AI for Correctional Facility Construction
AI for prison and detention facility construction.
Definition
AI for correctional facilities addresses the unique security and code requirements of prisons and detention facilities. AI can help with security design, institutional occupancy requirements, and specialized construction methods. This improves correctional facility project delivery.
In Depth
Correctional facility design involves specialized security requirements — sight line analysis, anti-ligature hardware, duress systems, and security electronics — layered on top of intensive building code requirements for institutional occupancies. AI assists with both the security-driven design requirements and the standard code compliance.
The sight line analysis is critical for staff safety and facility security. AI traces sight lines from officer stations through the facility, identifying blind spots where visual supervision is compromised and recommending camera placement, mirror locations, or layout modifications to provide adequate coverage.
