# Jail Design Guide - Notes

## Chapter 8: Security Perimeter

- Goal: prevent escape and contraband passage

### Ingredients of Security

- Denial (aka prevention): Restrict inmate access to unauthorized internal areas or the outside; provide physical separation for various inmate classifications; control inmate movement using sallyports, staff supervision; eliminate contraband passage with a secure perimeter
- Detection: regular inmate counts, random cell counts, searches, guard notices inmate climbing wall, etc
- Response: triggering lights, lighting selected area, closing gates, etc
- Assessment: determining the nature, degree of a situation

### Design focus
- Creating an overall, 3d barrier called a security perimeter
- Prevents contraband from coming in
- Prevents unauthorized people from coming in or leaving
- Internal security zones
- Control internal movement
- Maintain separation between key activities, inmate occupied areas, especially inmates who pose the highest risk
