OUR FOCUS

JUSTICE

Our reputation has helped HMN build a successful justice architecture practice across the Midwest. Our experienced team has designed over 60 justice facilities and can help you navigate the unique challenges facing your organization: county budgets, protection from design related liability, low staffing requirements, and maintaining affordable construction costs. When working with justice facilities, developing a cost-effective design approach is critical. Conserving all your resources, whether financial, human or environmental, is a hallmark of our practice. Committed to generating an excellent return on investment, we often reduce operating costs by achieving staffing ratios as high as 1:75 in housing areas.

Over the years, we’ve designed all aspects of the justice process, including secure inmate housing, law enforcement offices, judicial centers, and telecommunication centers. In designing each of these facilities, HMN utilizes a unique, two-point contact system. This ensures you’ll always be able to speak with someone who is knowledgeable about your project and has the authority to make timely decisions.

REFERENDUM EXPERIENCEAbout half the projects HMN has been associated with required pre-referendum work with the county constituency. Of those two failed referendums, one was re-introduced and subsequently passed while HMN still held a contract with the county.

The key to successful referendum is summed up in the following points:• Identify the need.• Create consensus among the decision makers.• Present a solution that addresses the needs and respects the taxpayer’s expectations.• Understand the solution and have a consistent message to your constituency.• Recognize that the county must sell the project. The design team provides you the tools.

HMN has done a number of things to earn this success:• Held charrette session(s) that allow stakeholders to voice ideas and take part in the design process. This, if the

team is fully engaged, helps build consensus.• From those sessions, we provide schematic plans and renderings that depict the concept of the future project.• We have helped with the print art for Q&A pieces that can be handed out.• We attend and help answer questions at Town Hall meetings to show a consistent message.• We have even photographed and created a video of the issues in the facility to help the public understand the

problems you’re faced with.• Provide economical solutions that meet the county’s need.

We have answered questions at county fair booths, presented a business luncheons, shared information at church functions and got the day started at breakfast events. We are willing to fully indulge in community involvement, as needed.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE ANDREW COUNTY, MISSOURI

HMN Architects teamed up with Andrew County and the United States Department of Agriculture on the 17,853 SF 44-bed jail, Sheriff’s office, 911 center and emergency operations center after the original architect was unable to complete the project.

HMN revised the original design and provided new documents to bring the project within budget. HMN continued to provide services through bidding and construction.

Andrew County obtained a subsidy that allowed for an electrical solar panel array to be added to the project. The array is located on site at the rear of the building and is expected to return the cost of investment within ten years.

A second phase to infill an area designed into the original project was completed in 2017.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE BARBER COUNTY, KANSAS

Barber County selected HMN to design their new public safety building because of our experience in both healthcare and justice sectors. HMN worked closely with the commission, the public health and emergency management director, and the county clerk to achieve a design that met their budget and goals.

The design team worked to create a building complimented with the 1954 courthouse across the street and still fit in with the adjacent residential area in terms of scale and massing. One of the design criteria HMN was given was to create a design that didn’t have a flat or low sloped roof.

The new facility has one public entrance that is ADA compliant with automatic door openers. There is also a wheelchair friendly sidewalk path from the parking lot to the entrance. The staff has two entrances that use proximity reader cards to record and control their use.

The building has a large 3,450 SF area that will function as a training space. During elections, that same space will be used as the polling area. If the county was hurt by a pandemic or natural disaster, the space would function as an emergency operations center (EOC).

We used pre-cast and poured in place concrete for the walls and a hollow-core panel structural ceiling (lid) to make this space a safe location. It is tucked into the heavily sloped site to help protect its west side and diminish the buildings profile. The concrete hollow core lid also gave the engineer the opportunity to locate the mechanical systems in the attic area created by the previously mentioned roof design.

The EOC has storage and office space as well as an information technology area that is a new secure hub for the county’s important electronics. There is also an equipment storage room to be used by the election officers and for general storage needs. A warming kitchen is available for county training, seminar sessions or in the event of a crisis.

The public health wing is separated from the EOC by the lobby. The new department has a separate waiting room that is visually controlled by the reception desk and separated from the staff work areas. This allows the children to use the play area without as much noise in the departments work space. The design for the public health wing is based on a central nursing station that allows the staff easy access to the exam rooms, education spaces and administrative offices.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY, KANSAS

HMN Architects teamed with Chautauqua County on their jail and sheriff’s office. For this project, HMN provided pre-bond services. There was opposition to the project, but the team gave presentations and provided materials to aid in the eventual passing of the vote 3:1.

The new jail uses an indirect supervision style. The team incorporated good sightlines for visual observation, which allows for a single command post to view 20 general population beds. The jail also provides two booking cells with three bunks. Housing is divided into four dayrooms, which aids the jail’s ability to classify inmates.

The facility also has a drive through vehicular sallyport and multi-purpose room for the sheriff and staffs use. Central control and dispatch monitoring station are combined to support a small staff. An indoor and outdoor exercise yard, evidence storage and training room are also included in the design. The project features an administration area, which provides space for the county attorney, city police, road patrol, sheriff, undersheriff, and additional staff work areas.

The county faced budgetary and siting restrictions. The new jail was meant to fit on the courthouse square. To meet the client’s goals, the team designed a project to fit the jail’s current needs and incorporated flexibility for growth without adding square footage to the courthouse square. The final design compliments the 1930’s courthouse by using red brick and cast stone accents, along with a red standing seam roof.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE CLAY COUNTY, IOWA

HMN Architects teamed with Clay County on a 28-bed detention center and sheriff’s office. This new building is on the site of the existing sheriff’s office. Merging the jail with the sheriff’s office meant that there were a variety of stakeholders involved in the design process. Recognizing the varied needs of staff and incorporating them into the design proved challenging, but our team listened to the client and was able to include their requests within the budget. By meeting with the sheriff, chief deputy, investigator, jail administrator, and board of supervisors, HMN designed a facility that worked for all parties involved.

The new facility has 20 general population beds with another six dedicated to work release and two for medical or administrative segregation. The new booking area has six holding cells and gives the county a larger capacity for holding. Using an indirect, single post supervision style, the jail has five dayrooms. The space also includes a warming kitchen, laundry and an indoor and outdoor exercise yard.

There are a few design features requested by the county that are unique to a jail of this size. The large evidence storage has been designed to accommodate the county’s needs and the evidence processing area has pass-through lockers. It was important to the sheriff to provide a squad room with individual work spaces for road patrol, which was incorporated into the design. To accommodate the colder climate, the vehicular sallyport allows for indoor parking. The facility also has a large training and meeting space that will be used by the community as well as the law enforcement. This area can also double as an emergency operations center with a concrete lid and masonry walls.

In terms of the exterior design, the administration area uses fiber reinforced concrete skin over metal studs with a mixture of flat and low-sloped roofs of standing metal seam. Two colors of sand blasted pre-cast panels were used for the detention area. The team utilized sustainability concepts and geothermal technology with savings from the local utility company.

The HMN team included a local architect with strong ties to the community as a way to promote local involvement.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE COLE COUNTY, MISSOURI

HMN Architects teamed with Architects Alliance as the associate architect on the Cole County Law Enforcement Center to provide full-architectural and interior design services.

The Law Enforcement Center includes a new 180-bed jail and sheriff’s office, kitchen, parking garage and 42,000 SF of shell, including floor area below the housing unit for an additional 180 beds in the future. The facility also incorporates large training spaces for staff and regional instruction.

This facility was constructed a half block away from the capitol in downtown Jefferson City, Missouri. Building in the capitol city presents a unique demand on the design for both security and blending the facility into the monumental architecture of the State complex.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE DAKOTA COUNTY, NEBRASKA

The new 134-bed podular facility was conducted as an addition to the west side of the existing courthouse. The project entailed the renovation of the court spaces within the courthouse to allow for better security for the movement of prisoners in and out of court, as well as overall security for court personnel. Planned expansion for an additional 120-beds was incorporated into the design.

The current jail, located on the east side of the courthouse, is scheduled for remodeling and renovation into office space. HMN also assisted in the public awareness campaign to inform voters prior to a bond issue for funding.

This facility utilizes the second generation of the ‘direct-indirect’ housing control center developed by HMN. It consists of a raised, solid surface enclosure with the top at six feet above the finished floor. The housing control is under constant observation from central control, both by direct line of site and closed circuit TB. The top is curbed to prevent vaulting and the access steps have a turn and barrier to prevent ‘rushing’ the center. A ‘panic button’ cut off switch of electronic controls is available to the staff in the event of emergencies, which also sounds an alarm in central control. This configuration allows the housing control staff to have direct communication with inmates and other staff in the circulation areas, while giving staff a defensible space to operate in.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE DUNKLIN COUNTY, MISSOURI

Dunklin County Justice Center is a project that stemmed due to the county’s significant growth, surpassing their inmate holding capacity. The need to expand and improve their sheriff’s facilities became a priority.

The county had the opportunity to purchase a large, vacant 1960’s paper mill and re-purpose the space into a county jail and sheriff’s office, as the first of many phases of work. The offices of the county stakeholders are also housed within this new space. HMN completed the first phase of work in 2006.

The second phase of work included a new courts complex. In 2012, HMN began the preliminary work on the new courts complex, including two courtrooms (one with and one without jury seating), a hearing room and the law library. The project scope also included office space for the clerk of the court, the county prosecutors, the county judges, and all administrative aides.

HMN recognized the opportunity to develop three distinct circulation orders in this new space to define public, private and secured travel routes. By situating the courts facility adjacent to the jail in the envelope of this massive structure, HMN eliminated the need to transport inmates, who are now escorted down a secure corridor directly to a holding area between the courtrooms.

Access control technology allows the judges to access their benches from a private corridor. Additional access controls help manage the waiting areas at the prosecuting attorney’s suite, the clerk of the court’s office and the law library. The public access is monitored at a common check point with a security station and they are limited to only certain areas of the facility.

The second phase of work was completed in 2014.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE FORD COUNTY, KANSAS

The Ford County Jail is a 256-bed facility with a sheriff’s office in the facility. The jail is a blend of direct and indirect supervision styles with open, raised satellite control posts in the housing pods. They are designed so the officer is protected while still having direct control and supervision of the housing and circulation areas. The jail is designed to allow for an expansion up to a total of 520-beds.

When building the jail, the team used pre-cast modules for cell construction. Modular construction can be an advantage on “green field” site projects, because it reduces construction time by several months. On a project like this, where the county was paying to house inmates in other counties, the savings were significant. By using this technique, the project was completed several months ahead of schedule.

Dodge City’s history and famous law enforcement heritage is captured in images in the public library as a way to identify the importance of the sheriff department in the community.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE GREENE COUNTY, ARKANSAS

When HMN Architects teamed with Greene County on the 416-bed addition to their 1980’s facility, they were facing a number of challenges. The jail was overcrowded and pending legislation meant the number of inmates would potentially grow, if some felonies were deregulated. To help make the addition a reality, HMN provided pre-bond services. These included meetings with community organizations to explain the needs and reasoning behind the project. Hosting informational sessions to dispel rumors and quiet the opposition. The project team also presented to the Quorum Court, which had to pass the proposal before it would go to a vote in the County. The court’s decision was unanimous, and the vote passed in the community by a large margin.

The 416-bed jail uses a central control with separate housing control stations within the facility. The jail uses a steel module system for securing inmates. The addition included a new sallyport, booking area and kitchen. A medical area with negative pressure cells is located in the addition. The renovated space includes a new laundry, work release, administration offices and an area for trusty inmates.

With new housing demands placed on the county, the jail was designed to accommodate future growth. A third party evaluation stated the facility would accommodate Greene County for 20 years. The team was able to offer a large number of beds for a lower price by using a simple palette for exterior and interior materials.

HMN’s project team worked with Greene County to minimize the need for staff, maximize efficiency and limit inmate movement. The new design also offers easier maintenance. The project was built in a seismic area, and the addition is a rigid frame metal building with a metal skin exterior.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE HENRY COUNTY, MISSOURI

HMN Architects was hired to design a new, 112-bed detention center for Henry County, Missouri. The 29,000 SF facility includes work release, a kitchen, training room and the law enforcement center. The building has expansion capabilities giving the county the option to add courtrooms and necessary support services in the future.

In addition to designing the detention center, HMN was originally retained by the county to assist the citizens’ jail committee in assessing the need for a new jail. After the need had been established, HMN aided the county in site selection, choosing an underutilized commercial site located near the historic courthouse. Later, our team helped with the bond referendum process by providing information concerning design, cost estimates, graphics for Q&A handouts, and making appearances at public hearings.

The county commission used the innovative approach of dividing the bond referendum into three separate votes: a detention center, justice center and 911 expansion. The detention center proved popular, easily passing, while the justice center and 911 expansion did not. This allowed the much need detention center project to move forward.

HMN’s design team faced challenges relating to the site’s size. After reviewing the area needs, operational philosophy and staffing requirements, the team determined a single, enclosed control area would best meet the county’s security needs. They also placed the security electronics and mechanical equipment above central control to ensure secure access and provide adequate space for the necessary jail components.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE HUGHES COUNTY, SOUTH DAKOTA

The Hughes County jail and juvenile justice center is located on a hill overlooking the Missouri River. The site is picturesque, but posed some distinct challenges. The area was not served by a road or utilities, which was problematic for the team. An access road was constructed to access the site.

The new jail has 144-beds. The cells are double bunked in the main housing area. In addition to traditional jail housing, the facility includes a 24-bed work release area. It is comprised of dorm space divided into two, separate spaces for males and females. There are 18 male beds and six female beds. The facility also has a 16-bed juvenile detention area, which is divided into 4 pods to allow for maximum flexibility.

The Hughes County jail features supervised video visitation, medical holding and a drive through sallyport. Jail administration support spaces were also included in the design. Alcohol and drug testing can be performed at this facility and the appropriate spaces needed such as blood draw laboratory were incorporated into the design.

The jail also has a warming kitchen for the food that is delivered from the nearby women’s prison. HMN considered the future needs of Hughes County when creating the design. The new facility is expandable to 288 beds in order to allow for growth.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE PRATT COUNTY, KANSAS

The Law Enforcement Center for the City of Pratt and Pratt County was built in the mid-seventies and is located on the county square with the courthouse. The site is compact with a common alley between the jail and the courthouse. At the time it was built the use of bar front cells was still common practice in many rural areas and Pratt County was no different.

The area identified for the booking and intake was a small space with a shower and single cell. This didn’t allow for processing multiple offenders or easily separating genders. The Sheriff and his staff have adapted and improvised to work around many of these issues but the increased bookings and larger numbers of female inmates have created hardships and liabilities.

HMN was hired to look at the issues and come up with an innovative solution to the problems. After several design options, a plan to project into the alley was accepted. This limits the alley traffic to one direction but it gives the jail three holding cells, a new vehicular sallyport, a true work station for the booking officers and two door interlocked man ports. To grow the booking and intake, HMN had to relocate the dispatch which allowed for a jail administrator’s office. By growing the footprint into the alley it allowed HMN to look at enlarging the kitchen and incorporating a secured receiving area, adding an office and growing the production area. In the future phases of work, the kitchen will grow again to accommodate future beds.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE ROOKS COUNTY, KANSAS

The citizens of Rooks County, Kansas took the first step to replace their jail by passing their sales tax referendum on November 4, 2014. It was one of the only Kansas sales tax vote that passed in 2014 for this kind of a facility. The existing jail was located on the top floor of the Rooks County Courthouse, a historical gem built in the 1920s. The historic jail is a glimpse of what was state-of-the-art design in the last century.

The new facility houses the sheriff’s office and operations as well as a 20-bed jail divided into four dayrooms. The dayrooms will allow the sheriff to separate the inmates into groups that minimizes conflicts. It will feature touch screen security electronics to minimize staff disruptions. That technology is state-of-the-art for 2014.

The design also maximizes the views into the dayrooms so fewer staff are required to manage the jail. The intake and booking will provide an additional three-beds for holding inmates while they are being processed. A new area for dispatch, emergency operations, inmate property hold, secured evidence storage and a cooking kitchen round out the major design elements housed under a sloped single-ply roof and a low maintenance EIFS and brick exterior.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE TANEY COUNTY, MISSOURI

The three-level, 116,750 SF, justice center is constructed of pre-cast concrete and masonry on a steel frame. The justice center houses the 264-bed jail and 9,900 SF law enforcement center, including the dispatch services, sheriff’s office, and other administrative offices. In addition, there are two jury trial courtrooms, two non-jury courtrooms, judge’s chambers, clerks of the county’s office, prosecuting attorney offices, and the juvenile offices.

The 44,500 SF, 264-bed jail has 132 double bunked cells designed to a medium/maximum standard. The 14 dayrooms have either 16 or 20 beds allowing for the highest flexibility in housing classification. A hardened central control center oversees the entire operation of the jail with a satellite control center for each housing area. The cells are pre-cast concrete modules, containing two cells each. The use of pre-cast cells and pre-cast walls took months off the construction schedule, saving the county time and money.

The satellite housing control centers are a hybrid of direct/indirect open station, constructed of formed solid surfacing. The open control centers are defensible in an emergency through several innovative features. The top of the center is six feet above the finished floor and curved inward to discourage vaulting. The stepped entry is also turned to slow access. Communication between the officers and inmates is improved by their ability to read non-verbal cues and hear inmates, reducing tension and the opportunity for misunderstandings.

All the staff at HMN Architects were a pleasure to work with during our jail project. From the beginning, our desires and vision for a safer facility was the focus of HMN and as the project moved forward, we were listened to each step of the way. The end result is a facility I could not be happier with and created a place where my staff enjoys coming to work. I would highly recommend HMN Architects to anyone.
