Abstract

Due to the increase in gang violence in today's prisons, Corrections Departments face the challenge of keeping prison staff and inmates safe while meeting aggressive goals to provide healthcare in a timely manner. This paper discusses the approach of using simulation modeling to analyze and identify the most effective business processes to meet these goals in a complex Receiving and Release area of a State Prison.
