SYNTHESIS
In jail space, less population or more, needed a traffic reports and courtrooms, and it is most important to have one-story plan well arranged. Circulation, isolation, and public and private entrances are equally important. The prisoner booking room, jail, and general office should be arranged so that one officer can book and supervise the prisoners, handle communications, and serve the public without leaving the main office. The entrance to the jail and routing of prisoner traffic must be separated from the public are traffic. There must be an enclosed hallway for conducting prisoners from the jail to the courtroom. Offices for chief and assistant officers are accessible to the jail or to the public. The public area should be separated from the prisoner areas. The courtroom has the public entrance at one end, and another entrance for jail access.
