It is important to explore the practical implications of an ethically designed prison. Alongside securing humane & just prison environments, prisons should also contribute to the realization of other correctional aims like rehabilitation, safety, & successful reintegration.
Correctional staff may considerably benefit from ethically designed prisons, so they are not being asked to do “impossible work in impossible conditions”. Still, corrections budgets are often tight, & what is most effective to invest in needs careful evidence-driven assessment.
The 'ethical architecture' concept aims to move closer toward deeper assessments of prison architecture’s impacts on lived experiences.
Some countries, like Norway, have already carefully considered the purpose of prison & its consequent architecture.
