The answer is third-generation jail. The concept behind the emergence of third-generation jails is mainly to promote a more humane treatment to convicted inmates. Compared to the first and second- generation jails, third-generation jails were proven to be more successful in providing a more normalized environment and safety amongst inmates and the staff overseeing them. The inmates were provided with better basic commodities and recreational activities. This type of jail was also deemed safer than the old jail structures.
