Designing for Outcomes

How can we design prisons that - predictably, reliably and consistently - produce the results we all want?

Key Themes:

• Emerging new realities and how to confront them? • GEO experience and learning

Post GFC: The New Realities

• Affordability and focus on outcomes • Community expectations • Prisoner demographics • Ageing infrastructure

“The required deficit cutting nationally will hurt, but it also

provides an opportunity for programs to be tested for effectiveness.”

“Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone If your time to you Is worth savin' Then you better start swimmin' Or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin”
