What To Include In A Prison Design

By Rosella Campbell


The architect is not the only one who is capable of making designs for different establishments. Even if you do not have prior background or certifications for things like prison design, you should be able to make a good plan. Of course, the plan you make might only be a good one if it is for virtual games. Real life architectures should be left in the hands of certified architects.

When you are making a plan for the said establishments, there are different requirements that must be fulfilled to make this place a good area for you. These requirements are basically the rooms that you must include in the plan. To those who are making the plan, here are those important rooms that you must always include in the plan.

The first thing you need to do is to make the designs for cells. This is the most common room that you will have to make for the sake of the detainees that are to be detained in the said jail. You better make sure that there are enough bunk beds in the said cells so that the people detained there can sleep and move without any problems.

The yard is another place that you have to pay close attention to when you are making the designs. The yard should be big enough for the detainees to be rounded up whenever there are activities or emergencies. The police should be able to make rounds on the yard while the detainees are rounded up too.

There should be a workshop in the prisons. This is because most of the detainees will have to work in preparation for their release. When they work, they need to have a place conducive for their work. The workshop should be filled with the tools that are necessary for the detainees to use for their works or their projects.

There is the comfort room too. This is the place where the prisoners will be doing their personal business like urinating, taking a dump, or showering. It is important to have the comfort rooms at least a bit comfortable for the prisoners. It should be designed with the plumbing system and other systems in mind.

Be sure to make a good plan for the visiting area. This visiting area is where the visitors will be allowed to meet up with their loved ones who are imprisoned in the said facility. The said area should be developed in a way that the detained individual and the loved ones will have a comfortable time together despite it being short.

There is also the warden's office. You better make sure that the warden's office is designed so that the warden can keep an eye on the detainees. They have to make sure that the detainees are not attempting to escape, after all. You have to do a good job with the plan for this part of the said facility.

Another room you have to pay close attention to when you are designing is the mess hall. Basically, the mess hall is the place where the detainees will be eating their meals. Since this is where the detainees will be gathering together during mealtime, you better make sure that there are enough chairs and tables there.
