Justice
The Justice market is constantly changing. Criminal justice reform is leading to nationwide changes in how we conceptualize the role of justice facilities. Our team is at the forefront to provide existing facilities with the updates they need to align with national trends. As new cutting-edge technologies and ideas emerge, we evolve our designs and apply them to best suit our clients’ needs. Our team’s years of experience have informed our holistic approach. We focus on providing a better treatment model—one that focuses on treatment and rehabilitation—which increases a facility’s value to the community.
For Mead & Hunt, staying ahead of the curve while maintaining focus on safety and security is a top priority. We work together with clients and teaming partners to provide innovative, forward-thinking, and effective solutions.
