“…Os argumentos, favoráveis e contrários, mobilizados nessas ocasiões, de tão repetitivos, já foram amplamente mapeados (COURTRIGHT et al, 2010;GLASMEIER;FARRIGAN, 2007). As justificativas mais recorrentes para a construção de uma prisão num pequeno município rural são: 1a prisão dinamiza a economia local, criando uma demanda estável e significativa de bens e serviços; 2sua construção e funcionamento geram empregos, fixando residentes de classe média no município e aumentado as bases de recolhimento de impostos; 3 a instalação da prisão acarreta benefícios indiretos para toda a população, devido às melhorias que exige nos serviços públicos e na infraestrutura (sistemas de comunicação, transporte, segurança, etc.…”

“…Some rural areas compete to attract correctional facilities to revitalise the economy, highlighting the need for resident-friendly facilities that take into account future property values and the local economy as well as institutional and structural changes (Myers and Martin, 2004; Blankenship and Yanarella, 2004; Rasheed, 2016). Correctional facilities are proven to have a positive impact on local economies without negatively affecting property values, public safety or quality of life (King et al ., 2004; Whitfield, 2008; Useem, 2003; Courtright et al ., 2007). In rural areas, the construction of the correctional facilities can provide economic benefits through the creation of jobs (Hatcher, 1994), access to community services and infrastructure and increasing the population of rural areas (McElligott, 2017; Kang-Brown and Subramanian, 2017).…”

“…As an industry, correctional facilities can be particularly attractive and potentially important, especially in economically challenged rural areas (Courtright et al ., 2007). Correctional facilities are beneficial for local industries because they bring economic development by promoting job growth in various sectors.…”

“…Correctional facilities are also beneficial because they provide more consumers to the open market, where more goods and services can be purchased from local companies (Hatcher, 1994). As long as there are problems in society, the construction of correctional facilities in local communities can yield significant economic benefits (Courtright et al ., 2007). Communities generally rely on industry recruitment and other economic development strategies to provide local residents with new economic opportunities in terms of jobs and income.…”

Potential for local communities in rural areas: sustainable development of prison siting in South Korea

PurposeCorrectional facilities often constitute locally unwanted land use (LULUs), with local residents strongly demanding their relocation. Accordingly, the construction of correctional facilities is currently being promoted in regions that are far from city centres. Some local government officials consider relocating correctional facilities to rural areas as a golden opportunity to revitalise the economies of these areas. This paper focuses on the possibilities of local community participation in the sustainable development of prison siting in rural areas.Design/methodology/approachThe methods and procedure of this study are as follows: (1) to review the relevant literature about regulations or cohesion policies when correctional facilities are constructed, (2) to examine the current issues relating to the conflict between correctional facilities and the local community from the perspective of LULUs and (3) to compare the construction processes of correctional facilities and public buildings in South Korea. The latter focuses on Daegu Correctional Facility as a site study through which to investigate how the facility interacted with the local community when the government decided to locate the correctional facility in a rural area.FindingsThe case study confirmed that communication methods between correctional facilities and stakeholders at each stage affected the occurrence and resolution of conflicts between them. In particular, it was found that correctional facilities in rural areas can transform the characteristics of the community by providing an open facility that serves community needs and boosts the local economy.Originality/valueThis study contributes to a new vision for locating correctional facilities, wherein conflicts are resolved through communication with local communities in rural regions. In addition, the study argues that community participation could allow correctional facilities to function as living hubs in the community and so benefit the residents of rural areas.

“…First, the findings from rural studies may not hold in urban areas. Many rural communities have actively recruited state and federal prisons to their area to stimulate the local economy (Courtright et al 2010; Gibbons and Pierce 1995; Hooks et al 2004; Swanson 1993). Therefore, many rural residents perceive correctional facilities as a sign of hope rather than stigmatization.…”

Correctional Facility Establishments and Neighborhood Housing Characteristics

In the 1990s, the United States experienced unprecedented correctional population growth and accommodated the increase by building new facilities. Worries about the negative effect of such facilities on property values were a primary concern and complicated the siting of facilities. The aim of this study was to examine whether establishing correctional group quarters in urban neighborhoods changed housing characteristics. Propensity score matching was used to estimate the effect of establishing a correctional group quarter between 1990-2000 on 2000 median property values, median rent, home ownership rates, and vacancy rates for 12,790 neighborhoods in 124 large U.S. cities. Housing outcomes in neighborhoods with correctional facility sitings did not differ from what would be expected if such establishments were not created. This finding held regardless of the correctional facility type. The concern of declining property values as a result of the introduction of correctional group quarters populations in neighborhoods is generally unwarranted.
