A medium-security correctional facility for males that implements a new system of incarceration by promoting rehabilitation through education and skill-building. Rather than regarding prisons simply as a means of punishment that might ensure ex-convicts have no future, this new system ensures the creation of new productive members of society. Introducing skylights & interior windows allow natural light into the space, and the use of sustainable materials & layers of color add character to the interiors. The overall design is meant to influence the inmates’ behavior, which is a crucial factor in facilitating rehabilitation.
