INDUSTRY CASE STUDY:
CORRECTION FACILITIES & PRISONS

---

Industry Challenge

The United States has over 2 million persons incarcerated in a little less than 6,000 facilities located across the country.  From federal maximum security prisons to juvenile correctional facilities, these facilities serve to confine violent criminals and rehabilitate prisons in a safe, secure, and humane manner.  Correctional facilities and prisons must maintain plans and exercise standard operating procedures to ensure the security and safety of the prison guards, staff, and fellow inmates.  Correctional facilities are also subject to federal and state laws to ensure certain minimum standards of living for those incarcerated in correctional facilities are met in accordance with the U.S. Constitution.
