Elderly
Example:
Telephone pole design institutions have several wings that are
connected by a central corridor. These designs can have a
physical
impact on elderly inmates. Older inmates may struggle
getting around the long corridors typically present in these
designs. Gaining access to medicine and services can be
problematic. These institutions can also have a
psychological
impact on elderly inmates. Older inmates may feel the stress of
being placed with younger inmates. They may feel more
vulnerable to being attacked. There could be a sense of social
isolation. And, further stress could be felt due to the inability of
staff being able to gain control of a corridor in the event of a riot
(Siegel & Bartollas, 2018). Further, this design could affect
inmate/officer relationships
. This type of style creates a distant
relationship between officers and inmates. As a result, officers
may not realize the unique needs of the elderly inmates and may
have the same expectations of them as they do of the younger
inmates.
