innovation and evoLution

2:30 thinking inside the box – innovation in recent prison design

Prison architecture occurs in a closed setting, making the task of creating a ‘village’ a unique challenge. Looking at recent work by GBA and other prison architects internationally we will explore the results of applied innovation to the particular constraints of designing a prison.

Andrew Thomas, Senior Architect, Guymer Bailey

3:10 designing secure prisoner computer systems

Over the past few years many jurisdictions in Australia and internationally have been looking towards implementing computers for prisoners for inmate education and societal re-integration. This talk discusses what is needed to implement a Prisoner Interactive Learning

4:10 international approaches to the accommodation of indigenous prisoners

The high incarceration rate of people from Indigenous cultures is a world-wide phenomenon. The reasons for overrepresentation vary in detail and multiplicity across different contexts but there are commonalities. This paper examines the manner in which various countries have sought to accommodate the differing needs of Indigenous prisoners. It outlines the Native American religious practices and ceremonies allowed in US prisons and some of the struggles associated with exercising religious freedoms. The partnerships forged between US correctional agencies and American Indian agencies to allow prisoners to serve time on reservations are also discussed. These experiences are contrasted to the Canadian experience of the establishment of healing lodges and the integration of Aboriginal religious ceremonies into mainstream prisons. Australian experiences have been vastly different and this presentation outlines the various approaches including the recent construction of a prison to meet the needs of Aboriginal prisoners in West Kimberley. In response to the large numbers of Māori imprisoned, New Zealand developed the concept of Māori Focus Units, built on the premise that increased cultural knowledge reduces the criminal behaviour. The Māori Focus Units and Pacific Islander Units present unique responses to incarcerating Indigenous prisoners. Finally, the paper outlines the establishment of the first prison in Greenland to respond to needs of the Kalaallit peoples.

3:40 “people make the prison”: designing for human interaction

What does a ‘good’ prison look like? That depends on the aims that prison is supposed to achieve. Containment, deterrence, punishment, and rehabilitation are all competing objectives, a lived and political reality causing uncertainty amongst staff in particular. Prisoners however, are less uncertain. For them, people make the prison, irrespective of design and security levels, a contradiction that raises important questions as to whether a focus on static or dynamic security is to be preferred. This presentation will discuss the results from a recently completed study that included empirical research in 14 prisons at all security levels in Australia and Norway, as well as a previous study discussing the last 200 years of prison development in the Anglophone and Nordic countries, with a particular focus on different prison designs and their impact.
