UN Peacekeeping Operations Explores Rapid Deployment Prison Concept
Prototype Wins ICPA President’s Award
A concept for the development of an innovative “Rapid Deployment Prison” (RDP) recently earned top honors from the International Corrections and Prison Association (ICPA). Presented in October at the ICPA annual conference in Singapore, the President’s Award went to representatives of Dewberry, CGL, AECOM, and Hales-Mills Construction, Ltd., for their work on the RDP prototype. The concept is currently being reviewed by the United Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations for use in post-conflict and postdisaster situations around the world.
The team of consultants had answered ICPA’s call for pro bono assistance in response to a request from the UN. The RDP concept calls for a facility that can be operational within 90 days, enabling the UN to assist nations in reestablishing the “rule of law” swiftly and economically. Objectives include application to a diverse variety of cultures and climates, use of indigenous materials and labor, and development of a cost-effective “kit of parts” that can be used to create a completely new prison or accommodate specific program needs such as housing or administration. The award-winning prototype involves the use of cargo containers as the fundamental building component. The containers can be arranged in a variety of configurations, including the formation of a central

energy core that enables the prison to be self-sustaining, with water harvesting and solar applications. The UN’s requirements included the provision of staff housing and an inmate capacity of 500 beds, with support facilities, for less than $15 million. In addition to a presentation in Singapore, the concept has been presented to ICPA and UN officials in Belgium and Mexico City. A team has also visited Haiti, which could be the first location for implementation. “The Rapid Deployment Prison concept has created a unique fusion of architects, designers, and planners working in the corrections arena,” says ICPA Executive Director Ed Wozniak. “It is one of the most innovative and exciting developments in corrections in recent years.”
