Extractions: Integrus Architecture As public safety becomes a greater issue everywhere, detention and correction facilities have a become a greater part of the design and construction industry. Design of these facilities responds to dramatic inmate population growth, operational and management changes, special needs populations, and changing project delivery methods. Numerous large scale buildings are under construction across the country. Over the last fifteen years, the number of people incarcerated in the United States has tripled, from 500,000 to more than 1.5 million. In the last ten years, the Federal Bureau of Prisons has grown from 48 facilities and 42,000 inmates to 90 institutions housing more than 101,000 inmates. The need for new correction/detention facilities is preeminent in the Pacific Northwest. The states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana are all currently in the process of designing and building additional correctional facilities. The state of Washington is planning a new 1,900-bed facility in western Washington, and Integrus is currently involved in a 500-bed expansion of the recently completed Airway Heights Correction Center in eastern Washington. Oregon has completed a long range prison construction plan which shows that by the year 2005, more than 9,000 additional prison beds will be needed. This plan calls for four 1,500-bed medium security facilities and seven 400-bed minimum security facilities to be designed and built in the next ten years. This major expansion of correction facilities at the state level has also spilled over into the local communities. Oregon is providing construction dollars to over a dozen counties to allow for expansion of their local correction/detention facilities. In order to respond to the growing demand, the state has mandated that any inmate with a sentence of less than one year must stay in the local community. Integrus is involved in the design of a facility responding to this mandate in Douglas County.
Extractions: Education Secretary Margaret Spellings moved this week to triple the number of students, from 1 percent (73,000) to 3 percent (219,000), with learning disabilities who can be exempted from federal achievement standards and assessments in reading and math, but educators say the new allowance is still too restrictive. Utah, which has resisted federal involvement in state education standards, has about 20,000 children with severe disabilities in special-education classes, representing about 4 percent of the state's student population, said state school chief Patti Harrington. Overall, the state has about 57,000 children, almost 12 percent of all students, in special education, and "about 3 percent tested at adaptive level, where they are, instead of at grade level," she said.
