Beyond Punishment: Designing a Humane Model for Incarceration
Princetown College
For my final major project, I decided to design a juvenile rehabilitation centre located on the current site of HM Prison Dartmoor. The hypothetical centre hosts children aged 10-17, and is more like a boarding school than a typical prison. The aim of the site is education, rehabilitation and well-being, the layout is campus-like inspired the famous Halden Prison in Norway.
The aim of this project was to respond to the growing concerns of the justice system in the UK. Focusing on juvenile offenders, it imagines a new type of incarceration where the ethos is rooted in rehabilitation, education and well being.
