Detention Surveillance: A Closer Look Into What Makes a Secure Prison

Abstract

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.
