Where the plaintiff was convicted in a criminal prosecution of promoting prison contraband and also subjected to a disciplinary proceeding based on the same conduct, this did not constitute a valid double jeopardy claim.

Coughlin, III, Commissioner, New York State Dept. of Correctional Services, et al., the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the judgment of the district court denying the double jeopardy claim.

• The virtual prison: what you see is what you get.

-D prison architecture models - Architecture Construction & Design The Nebraska Dept. of Correctional Services (DCS) used computer-generated 3-D models of correctional facilities it plans to build. Aside from saving time and funds, the use of computerized design also enabled the DCS to integrate operating procedures in the early stage of the design process. A limited budget was appropriated for the construction of three types of facilities; namely, the maximum security unit, the minimum/community custody facility and the minimum security dormitory.
