Examining Implementation Issues with New Generation Jails

Christine Tartaro

Richard Stockton College

The podular direct-supervision jail design and supervision strategy has gained popularity amongcriminal justice researchers and administrators duringthe past 20 years. These "new generation" jails are a radical departure from the traditional linear intermittent design that dominated jail architecture for two centuries. The current study involves an examination of characteristics of 76 jails identified by their administrators as podular direct-supervision facilities. The purpose is to determine the extent to which the jails adhere to what researchers and administrators have identified as elements vital to the success of this type of institution. Specifically, jail characteristics will be presented within Gettinger’s (1984) framework of the psychology of new generation jails. Results indicate that few jails are strictly adhering to the trainingand design techniques that have been recommended for the successful operation of these institutions.
