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).

Gang members generally find themselves in maximum security prisons for administrative purposes, protection, or disciplinary reasons. According to (Pyrooz & Mitchell, 2019) the relative risk of placement into restrictive housing was 71 times greater in California and 16 times greater in Texas for gang affiliates than non-gang inmates. The high numbers of gang members locked up in maximum security prisons also indicates that there is a higher likelihood of mental health problems because of the deprived human interaction and long periods in isolation. Numerous segregated inmates reportedly suffer from mental health problems including anxiety, panic, insomnia, paranoia,
