CJ 210 Module Four Assignment Template Facility Impact on Inmates Complete the table below by replacing the bracketed text with your responses. In each row, select a facility type and a population, and under “Impact,” in 100 to 150 words, explore the impact of the facility type on the inmate population you selected in that row. Be sure to cite any references in APA style.

Type of Facility/ Architectural Design Inmate Population Impact Example: Telephone Pole Design Example: Elderly Example: Telephone pole design institutions have several wings that are connected by a central corridor. These designs can have a physical impact on elderly inmates. Older inmates may struggle getting around the long corridors typically present in these designs. Gaining access to medicine and services can be problematic. These institutions can also have a psychological impact on elderly inmates. Older inmates may feel the stress of being placed with younger inmates. They may feel more vulnerable to being attacked. There could be a sense of social isolation. And, further stress could be felt due to the inability of staff being able to gain control of a corridor in the event of a riot (Siegel & Bartollas, 2018). Further, this design could affect inmate/officer relationships . This type of style creates a distant relationship between officers and inmates. As a result, officers may not realize the unique needs of the elderly inmates and may have the same expectations of them as they do of the younger inmates. Siegel, L., & Bartollas, C. (2018).

This can impede their emotional, social, and intellectual development as they are confined in an environment that is often restrictive, regimented, and focused on security rather than rehabilitation. There is increased recidivism risk for younger inmates seeing the are exposed to hardened criminals or negative influence while in prison. The lack of rehabilitation programs or educational opportunities can hinder their ability to reintegrate into society successfully. The prison environment can take a toll on the mental health of younger inmates, leading to anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other mental health issues. The stress of incarceration, coupled with the lack of support or coping mechanisms, can exacerbate these problems. Podular/Jail Pods Young people Podular designs often feature smaller housing units or pods, which can facilitate increased supervision and monitoring of inmates, including younger individuals. This might help in maintaining safety and security within these units by allowing staff to have better visibility and control over the population. Smaller, more controlled housing units can potentially limit exposure to negative influences from older, more seasoned criminals, or predatory individuals within the general prison population. This separation might provide a safer environment for younger inmates to focus on rehabilitation and personal
