Where do you think is a good (or the best) location for putting a jail?

tofu

i don't think anyone will like a jail in his area?  just like i am so upset that govn't is  going to put a mental clinic in my area.

but i never heard the government is going to put a jail/mental clinic in van west or west van, why

Ultraman

It's understandable and sense making for nobody wants a jail in the area he/she is living in. Then, where to find a piece of suitable "no man land" to build the jail on?
In other words, where should be the best place to put a jail?

But the location they choose is very bad this time.

They are going to put by BCIT, and right next to BCIT there is a high school and church around.  Typical quiet residential area.


Why put a jail next to/close to a high school?

Not even that.  What if the 犯逃 are "bin tai"? and there are many kids around that area?
I feel bad for my manager as she live so close to Morscop high school and she has two little one...

how often would you hear an inmate successfully run away…. @.@ i mean maybe the jail can scare the kids straight

it’s understandable why people don’t like a jail being located in their own neighborhood (ie. Fear, house price dropping etc etc), but let’s be realistic…

What could be worse, a jail or a mental illness hospital? (not discriminating any of them, just a general comparison).
Firstly, I think it's very rare to have 犯逃 happens. Secondly, even so, I think the most important thing for them to do is to run away as far as they can, instead of admitting a new crime right away in the neighborhood.
Moreover, I can't imagine how noisy would a jail be. I think montessori/kindergarten and primary school are even nosier.
