DESCRIPTION:What role does the built environment play in positively shapin
 g the experience of imprisonment and contributing to future desistance fro
 m offending? Can progressive\, humane architecture effectively challenge t
 he negative attitudes to prisoners that are sometimes held by prison servi
 ce personnel and society at large? Exaggerated claims about ‘good’ pri
 son design are frequently made by academics\, architects and journalists\,
  and some Nordic prisons are especially susceptible to being fetishized to
  a degree that elides their function as high-security establishments that 
 inflict harm. In this lecture\, Professor Yvonne Jewkes will relate two pe
 rsonal experiences of being part of teams planning and designing new priso
 ns in countries that might be characterised as socially and politically co
 nservative. The projects’ divergences\, however\, were more stark than t
 heir similarities\, and only one of the facilities is likely to turn out t
 o be an example of imaginative\, humane thinking in contemporary prison de
 sign\, even though both prisons were initially conceived as such. Where on
 e fell foul of a highly risk-averse and security-obsessed corrections cult
 ure\, the other has benefitted from a prison service prepared to take risk
 s and commission a design underpinned by research evidence and internation
 al best practice. In the lecture\, Yvonne will discuss how her ESRC-funded
  research sought to challenge not only conventional perspectives and pract
 ices in the planning and design process\, but also challenged prevailing o
 pinions among those who commission\, design and operate prisons about the 
 people who get sent to custody. \nSpeakers:\nProfessor Yvonne Jewkes (Univ
 ersity of Bath)
