Justice Facility Design & the Role of Plumbing Products for Health, Safety, & Security

The US has the highest incarceration rate in the world, and with recidivism rates as high as 75% within five years, the prospects for released inmates are dim. There is no simple solution to these issues, but one approach is to focus on rehabilitation to help inmates reintegrate successfully into society upon release. This course looks at the role evidence-based building design can play in a rehabilitative environment that promotes healing, autonomy, and growth. Design strategies are presented with a focus on ADA-compliant, ligature-resistant plumbing products and water management systems that support a clean, safe, secure, rehabilitative environment.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• Identify trends in justice facility design that address inmate rehabilitation, mental health, disability, and aging; operational and maintenance costs; and staff, visitor, and inmate security and well-being.
• Explore specific building design strategies that promote autonomy, privacy, healing, vocation, exercise, and spiritual growth to promote rehabilitation and reduce recidivism.
• Describe how plumbing-related design can meet ADA.
• List plumbing products and accessories that are ADA compliant and ligature resistant.
• Explain the safety, security, water use, cost, maintenance, and flexibility benefits of vacuum plumbing and electronic water management systems.
