The new prison design signals the end of ‘gallery’ prisons.The new design will have much smaller, 20 person spurs with a much more domestic atmosphere.

The spurs are arranged in ’T’ shapes, creating outdoor courtyard spaces with plants.Green spaces offer opportunities for both leisure activities and vital employment to prisoners, encouraging them to value their environment.. Barless windows that do not open and have integrated ventilation grills.This type of glazing provides comparable security without the need for bars addressing specific security threats, preventing waste being thrown from windows and reducing noise spreading beyond the prison wall.. Social interaction between staff and prisoners is key to rehabilitation.

Victorian-style gallery blocks with a warden’s desk at one end have been abandoned in favour of a staff station placed more centrally, in a way that encourages interaction rather than observation.. Main, central functions like dining, exercise equipment and access to medical care have been broken up and placed in each house block.Each block can contain a kitchen for communal cooking, classrooms, cardio gym equipment, a medicine point and laundry services, to create an environment more conducive to rehabilitation..

The prisons are designed with the ability to fine-tune security.

The design allows operators the flexibility to use different houseblocks to ‘upgrade’ and ‘downgrade’ security as needed,to accommodate prisoners with different needs.. Current status.Adrian La Porta.
