An integer goal programming model for determining capital expenditures for correctional facilities
Abstract The selection of capital expenditure projects for the construction of state correctional facilities is often complicated by the existence of multiple and conflicting objectives on the part of the various interest groups involved in the decision-making process. While some groups view the limited availability of state funds to construct such facilities as the paramount consideration, others might consider having adequate capacity to house prisoners in a satisfactory manner, and the effect of prison overcrowding on prisoner sentencing as the primary factors in the decision to construct new facilities. As such. it is imperative that the limited funds available for constructing correctional facilities be allocated in the most efficient and satisfactory manner possible. In this paper, integer goal programming is demonstrated via a case example as a means for allocating funds for capital expenditures for new and renovated correctional facilities. Sensitivity analysis is performed using the model in order to demonstrate its capability for testing various planning scenarios including alternative priority structures, goal constraints and goal levels.
