Answer to Question 1

A widely used alternative to local or state control is regional or multicounty arrangements. Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas were the first states to adopt regional jails. This arrangement typically takes place when a jurisdiction with an adequate jail is willing to contract with neighboring cities and counties to house prisoners on a per diem basis or when a group of local governments decides that no existing facility is adequate and then decides to build a new regional jail or detention center.. Furthermore, local governments may decide to specialize and house different populations, such as juveniles, females, pretrial detainees, or convicted felons awaiting transportation

Answer to Question 2

The focus of first-generation jails is on staff providing linear/intermittent surveillance of inmates, which they do by patrolling the corridors and observing inmates in their cells. In a second-generation jail, the staff uses remote supervision as they remain in a secure control booth surrounded by inmate pods or living areas. New-generation jails have a podular architectural design that emphasizes the interaction of inmates and staff. Fourth-generation jails use the omniview total supervision, which encompasses a centrally placed, high-strength, mirrored control with a panoramic view that provides 100 percent surveillance of the entire inmate facility. This promises to provide increased security as well as increased operational cost savings for all classification needs.
