本章旨在传达为什么监狱的建筑和设计是一个完整和细致入微的理解“监狱研究”的关键。将监狱设计的历史和地理的角度来看，我们认为如何不断变化的刑事哲学已经表现在监狱建筑的形式和结构在过去的两个世纪。我们讨论了目前的政策背景下，在英国，新的监狱已建成在苏格兰，并正在计划为英格兰和威尔士和北方爱尔兰。我们认为，这代表了一个难得的机会，不仅要建立新的设施，是适合的目的，但重新评估他们的美学和空间设计可能会被动员起来，以支持一个不同的刑事司法模式，而不是自20世纪60年代的监狱建设的最后一个主要浪潮占主导地位。最后，我们认为监狱和社区之间的关系，他们所在的，并建议，最近建成的监狱是不低于社会的态度，罪犯比本顿维尔是在19世纪中期的一种表现。我们认为，从长远来看，通过人性化的监狱设计来影响公众舆论可能比根据公众期望的假设建造新监狱更有效。
This chapter seeks to convey why the architecture and design of prisons is pivotal to a full and nuanced understanding of ‘prison studies’. Placing prison design in historical and geographical perspectives, we consider how evolving penal philosophies have been manifested in the form and fabric of prison buildings over the last two centuries. We discuss the current policy context in the UK, as new prisons have been built in Scotland and are being planned for England & Wales and Northern Ireland. We argue that this represents a rare opportunity, not only to build new facilities that are fit-for-purpose, but to re-assess how their aesthetic and spatial design might be mobilized to support a different model of criminal justice than that which has dominated since the last major wave of prison construction in the 1960s. Finally, we consider the relationship between prisons and the communities in which they are situated, and suggest that recently built prisons are no less a manifestation of society’s attitudes to offenders than Pentonville was in the mid-1800s. We suggest that it may be more effective in the long term to influence public opinion through humane prison design than it is to build new prisons based on assumptions about public expectations.
