A REVOLUTION IN PRISON ARCHITECTURE THROUGH REHABILITATION COMMUNITY PRISON AND REHABILITATION

Abstract

Throughout human history, the concept of punishment has existed in every community. However, the activities classified as "crime" and the penalties inflicted on criminals for the same offense have revealed variances in each civilization and age. In the modern world, the concept of punishment has been reinterpreted and considered as an opportunity for rehabilitation. European countries, particularly the Nordic countries, have successfully put rehabilitative theory into reality. However, in the perspective of our country. The concept of a correctional institution is restricted to names. Although the social, economic, and cultural aspects of the country, as well as the type of the criminal, are strong factors in shaping the structure of the correctional institution, the absence of any real systematic approach considering rehabilitation to correctional facilities are deficient. Criminals in our nation return to society in some fashion, and if correctional facilities do not serve their function, total progress in this sector will always be small. The overall goal of my research would be to analyze the function of architecture in helping to uplift the correctional environment. To reach this goal, the research would reimagine the correctional institution from a rehabilitation perspective while also keeping the context of crime and offenders in our society in mind along with security.
