This handbook brings together expertise from a range of
disciplinary perspectives and geographical contexts to address a
key question facing prison policymakers, architects and designers -
what kind of carceral environments foster wellbeing, i.e. deliver a
rehabilitative, therapeutic environment, or other 'positive'
outcomes? The Palgrave Handbook of Prison Design offers insights
into the construction of custodial facilities, alongside
consideration of the critical questions any policymaker should ask
in commissioning the building of a site for human containment.
Chapters present experience from Australia, Chile, Estonia,
Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the
United States - jurisdictions which vary widely in terms of the
history and development of their prison systems, their punitive
philosophies, and the nature of their public discourse about the
role and purpose of imprisonment, to offer readers theories,
frameworks, historical accounts, design approaches, methodological
strategies, empirical research, and practical approaches.
