This publication should be the first that elected officials and other policymakers turn to when developing jail facilities--either a new jail or expansion of an existing jail. All the participants’ roles, decisions they make, and the documents resulting from the process are covered.
Sections of this manual explain:
- what the facility development process is;
- who the participants in the decision are;
- what types of decisions must be made;
- how much time and money are spent on each phase;
- and the nine phases with their respective tasks and track activities.
- A facility development process flowchart is also included.
