1.1. STRATEGIC PLAN
1.2. OPERATIONAL OBJECTIVES
1.3. BUDGETARY OBJECTIVES

3. INTRODUCTION
* The concepts utilized in the development of the “New Generation” prototype correctional facility have included:
Unit Management
Direct Supervision
Communal Cells
* The prototypes as developed were guided by the need to enhance the facility’s potential for rehabilitation while maintaining a high level of security by design

4. * The concept as developed incorporate all the recognized standard for humane incarceration.
* The designs reflect detailed space norms and standards incorporating recognized standards and local conditions
* The design concepts have been developed:
(a) To achieve low Life-Cycle-Costing
(b) To permit a variety of procurement methods
(c) To permit rapid & expeditious construction
(d) To maintain a high level of security by design
