Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the intersection of architecture and rehabilitation, Yvonne Jewkes examines how prison design can foster healing rather than punishment. As a criminologist, she advocates for environments that promote reflection and hope for inmates, while personally navigating the challenges of her own life during a tumultuous renovation. With 11.5 million prisoners worldwide, she poses thought-provoking questions about the impact of humane treatment on reintegration into society. Jewkes invites readers to reconsider the purpose of prisons and the role of compassionate design in shaping lives.
