A branch-and-cluster coordination scheme for selecting prison facility sites under uncertainty

A multi-period stochastic model and an algorithmic approach to location of prison facilities under uncertainty are presented and applied to the Chilean prison system. The problem consists of finding locations and sizes of a preset number of new jails and determining where and when to increase the ca...
