5. General principles of Type 1 (T1) facilities
 
  Article 24-General principles of Type 1 (T1) - Prisons  
24.1 General principles of Type 1 (T1) - Prisons  
  T1 Correctional Facilities shall exist for the effective management of prisoners with custodial sentences of up to a maximum of three (3) years.  
  As such, all T1 correctional facilities shall be designed for short term sentences. While a number of inmates may be repeat offenders, the majority are anticipated to be first time prison offenders.  
  The primary purpose of T1 correctional facilities is to ensure that these people never offend again. Contrary to prevailing ideologies, these prisoners (if deemed guilty of violence and anti-social crimes) should be exposed to strong and constant discipline for the duration of their sentence.  
24.2 Non inclusion of T2 and T3 classified prisoners with T1 classified prisoners  
  By this Code, it is an offence to temporarily or permanently house T1 classified prisoners in the same correctional facility as T2 and T3 classified prisoners.  
24.3 Integrity of facility type and design  
  The integrity of the type of specialised correctional facility and its design is paramount for the successful operational of the whole correctional system.  
  A correctional facility defined as a certain type has by implication certain parameters, operational boundaries and unique features. It is therefore a primary duty of the Commander of a correctional facility and their staff that they honor the implied type, design and expected operational of a facility.  
  A disciplinary facility is a disciplinary facility, with implied restrictions. However, a community facility is not a disciplinary facility and has within its design greater privileges and opportunities for personal freedoms for prisoners.  
  At no time under this code shall a Commander and their staff be given permission to alter the implied and explicit operational procedures of a correctional facility to effectively manage it differently to it inherent design and type.  
  Where a Commander, their staff or officials of the Corrections System are found to have willingly and deliberately undertaken operational procedures and systems at one or more facilities that are contrary to their intended function, such actions shall be considered grounds for both dismissal and possible civil and/or criminal proceedings.
