After an article emphasizing the importance of finding design and construction techniques that will speed the building of jail facilities to relieve overcrowding, an article suggests architectural responses for addressing the crowding problem. A number of articles suggest various management and design techniques that can speed prison and jail construction, among them being modular construction and project/construction management. Two articles focus on the roles of the construction manager and the architect, and another article considers the particulars of cost-effective juvenile facility design. Specific design and construction issues considered are selection of the right building materials; planning for a quiet prison; effective design for heating, cooling, and smoke evacuation; perimeter security; and integrated electronic systems. Other issues examined are vulnerability analysis, community opposition to prisons, a global view of prison and jail crowding, and postoccupancy evaluation.
