Semi-trailer units are configured to erect a mobile and scalable detention center to help relieve overcrowded conditions in prisons. A series of conventional semi-trailer units are modified and configured to create a detention center providing typical incarceration features. The trailer units can be arranged in different configurations to provide space for different purposes. Multiple trailer units can be positioned side by side along their length with the walls of the interior trailer units removed to increase the usable area within and among the joined trailer units. The detention center can be scaled up in overall size with additional units as necessary, and reduced in scale or deconstructed if the overcrowding situation were to become relieved.
