TH26 Exploring Prisons as a Design, Ethical, and Social Policy Issue

Moderator: Beverly J. Prior, AIA, Beverly Prior Architects, San Francisco
Frank J. Greene, AIA, RicciGreene Associates, New York City
Raphael Sperry, Architects/Designers/Planners for Social Responsibility, San Francisco
Jeanne Woodford, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Sacramento

      Engage in the challenging ethical and social policy discussion-are architects who design prisons compounding rampant prison system growth or supporting the development of safe and humane detention environments?

Learning objectives:

  • Engage in challenging social policy discussions where there are no clear answers
  • Explore prison trends in the United States and the challenge facing sheriff's departments and correctional institutions as mandatory sentences become public policy
  • Identify problems with past prison design and the many advances in the development of safe, humane, and efficient detention facility design.
