Impact
Example: Telephone Pole Design
Example: 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.

Courtyard
female
Courtyard-style correctional facilities provide a significantly broader array of amenities and offer more comfortable living conditions. This has a favorable physical impact on the female inmates residing in them, as they are provided with ample opportunities for suitable exercise and exposure to environmental stimuli. Additionally, these prison designs afford inmates a more personalized living space, fostering positive effects on their psychological well-being.
Moreover, the dynamics of the inmate/officer relationship tend to be largely positive within these types of facilities. They allow inmates to feel more humanized and better connected with correctional officers, resulting in a relationship perceived as more
supportive (Jacobs, 2017).
Campus
Mentally challenged
Campus-style units are primarily designed for minimum and select medium-security prisons. They prioritize open spaces, allowing for a degree of freedom of movement. This approach has notably positive physical implications for mentally handicapped individuals, affording them opportunities for essential exercise.
However, the psychological impact of this design on mentally disabled inmates can vary depending on the severity of their condition. For some, the abundance of stimuli in such an
