Show moreJuvenile intake screening facilities and juvenile detention centers assess and detain youth who have committed a delinquent or criminal act. The performance goals for these facilities are SECURITY, OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE, and STAFF AND YOUTH COMFORT. These goals complement each other, however, usually due to limited budgets, issues of comfort are not always implemented. This report examines comfort issues as related to juvenile intake screening facilities and admission/release area of juvenile detention centers. The psychological goals which address comfort issues in intake screening facilities and juvenile detention centers are: REDUCE TENSION, REDUCE ANXIETY, provide a NON-THREATENING ATMOSPHERE, REDUCE CHANCES OF CONFLICT, reduce or increase the PERCEPTION OF TIME, reduce or increase the PERCEPTION OF SPACE, MAINTAIN STAFF CONTROL, and increase COMMUNICATION AMONG STAFF. The comfort issues examined in this report are related to: PROXEMICS, FURNITURE, NATURAL LIGHT, PRIVACY, and CHOICE. The results of this report indicate that architectural elements relating to staff and youth comfort be incorporated in intake screening facilities and juvenile detention centers. The benefits of incorporating comfort issues can be applied to the remaining areas of juvenile detention centers, and to other residential juvenile delinquent program facilities.
