Owner involvement throughout the planning process is crucial to the success of the planning effort and, ultimately, the successful construction and operation of the new jail. Decisions made at the early stages of the planning process will affect the remainder of the project.

This 32-hour training program teaches the importance of in-depth planning before starting facility design; it does not teach participants how to design a correctional facility.
