The Architecture of Incarceration

This volume looks at 20th-century developments in prison architecture in Britain, the United States and Europe from traditional aspects through to the "new generation" design.

High, medium and low security institutions are viewed within the framework of their architectural structure. The foreword is written by HM Inspector of Prisons, Judge Tumin, and essays are included by Leslie Fairweather and Professor Markus, among others.

A number of internationally known architects comment on the architecture of confinement and various illustrations of built and projected schemes are provided.
