building?
• Who should I call to obtain information concerning
"fast track" and construction management?
• How long should it take to build the type of prison
our State has in mind?
• Which agencies have had experience with electronic
security perimeters?
• Who should I call to ask about construction costs
for "new generation" jails?
• Should we expect higher costs or special problems
with a high-rise facility?
• Which jurisdictions have used lease-purchase to pay
for jail and prison construction?

Highlights
Each profile page describes how an individual jurisdiction has addressed these issues. Although research is
just beginning, preliminary findings may give readers
a glimpse of the priorities established by those who
have completed new jail or prison facilities.
Costs of construction- While great strides have been
made to reduce the costs of corrections construction,
many projects were very costly to build. The directory
illustrates dramatic contrasts, as costs range from a
low of $2,048 to a high of$ 149,425 perinmate.' For
minimum security facilities, the average cost per prisoner was $22,263; medium security projects were
$36,430 per bed; and maximum security construction
was $39,695 per inmate.'

Types of construction represent important determinants
of cost. For example, new institutions are almost always more costly than additions to existing facilities.
The average cost for an addition to an existing facility
was $32,102 per inmate, while the average cost for a
new, independent facility was $37,367 per inmate. To
ensure valid comparisons, the directory is indexed by
category of construction, and the actual cost per square
foot is also shown for each project.
Design options. The directory displays a wide variety
of alternative designs. For example, "new generation"
concepts are evident throughout this volume. Direct
1. This range excludes construction costs for prison hospitals, which are
as high as $270,762 per inmate. However, the following averages do
include costs for all facilities in the directory.
2. Because most facilities have a combination of two or three security
levels, only facilities with greater than 50 percent of a particular level
(maximum, medium, or minimum) were used for these calculations.

5

supervision management was reported in 23 percent
of the institutions. At the same time, traditional approaches may be found in the majority of facilities,
with linear designs representing 33 percent of the
projects.
Both innovation and compromise have been employed
to bring about greater economy. Many jurisdictions
have opted for multiple occupancy cells and dormitories over the more costly design of single person
cells. New inmate management concepts have produced designs with more economical features. Sixtynine projects utilized less costly building materials and
security hardware and 93 facilities selected commercial
grade fixtures as an alternative to institutional steel.

Conventional building methods remain dominant, as
the majority of jails and prisons, 178 out of262, were
built primarily with concrete block.
Construction process. Officials at all levels of government are searching for new ways to conduct the process
of construction, and this volume documents the innovative techniques now being tested in these highly
specialized public works projects. Although well established in the private sector, several of the procedures
are new to corrections.
Construction management services were employed in
I 9 percent of the projects, and in 38 percent of the
projects that cost more than $ IO million. Likewise,
"fast track" construction was reported for 38 of the
facilities and noted as an explanation of reduction in
construction time.

Building methods. Progressive building techniques
are illustrated throughout this volume. In order to
accelerate construction schedules, architects and contractors have utilized a number of alternatives to conventional building methods. When asked how time
was saved in the construction process, 65 respondents
cited prefabrication methods as an explanation for their
positive results.

Future needs. The directory offers disturbing evidence
that crowding will not soon disappear, as many of the
new jails and prisons report that they have already
exceeded capacity. Thirty percent of the completed
facilities shown in the directory have reported a current
population in excess of their designed capacity.

Use of inmate labor is viewed as a method for reducing
construction costs. While the nature and extent of
inmate participation varied widely, 33 projects utilized
inmate labor.

Although billions of dollars have been invested in
expansion of jail and prison capacity, it is apparent
that construction is not keeping pace with the rapid
growth of the inmate population.

NIJ!National Directory of Corrections Construction

NIJ survey
The information contained in this volume is the result
of a national survey of architects who have specialized
in constructing correctional facilities. A comprehensive survey instrument was provided to each architectural firm, requiring responses to 32 different questions
concerning more than 150 types of information.

to architects specializing in correctional institutions.
Further information is available from the AIA 's Committee on Architecture for Justice, including a yearly
catalog of criminal justice projects. Readers are encouraged to contact their local chapter of the AIA or the
national office:

Detailed survey forms were also sent to facility administrators, whose time and attention ensured that
data were both current and accurate. A number of key
questions concerning management and operations
could be answered only by facility administrators. This
separate verification process has ensured that this survey is both rigorous and comprehensive.

This second edition of the directory incorporates the
projects shown in the first edition along with the new
projects. This edition also has several new features.
Cost indexes have been added, along with floorplans
and other materials not previously available. The
number of facility profiles is now more than two-and-ahalf times that in the first edition.

The National Institute of Justice intends to make the
Construction Information Exchange as comprehensive
as possible and to expand the number of facilities included in the program. Any architect who has designed
a correctional facility since 1978 is invited to contact
the Construction Information Exchange to enter that
facility into the data base. Likewise, administrators of
facilities constructed since 1978 but not listed in the
directory may request the Construction Information
Exchange to mail a survey form to the architect of
their facility.

Order of facility proftles
Facility profile pages are presented alphabetically by
the State in which they are located, and within each
State they appear alphabetically by facility name.

Reference indexes
Indexes serve as locators for particular facilities and
are provided in Section III. Eacb construction project
in the directory is classified by facility type, location,
and inmate design capacity. An alphabetical listing by
facility name is also provided. Readers considering
construction should first look for facilities of comparable size, type, and category of construction (whether
new or an addition, for instance) to see how these
projects compare to their needs. It also may be helpful
to examine facilities in the same State or region of the
country. This will reveal which designs and construction methods have been used in the reader's geographical area and also may help to determine if visits to
completed facilities would be helpful. A list of architectural firms and construction managers responsible for
facilities in this directory is provided in Appendix B.

Facility profiles
All facility profiles that appeared in the first edition
of the National Directory of Corrections Construction
are included in this second edition, along with the new
additions to the construction data base. Contact persons
and telephone numbers for the first edition profiles
have been updated, but operational data (such as "Total
annual operating costs") are as of the date given for
the population, under "Inmate housing areas."
Profiles are included for jail and prison construction
projects completed since 1978 and contained in the
data base of the Construction Information Exchange.
Information entered into the data base is gathered from
survey forms completed by architects, facility administrators, and local government officials. Although each
facility profile in this directory contains more than 70
items of information, many more information items
are contained in the data base. Those wishing further
details about a specific facility should contact the Construction Information Exchange. However, for a review of operating costs, current populations, and other
operational details, readers should call or write the
facility contact person.
The word "Unknown" indicates items not completed
by survey respondents. In some instances, however,
"NI A" appears because the item is not applicable to
the particular project. For example, the profile will
not show the total cost per inmate for a complex that
includes courts, since the calculation would be invalid.

NIJ/National Directory of Corrections Construction

Floorpians. On the right-hand side of each facility
profile, a floorplan of a typical housing unit has been
provided. The floorplans were provided by the architects and are the best available at time of publication.
They provide the reader with a clearer understanding
of the design of the facility. In a few cases, floorplans
were not available.

Comparisons
Comparisons between construction projects can be
both interesting and useful, but they should be made
cautiously with the following issues in mind.

Category of construction. Comparisons of different
jails or prisons may be inappropriate when the facilities
to be examined do not share common characteristics.
For example, a jail or prison categorized as a "new,
ancillary building" may not have complete support
spaces such as kitchen or administration. If such a
building were compared to a "new, independent facility" with complete support services, the appearance of
a reduced cost might be misleading. For this reason,
it is most appropriate to compare facilities in the same
construction category.
Costs. Cost comparisons can be especially difficult.
To facilitate comparison of construction costs alone,
the total cost excludes costs of land acquisition and
architects' fees. Moreover, several factors can influence the project costs shown, and comparisons should
be made with caution. For example, readers will find
that jails and prisons with multiple occupancy cells are
invariably less expensive (per inmate) than facilities
designed with single occupancy cells. Such contrasts
may be informative, but this does not mean that the
facilities are truly comparable. Another important
example: the building cost of highrise facilities is almost always higher than lowrise buidings even when
capacities are the same.
Dimensions. In comparing dimensions, readers are
strongly encouraged to examine "gross square feet per
inmate." This statistic has been computed by dividing
the "gross square feet/corrections" by the inmate design
capacity. This statistic may show that some buildings
provide much more space per inmate than otherwise
comparable projects. However, it simply may be the
policy of a particular jurisdiction to provide more space
for vocational training, counseling, and other support
activities rather than larger cells. An example of a
common difference is where one institution has dayrooms contiguous to cells and another facility has only
corridors.

II

Housing areas. To facilitate comparisons of different
types of correctional facilities, the profile includes a
special series of housing statistics. For readers interested primarily in those portions of a construction
project that relate to custody and housing of prisoners,
it is important to note terms such as: "Costs: Housing
area"; "Costs: Housing per inmate"; "Dimensions:
Housing area square feet"; and "Dimensions: Size of
cells." These statistics allow comparisons that might
otherwise be impossible.

Ordinarily, a jail cannot be compared to a prison because of the substantial square footage that prisons
may allocate for the support functions associated with
long-term custody. Since jails seldom provide extensive support areas (e.g., educational, vocational, counseling, or inmate industries) even a prison with the
same number of inmates as a jail will almost always
be a substantially larger facility. For this reason, the
housing statistics focus on only those portions of the
jail or prison that relate to the housing of inmates, and
exclude those areas that ordinarily make it inappropriate to draw comparisons. In the case of a campusstyle prison, the term "housing" describes only the
building that actually houses inmates. This permits
readers to examine those portions of a prison that are
comparable to a jail.
Construction cost indexes. Construction cost indexes
are provided to assist you in comparing construction
projects. If you wish to determine the current cost of
construction in your region, use the indexes to adjust
dollar amounts so costs are appropriate for your area.

Cost indexes enable readers to make detailed cost comparisons. They permit comparisons between different
years and geographic areas. Because construction costs

The formula:

vary from one part of the United States to another, the
regional adjustment will permit valid comparisons of
construction projects under the same market conditions. Different regions of the country may exhibit
sharp contrasts in the cost of materials and prevailing
labor rates. For example, a facility built in Florida will
almost always cost less than the same project built in
California. By providing for regional adjustments, cost
comparisons may be made within a common frame of
reference. Cost indexes can be useful when comparing
projects built during different years. Since the cost of
construction has increased over the years, jail or prison
costs in this directory should be adjusted to the same
period to be accurately compared.
The cost indexes are based on a 54-city national average, with a 1978 base of 100. To estimate or compare
costs, use the index factors for the cities closest to the
geographic areas you wish to compare, or closest to
the area in which you wish to construct a new facility.
The cost indexes are in alphabetical order by State for
your convenience. The table does not list any cities in
Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Maine, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Carolina,
South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, or Wyoming.
The three main uses of the cost indexes involve the
estimation and comparison of costs for:
1. Construction in different regions for different years
(Example 1 below).
2. Construction in a particular region for different
years (Example 2 below).
3. Construction in different regions for a particular
year (Example 3 below).

Terms used in this directory

The order of these terms follows the order in which
they appear in the facility profiles.

Facility
The name of the facility as indicated by the architect
and facility administrator. The name also may reflect
whether the project was a phased one, or an addition,
expansion, or remodeling/renovation project. (See
Category of construction for definitions.)

State
The name of the State in which the facility is located.

Location
For a connty jail, the name of the county in which it
is located. For a city, State, or Federal facility, the
name of the town or city in which the facility is located.

Jurisdiction official
The name and title of the senior official (e.g., sheriff
or commissioner) responsible for the corrections or
law enforcement agency at the time of data verification
in late 1987.

Contact

of Architects as the date certified by the architect when
the work is sufficiently complete, in accordance with
the contract documents, so officials can occupy the
facility for the use for which it is intended.

Construction time
The elapsed months from groundbreaking to substantial
completion of the facility.

Design capacity
The total number of general population and special
housing inmates for whom the facility was designed.
(This number may differ from the actual population
shown.)

Total cost
The total cost of building and site improvements, plus
all approved change orders. However, this figure does
not include the cost of acquiring the land/site, the time
of public employees, and administrative expenses for
the project. Since it is intended to show the cost of
construction, it does not include fees for architects and
other consultants.

Total annual operating costs

The name, address, and phone number of the primary
architectural firm(s) responsible for the project design.
This may also reflect architectural consultants.

The latest fiscal year budget for the facility. For
facilities reproduced from the first edition, this budget
is from the year identified by the population date of
inmate housing areas. Costs shown are those that relate
to the construction project. In the case of an addition,
this figure represents the operating costs for that portion
of the facility only. Where "NI A (addition)" appears,
the operating costs for the addition are not available
separately.

Construction manager

Category

The name, address, and phone number of the construction manager for the project. Where the project is a
turn-key design and build, the name of the contractor
or joint venture will be shown here.

The category of construction for the specific project.
Several types of projects are included in this directory
and each has different characteristics.

The name, title, address, and phone number of the
official designated as a contact for further information
(e.g., captain, jail administrator, or warden).

Architect

Groundbreaking
The date when work actually began at the site. As a
general rule for new buildings, the first activities are
groundclearing and excavation.

Finish date
The date of substantial completion of the facility. Substantial completion is defined by the American Institute

NIJ!National Directory of Corrections Construction

New, independent facility: an entirely new facility
with complete support services, not relying upon other
facilities.
New, ancillary building: an entirely new building,
but reliant upon already existing buildings for some
or all support services. This addition does not provide
a complete array of "core" spaces. Data refer to the
new addition only and do not include existing or original building information.

17

Remodeling/renovation project: improvements
within the shell of an existing facility, typically to
modernize an older jail or prison and to bring the design
into compliance with current codes and standards.
Expansion project: extension or new wing added to
an already existing facility. Data refer to the expansion
only and do not include existing or original building
information (except where noted).
Phased project (future): project where costs invested
in construction relate to future expansion/addition in
a master plan.
Phased project (past): project that completes previously "master planned" space(s) "shelled out" earlier.
Temporary facility/housing: relocatable or portable
units not intended for permanent use. Facility may be
disassembled and moved to another location.

Facility type
Jail: facility operated by county, city, ora combination
thereof. Jails operated by these units oflocal government typically house inmates for I year or less, although some States permit consecutive sentences. Jails
may house both pretrial detainees and sentenced prisoners. Inmates may be held on both felony and misdemeanor charges. It should also be noted that several
States permit inmates from State prison systems to be
housed in local jail facilities. The State of Alaska has
no counties; therefore all inmates are housed in State
facilities.
Prison: facility operated by any of 50 States, the District of Columbia, or the Federal Government. Prisoners in State institutions are held for periods of longer
than I year. Unlike local jails, State prisons house
oniy sentenced offenders. Some States will permit
units of local government to board jail prisoners in
State facilities, but this practice is most unusual.
Complex: buildings with multiple purposes. Typically, in a local facility, jail space may be combined
with courts, law enforcement, or other related uses.
Cost comparisons are discouraged for this type of facility, as it is impossible to isolate corrections costs from
the costs for other portions of the building.
Building configuration (See Figure I)
The physical arrangement of individual buildings.

Integrated structure: one building.
Highrise: one building, more than four stories in
height.
Ladder, telephone pole: linear cell blocks arranged
in parallel off a central connecting corridor.
Wheel, spoke or radial: linear cell blocks that emanate
from one central control area like spokes from the hub
of a wheel.

18

Courtyard: linear cell blocks interconnected around
a central enclosed courtyard.
Clusters: a number of individual buildings that are
interconnected.
Campus style: a number of individual buildings that
are not interconnected.

Costs
Total: the total cost of building and site improvements,
plus all approved change orders. However, this figure
does not include the cost of acquiring the land/site,
the time of public employees, and administrative expenses for the project. Since it is intended to show the
cost of construction, it does not include fees for architects and other consultants.
Building only: the cost for the facility only, as the
figure excludes all site work. Costs such as grading,
paving, and providing utilities are not included here.
This figure represents what it would cost to build the
same facility at another site, provided that site costs
for the new location are added and impact of the site
on the design has been considered.
Housing area: the cost for those areas of the correctional facility designed for housing inmates. This includes the total gross square footage of the entire housing building unit or level, as well as the contiguous
and/or associated spaces for mechanical, circulation,
storage, visiting, control, counseling, multipurpose
room, dayrooms, exercise, interview, etc. Excluded
from this figure are costs of independent or unrelated
areas and buildings such as intake, medical, special
housing, administration, food service, vocational, educational, agricultural, etc.
Housing per inmate: the housing costs per general
population inmate. This figure is computed by dividing
the total number of general population inmates (design
capacity) into the housing costs.
Housing per cell: the housing costs per general population cell. This figure is computed by dividing the
total number of general population cells into the housing costs.
Total per inmate: the total construction costs per
inmate. This figure is computed by dividing the total
numberof inmates (design capacity) into total construction costs. In the case of a multiuse/complex type
facility, "NIA (complex)" appears, as it would not be
appropriate to compute an inmate cost when the facility
includes other than correctional uses.
Total per GSF: the total construction costs per gross
square foot. This figure is computed by dividing the
total gross square feet into total construction costs.
Total annual operating costs: the latest fiscal year
budget for the facility. For facilities reproduced from

the first edition, this budget is from the year identified
by the population date under inmate housing areas.
Costs shown are those that relate to the construction
project. In the case of an addition, this figure represents
the operating costs for that portion of the facility only.
Where "NIA (addition)" appears, the operating costs
for the addition are not available separately.

Security
Perim_eter: t~e. types of_perimeter used in a facility,
including bmlding extenor only; single fence; double
fence; triple fence; alarm/detection systems; razor wire
on fence( s); razor wire on and between fences; towers;
and patrols.
Inm~te security level: the division of the facility according to levels of security for housing inmates.
Categories include: maximum (most secure construction ~nd highest level of staff supervision in system);
medzum (although not as restricted as maximum, this
category reqmres a locked unit and a security perimeter); and minimum (greatest freedom of movement for
inmates, may have_ dormitories, living areas may not
be locked, and penmeter security is limited).
Inmate cells
This describes the finishes, fixtures, and furnishings
that were selected for general population cells. These
aspects of special custody, isolation, medical, and
other special population areas of a jail or prison may
be different.

Doors/material: may be steel or wood, and may be
solid (without bars or windows).
Doors/type: may be swinging or sliding.
Doors/locking: may be motor driven and remote locking; remote locking only; or manual locking.
Floor surface: materials of the floor surface. Options
include linoleum; carpet; epoxy coating; sealed concrete; or vinyl tile.
Intercom: the type of communications system between
officers and inmates. Options include either one- or
two-way systems to cells or common areas, or no
system.

HVAC: heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.
Describes the environmental systems included in the
facility. While all facilities have some form of heating,
not every jail or prison has an air conditioning system.
Solar systems, steam, gas, or other specialized energy
recycling systems are indicated here.
Plumbing: inmate plumbing fixtures. Indicates
whether the lavatory and toilet are a combination unit
or separ~te units, and are made of stainless steel, china,
or aluminum.

20

Furniture: chairs, beds, tables, and other furniture in
cells and dayrooms. Choices include steel; wood; vinyl/
plastic; or concrete.
Fire protection: fire protection systems used in inmate
housing areas. Hardware may include smoke detectors
for cells, common areas, or both; sprinklers for cells,
common areas, or both; or manual alarm stations.
Dimensions
Gross square feet/corrections: the gross square feet
(as defined under "Gross square feet/total" below) of
all spaces relating to corrections purposes in the construction project shown in the profile. In the case of
an addition or expansion, this figure represents the
square footage of that addition or expansion only.
Gross square feet/other: in the case of a multiuse or
complex type facility, the gross square feet assigned
for purposes other than corrections, law enforcement,
or courts (e.g., city hall, communications center, or
other government offices).
Gross square feet/total: the total square footage of
the construction project. If the project was an addition
or expansion, this figure represents the square footage
of that addition or expansion only. Gross square feet
is defined by the American Institute of Architects as
(he SUJ:? of the areas of the several floors of the building,
including basements, mezzanine, and intermediate
floored tiers and penthouses of headroom height, measured from the exterior faces of exterior walls or from
the centerline of walls separating buildings. Covered
walkways, open roofed-over areas that are paved,
porches, and similar spaces shall have the architectural
area multiplied by an area factorof0.50. The architectural area does not include such features as pipe
trenches, exterior terraces, or steps, chimneys, roof
overhangs, etc. (See AIA Document D101.)
Housing area square feet: the size of spaces devoted
to the custody of inmates, not the entire facility. Included are those spaces directly related to the housing
of inmates. The figure includes total gross square footage of the housing building, unit, or level including
the contiguous and/or associated spaces for mechanical, circulation, storage, visiting, control, staff areas,
multipurpose rooms, dayrooms, exercise, interview,
etc. Excluded are independent areas not contiguous to
inmate housing, such as intake, medical, special housing, administration, food service, vocational, educational, and other support activities not directly
associated with housing. In construction projects that
are additions or expansions, it is possible that only
housing areas were added. In such instances, the square
footage shown for housing may be almost equal to the
total square footage, since support spaces were not
provided.
Gross square feet per inmate: the gross square feet
assigned to an inmate based on design capacity. This

NIJ!National Directory of Corrections Construction

figure is computed by dividing the number of inmates
in general population (design capacity) into the gross
square feet/corrections. However, if the current population is greater than the design capacity, the gross
square feet per inmate will be fewer.

Size of cells: space inside a typical cell. This figure
is the useful space and does not include areas consumed
by a plumbing chase or protruding walls. The type of
cell (single, double, etc.) is indicated.
Net/gross square feet: this percentage is an expression
of building efficiency. Because spaces not used by
staff and/or inmates are excluded from net space, this
percentage represents how much of the total square
footage is actually devoted to everyday useful purposes. The remaining space is the amount consumed
by spaces necessary for the building but not utilized
by its occupants.
Construction type
Structural: the frame that carries the building's weight
and provides structural support for the facility. This
describes the type of structural system, such as steel
frame, load-bearingprecast panels, cast-in-place concrete frame, or precast concrete frame.
Exterior walls: the construction materials that make
up outside walls of the building, forming the security
"shell" or"envelope." Options include precast panels,
cast-in-place concrete, CMU block, brick, or architectural precast.
Interior walls: the construction materials that make
up inside walls or partitions used to divide cells and
rooms within the building. Options include precast
panels, cast-in-place concrete, CMU block, or brick.
Exterior surface/facade: the exterior finish, resulting
in the completed outside appearance. Sometimes called
the building's "skin," examples include stucco, brick,
paint, natural wall, and textured or colored concrete.
Inmate design capacity
Single occupancy: number of inmates for whom single
cells were designed. In some facilities, bunks have
been permanently attached to the walls in single cells
thereby converting them to double cell use. However,
because they were originally designed for single occupancy, these cells are counted as single occupancy in
this directory. (Extra bunks are shown as "Means to
handle crowding," defined below.)
Double occupancy: number of inmates for whom
double cells were designed.

General population: total number of inmates for
whom cells other than special housing were designed.
Total: total number of general population and special
housing inmates for whom the facility was designed.
(This number may differ from the actual population
given under "Inmate housing areas.")

Current staff
Facility administrators have reported the number of
full-time staff assigned to the facility. In the case of
an addition or expansion, only staff provided for that
addition or expansion are listed, and when those figures
were not available, the profile indicates "NIA (addition)." To ensure comparable responses, the survey
included definitions for each staffing category.

Administration: chief executives including wardens,
superintendents, directors, administrators, colonels,
captains, majors, lieutenants, and their assistants. Also
includes all supervisory personnel above the level of
first line supervisor; administrative and budget staff;
clerical support; secretaries; typists; stenographers;
bookkeepers; clerks; and switchboard operators.
Security: all line staff and first line supervisors, both
sworn and unswom; correctional officers; deputies;
guards; sergeants; and security supervisors.
Programs/treatment: medical, dental, psychiatric,
counseling, and therapy personnel; and technicians.
Maintenance: engineers, electricians, plumbers,
janitors, and repair and grounds personnel. Also includes kitchen/culinary and food preparation workers,
cooks, and dishwashers.
Total: total number of full-time staff members as reported by the facility administrator.

Current inmate/staff ratio: the number of inmates
per staff member based on the current population. This
figure is computed by dividing the total number of
current staff into the current population, not the inmate
design capacity.
Inmate housing areas
Design: the options for layout or arrangement of the
inmate cells. Options include linear-outside cells,
where cells have windows on outside walls, permitting
direct light into cells; linear-inside cells, where cells
are not on outside walls and light to cells is indirect;
and module/pod, where cells are arranged around a
common dayroom with cell doors opening into this
activity area. (See Figure 2.)

Dorms: number of inmates for whom dormitories were
designed.

Cells per unit: the number of cells in each block, pod,
or module-the number of cells included in one housing unit of the facility.

Special housing: number of inmates for whom medical, psychiatric, isolation, holding, and other special
cells were designed.

Inmates per unit: the number of inmates (design capacity) in a typical block, pod, or module.

Management type: the type of surveillance utilized
for a typical housing unit per design. Options include
intermittent surveillance, where officers may walk
periodically down hallways lined with cells and do not
have constant view of all inmate areas; remote surveillance, where officers have inmates under constant
observation but are separated from inmates by a security enclosure or barrier; or direct supervision, where
officers are in constant contact with inmates and not
enclosed in a workstation or separated by other barriers.
Date ofpopnlation given: the date by which facility
administrators reported the current population.
Facility commitment: the type of inmate housed in
the facility. Several States permit inmates from State
prison systems to be housed in local jail facilities, and
while some States will permit units oflocal government
to board jail prisoners in State facilities, the practice
is most unusual.
Means to handle crowding: the means by which the
facility handles, or plans to handle, crowding of its
facility. Options include bunk beds in cell; mattresses
on floor; beds in dayroom; and second bunk permanently attached to wall. Some facilities do not permit
crowding.
Construction process
Finance method: the method of payment for the construction project and the source of funds. Options include General Obligation Bonds (G. 0. Bonds); Lease
Revenue Bonds; revenue sharing; other Federal funds;
special election; floating or variable rate; Certificates
of Participation; local funds; State funds; shared cost
from multiple jurisdictions; and facility leased from
private entity.

NIJ!National Directory of Corrections Construction

Contract method: the legal and financial steps used
in the building process. Options include conventional
design and bid; construction management (CM) fast
track; and turn-key design and build. For methods
involving firms other than the architect, such as construction management fast track or turn-key design and
build, the name of the responsible firm will be shown
at the top of the profile page.
Use of inmate labor: participation by prisoners in any
aspect of the construction process and the specific
activities in which they may have been engaged. This
also reflects whether the use of inmate labor was limited, moderate, or extensive.
Use of prefabrication: techniques that may have been
used to n:anufacture portions of the facility away from
the construction site. If plant manufacturing was
utilized, the nature of the components is described
here, as is whether use was limited, moderate, or
extensive.
Architect's reported analyses
Architects have reported the factors which, in their
opinion, strongly influenced both costs and length of
time that were required for completion of the facility.
Architects have reported the positive and negative
points for each project in separate categories for cost
issues and time factors. Examples of positive cost
factors might be favorable market conditions or repetitiveness of design. Under time issues, positive factors
could include advanced order of materials and
hardware oruse of prefabricated components. Negative
cost and time factors include such issues as difficult
site conditions or labor problems.

Appendix A
ACA standards for design of
adult correctional institutions
and local detention facilities

ACA standards
Design of adult correctional institutions
and local detention facilities
The National Institute of Justice has created this directory
to illustrate how jails and prisons may be designed and
built. As a handbook for construction, it would not be
complete without discussion of the standards by which
correctional facilities are designed.
For many years, both officials and architects have relied
upon the standards developed by the American Correctional Association. These guidelines have served corrections agencies by providing direction along the difficult
path from inception to completion of a new jail or prison.
However, strict adherence to construction guidelines
may be costly for some jurisdictions. Thus, not every
agency can follow the standards in their entirety. For
this reason, not every facility in this catalog is in complete
compliance with ACA standards.
By drawing on the collective experience of corrections
officials across the Nation, the ACA standards may help
those planning new facilities to consider the lessons
learned by colleagues who have faced the same problems.
Like the premise of NIJ' s Construction Information Exchange, the ACA standards represent an opportunity to
"build on experience."

Prisons/adult correctional institutions
Although planners and designers of new or remodeled
facilities should consider all ACA standards and their
relationship to design, the following selected standards
are especially critical in facility planning. These standards
are presented as important reminders that should be reviewed frequently during the design process of correctional facilities.

2-4022. The institution provides for all inmates the
following constructive programs, including, at a
minimum: reception and orientation; evaluation and
classification; academic education equivalent to high
school; vocational training; employment; religious
services; social services and counseling; psychological
and psychiatric services; library services; medical and
dental health care; athletic, recreational, and leisure
time activities; inmate involvement with community
groups; mail and visiting; access to media, legal materials, attorneys, and courts; volunteer services; and
prerelease orientation and planning.
2-4049. There is an inmate commissary or canteen
where inmates can purchase items not furnished by the
facility from an approved list. Strict controls are maintained over its operation and standard accounting procedures are followed.

NIJ!National Directory of Corrections Construction

2-4086. Space and equipment required for the training
and staff development program are available.

2-4129. Existing, renovation, addition, new plant.
Only one inmate occupies a room or cell designed for
single occupancy that has a floor area of at least 60
square feet, provided inmates spend no more than 10
hours per day locked in. When confinement exceeds
10 hours per day, there are at least 80 square feet of
floor space.
2-4130. Existing, renovation, addition, new plant.
Each room or cell has, at a minimum, the following
facilities and conditions:
Sanitation facilities, including access to:
• Toilet above floor level that is available for use
without staff assistance 24 hours a day.
• Wash basin with hot and cold running water.
A b~d at above floor level, desk, hooks or closet space,
chalf or stool.
Natural light.
Documentation by an independent, qualified source
that:
• Lighting is at least 20 footcandles at desk level
and in the personal grooming area.
• Circulation is at least 10 cubic feet of outside or
recirculated filtered air per minute per human
occupant.
• Temperatures are appropriate to the summer and
winter comfort zones.
• Noise levels do not exceed 70 decibels in daytime
and 45 decibels at night.

2-4131. Existing, renovation, addition, new plant
(minimum security only). Where used, multiple occupancy rooms house no less than three and no more
than 50 inmates each who are screened for suitability
to group living prior to admission. Multiple occupancy
rooms are continuously observed by staff and provide
the following facilities and conditions:
.(\. minimum floor area of 50 square feet per occupant

What is the National Institute of Justice
Construction Information Exchange?
NIJ

Created by the National institute of Justice, the Construction
Information Exchange centralizes and shares data about
prison and jail construction. It is a network of people and
a source of information that ...
• Puts you in touch with other State and local officials
across the country.
• Describes how others quickly built lower-cost jails or
prisons.

• Construction Bulletins-pamphlets that feature case studies of
critical corrections issues and
noteworthy construttion projects.
These summaries explain how jurisdictions have realized savings in
time, money, or both. The bulletins
cover areas such as construction
financing, jail planning, security
perimeters, and modular building
techniques. Copies of the bulletins
are available free from the Construction Information Exchange.

• Shares ideas on innovative designs and new management
concepts.
• Refers you to construction specialists, such as architects,
engineers, and construction managers.

The exchange has helped a variety of people since it began and
it can help you as well. When your community needs to build,
expand, or remodel a corrections facility, you don't have to start
from scratch. You can build on the experience of officials who
faced similar situations in other communities.

Who can use the Construction Information
Exchange?

The exchange has three components:
• The Construction Data Base-a system that serves as a
continuing, up-to-date information resource. With listings for
recently designed prisons and jails, the data base contains more
than 150 types of information on each facility-such as construction costs, construction time, facility dimensions, inmate security, methods for dealing with crowding, fire protection systems,
staffing levels, and operational costs. Accessible through trained
corrections information specialists, the data base includes every
facility listed in the National Directory ofCorrections Construction and is regularly updated and expanded.
You can obtain from the data base a customized Correctional
Facility Profile Search listing all facilities that match the specifications you request. For example, if you need to know the cost
of a 300-inmate facility using direct supervision, you can receive
printouts of all such facilities from the data base. Free information
is available by phone and more detailed printed reports can be
ordered by contacting the Construction ~ ; , : : ~ - - - - - - - - Information Exchange at the number

• The National Directory of
Co"ections Construction-a
document that provides a
wealth of information on construction methods and costs for
262 jails and prisons built since

1978. The directory includes a
floorplan of a typical housing
unit for most facilities. The
directory may be used as a resource manual for contacting
facility administrators, sheriffs,
architects, and other professionals who have recently

How can you enter a facility or update
information in the data base?

I

Architects who have designed corrections construction projects
since 1978 should contact the Construction Information Exchange
for a survey form to enter the facility in the exchange. Similarly,
corrections officials or administrators of facilities constructed
since 1978 but not listed in the directory may contact the Construction Information Exchange, which will mail a survey form
to the architect of their facility. Every effort has been made to
verify all information in the directory. If you would like to add,
change, or update any of the data in this publication, simply call
the Construction Information Exchange.
