Abstract: A system of self-sufficient isolated incarceration for housing and rehabilitating inmates comprising dwelling units, each sufficiently secured with barriers such as fences and monitored to prevent escape or injury. The dwelling includes facilities for day-to-day self-sufficiency, including such things as utilities, furniture, and utensils to enable the inmate to be responsible for such things as preparation of food, clothing needs, and the maintaining of the dwelling and the surrounding exterior area. Communication capabilities are provided, such as telephone, radio, and television to enable the inmate to participate in educational, social, entertainment and therapeutic activities.
