    Detention Surveillance: A Closer Look Into What Makes a Secure Prison
    (North Dakota State University, 2022) Kubischta, Makala
    This research will look into case studies to determine what types of floor plans have the best security and safety elements for a prison. By using simulation software, a conclusion can be made for which prison is the most secure of the chosen case studies. The software used is AnyLogic. These simulations will show the congested areas in the floor plans and where the guards should be stationed to control the space. This proposed research is being done so that the security of prisons can be maintained less through the prison staff and more by the prison walls themselves. Additional peace of mind will be found for the inmates, staff and visitors of the prison.

    Life Continues in Prison
    (North Dakota State University, 2023) Kubischta, Makala
    This study is to create a prison environment that is attuned to the users. To design a prison that enhances the safety of interactions between staff and guards with inmates as well as inmates with each other. I want to focus on a project that changes the perception of prisons in the United States. This facility will be a place that has a greater purpose than that of prisons today. I want to reduce the daily stress of being employed at a prison, being an inmate a prison and as a loved one of someone that is still secure. While providing an environment to connect inmates with their lives outside of prison, it will be a design that has not given up on humanity and human needs. Through research of case studies of prisons across the world and writings about Navajo justice and spirituality I plan to have a process driven thesis project. By learning where previous case studies have succeeded in their prison ideologies/ designs, I plan to expand these to envision a prison meant to fulfill modern incarceration needs. From here, I plan to create a solution that will serve the Navajo people, community of Gallup, New Mexico and surrounding areas by offering them a safe and uplifting facility.
