Korte beschrijving/Annotatie

Prisons are not neutral containers for punishment. Their walls, corridors, and cells reflect deliberate design choices that shape how power is exercised and how people behave within confined spaces.

Tekst achterflap

Prisons are not neutral containers for punishment. Their walls, corridors, and cells reflect deliberate design choices that shape how power is exercised and how people behave within confined spaces. This book examines the architecture of incarceration, from early penitentiary models built on principles of isolation and observation to contemporary facilities designed around surveillance and control. You will learn how design decisions influence relationships between prisoners and staff, how spatial arrangements can either reinforce or diminish human dignity, and how architectural theory has informed penal policy across different periods and countries. This work was generated by an artificial intelligence and is intended to provide a clear, factual introduction to the subject. It offers you a starting point for understanding how physical structures intersect with questions of justice, discipline, and institutional life.
