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.
