The construction of Roumieh Jail was commissioned by the Council for Development and Reconstruction (CDR). The project occupies a site extending over approximately 12,000 m², with a total construction surface area of approximately 7,000 m². The total project cost amounted to USD 7,150,664. Construction commenced in 2010 and was completed in 2017.
The project is organized into two main blocks, each dedicated to a distinct institutional function:
Block A – Court
The Court block comprises three floors, with a total area of approximately 1,500 m². It accommodates the main judicial and supporting functions, including:
• Entrance
• Secretariat
• Court hall
• Kitchen
• W.C. facilities
• Other associated support spaces
Block B – Prison
The Prison block comprises seven floors, with a total area of approximately 5,500 m². The building accommodates the principal detention, security, circulation, and service functions, including:
• Stores
• Prison rooms
• Waiting rooms
• Mechanical rooms
• Security rooms
• W.C. facilities
• Other associated service and support spaces
The two-block organization clearly separates the judicial and detention functions while integrating them within a unified institutional complex.
