Tamoanchan “The Mayan believed heaven to be a wonderful, magical place on Earth. They called this place Tamoanchan. Heaven, Earth, and Underworld were connected by the ‘world tree’. The world tree grew at the locus of creation, all things flowing out from that spot into four directions.” -Tree of life

Thesis Abstract

This thesis seeks to explore, through design how architects can enhance the process of rehabilitation within inmates of the carceral system using environmental and behavioral psychology to improve the experience and behavior of both inmates and staff. This design is following the principals of philosophers that believe and insist that the built environment that the inmates are housed in plays a huge role in the rehabilitation of inmates and the reintroduction to the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;real worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; after they are released. Designing a prison that believes losing ones freedom and being incarcerated is enough punishment and instead of further punishing the inmates, to rather try and aid them in their rehabilitation process. By designing spaces that are more open providing access to nature, and offer more direct sunlight. There has been scientifically proven research that shows how certain light, color, materials, texture, air quality and acoustics affect mental and physical well-being.

Dedication

This thesis is dedicated to the people who had no faith nor patience of perseverance and were blurred with the ideology of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;what is time.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Most importantly to the utmost supporting family in the world that never once doubted me and taught me to keep my head high, you know who you are. For that I say thank you, we did it.

Acknowledgements

I would like to appreciatively thank and acknowledge all my professors that have had the patience to bear with me and aid me in the progression of this degree. For enlightening me and passing on their learned skills and knowledge. To my family that has been there to encourage me when doubt set in and goals became blurry. To my friends and future colleagues I have had the honor to learn and grow with, we made it! Another milestone.

Set paths are not the human perception, cognition and behavior of the always followed and that is the beauty. You have to proposed occupants.

Thesis Statement This thesis seeks to explore, through design how architects can enhance the process of rehabilitation within inmates of the carceral system using environmental and behavioral psychology to improve the experience and behavior of both inmates and staff. The biggest issue with the current carceral system is the lack in rehabilitation. We seek to punish others when they do bad, but that’s just it punish and not try and correct or solve the problem at hand. We expect to incarcerate “criminals” to punish them and teach them a lesson. Make them regret or feel remorse for there wrong doings without any help in trying to find out why or how to aid in correcting the problem. We all know how the criminal justice system works and sets a certain time for the inmates to be punished. That is fine and is not the issue here. What is the big issue though is that the inmates are kept captive under harsh conditions and secluded from the real world. Most forget how to interact with the “Real world” or usually don’t have anywhere to go after their sentence is completed. The current carceral system is failing. It has been proven and shown numerous times to be unsuccessful. 67% of inmates return to be incarcerated within 3

years of being released and 76% within 5 years of being released. That is resulting in our carcerals to become overcrowded and over populated creating the current program to become a bigger failure as the program of certain spaces is taken away and forced to be used as housing. Thus, creating an unhygienic space that is uncared and not to mention resulting in unwatched inmates. The space they are provided is limited as is and by overcrowding it we are adding to the failure. This design is following the principals of philosophers that believe and insist that the built environment that the inmates are housed in plays a huge role in the rehabilitation of inmates and the reintroduction to the ‘real world’ after they are released. Designing a prison that believes losing ones freedom and being incarcerated is enough punishment and instead of further punishing the inmates, to rather try and aid them in their rehabilitation process. By designing spaces that are more open providing access to nature, and offer more direct sunlight. There has been scientifically proven research that shows how certain light, color, materials, texture, air quality and acoustics affect mental and physical well being.

Problem Statement

Problem Statement We have all been exposed to the criminal system of the United States, whether it has been through first hand experience or through some sort of media. Regardless, from day one we all know if you do something bad you go to jail. We widely see it being used in kid games. As far back as cops and robbers or even board games like monopoly. The ideology of doing something bad results in punishment has been brainwashed in our minds for years now. Punishment is the main factor or leading force to prevent us from doing bad, which I am not protesting or saying it’s necessarily a bad thing. The problem is what happens in these jails or prisons. We are very adamant and good at punishing our criminals, but we just leave it at that. We don’t pursue on trying to avoid the need to use these systems or forms of punishment. Since when did prisons become such a norm. If you break the law you will go to jail, if you do it again you will go to jail again, fear tactic. A fear tactic that may work for some, but its apparent it has not been working for everyone. Labeled a criminal and denned less worthy than the average person.

“If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.” - Albert Einstein

Hence, finding jobs become difficult and you begin to fall in the in-between crack of what is the ‘real world’. You are put into a system to fail. No way to overcome it because you are treated and seen as less. You can’t afford to get training to become a better individual or aid in helping the community when no one is willing to aid you. You are labeled a criminal, a danger to society and are too much of a risk to be around. Once you fall in this category what do you do? What do you do when you are unwanted by the world and can’t even get a job? You are not homeless looking for a handout, you are actually trying to make ends meet and contribute to society. Sadly it doesn’t happen like that, you are branded with stamp of being a criminal. Thus, resulting in the criminal to hate the world and feel left out. With no future, no where to turn, and no one willing to hire them they are forced into recidivism and fall back into our carceral systems, which are highly overcrowded and costing us money to support them.

How is this not just as bad as welfare? People constantly complain about people corrupting or taking advantage of welfare, well carceral system is just the same only difference is you don’t just offer them food, but also housing. We punish these inmates with no freedom, but when they are free they feel like they have no freedom. So the choice is clear either you stay in the carceral system where you know you will be feed 3 times a day and have a roof over your head or trying to making it on your own known as a criminal. Socially being in prison isn’t the best, but it’s better than nothing to some. The other option is be freed and set into the ‘real world’ where no one wants to hire you, no one trust you, and no one wants to give you a minute of there time once they find out you are a criminal. Choice seems pretty clear to me and is even more apparent in recidivism statistics.

Prison|History Walnut Street Jail 1790, Philadelphia Designed to be an area for inmates to reflect, but also designed to more hygienic and overall safer than previous prisons. Designed by Pennsylvania’s most prominent architect, Robert Smith. Walnut Street Jail was a typical U-shaped building, with the shear intent to hold large groups of prisoners in large rooms. However there was no thought or design for the inmates physical well-being, or any attempts to rehabilitation. Program: Rehabilitate prisoners, “Restore them” - Male offenders worked in shops (making shoes, clothes, and nails) - Females offenders (spun cotton, laundry, and mended clothes) - Solitary offenders were kept in confinements and given the Holy Bible. Later on in 1798 a school was opened that taught basic reading, writing, and math to inmates.

Prison|History Auburn Prison 1821, Auburn, New York Auburn Prison was built in 1818 and was the second state prison to be introduced in New York. 1890. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Auburn Systemâ&#x20AC;? was a correctional system in which prisoners were housed in solitary confinement in large rectangular buildings. There they were under silence that was enforced at all times. Solitary cells were five-tiered cell-blocks of two rows of single cells, placed back to back in the center of the building. Cells measured only 3.5 feet wide, 7.5 feet long, and 7 feet high. The doors faced the outer walls and were lined with grated windows that provided indirect light and air. Program: Silence corporal punishment, and congregate group labor - Solitary cells - Male inmates worked in congregate shops by day. - Females were relegated to an attic and excluded from regular work and exercise. Auburn became the model for prisons throughout the United States.

Prison|History Eastern State Penitentiary 1829, Philadelphia British-born architect John Haviland designed Eastern State Penitentiary. It included seven wings of individual cell blocks radiating from a central hub. The penitentiary opened in 1829, seven years before completion, but the institution proved to be a technological marvel at the time. It included central heating, flushable toilets, and shower baths in each private cell. At the time the penitentiary had amenities and luxuries that were not even seen at the White House.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thrown into solitude... [the prisoner] reflects. Placed alone, in view of his crime, he learns to hate it; and if his soul be not yet surfeited with crime, and thus have lost all taste for any thing better, it is in solitude, where remorse will come to assail him.... Can there be a combination Program: more powerful for reformation than that of a prison which Pennsylvania System of isolation and penitence hands over the prisoner to all the trials of solitude, leads - Inmates brought in with blinded with hoods over there head him through reflection to remorse, through religion to -Never see the prison beyond private cell hope; makes him industrious by the burden of idleness..â&#x20AC;? -Communication with guard was done through small feeding hole - Inmates lived in complete solitary confinements with only the Holy Bible. Eventually, solitude wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about redemption, but punishment.

-Alexis de Tocqueville

Prison|History Alcatraz 1933, San Francisco Alcatraz was given to the U.S. Justice Department from the army. For the shear purpose of housing a criminal population too difficult or dangerous to be handled or associated by any other U.S. penitentiaries. There was to be approximately one guard for every three prisoners and each prisoner had his own cell. “The prison system’s prison,” a place where the worst of the worst inmates could be sent. Program: The prison system’s prison - Isolated island from the mainland - Still viewable from the bay as a reminder - A place were the worst inmates would be sent - No successful escapes Operating cost were way too expensive. More than twice of any other prison at its time.

Precedent Case Studies

Precedents Las Colinas Detention Santee, CA This design is approaching more of a normative design. It is taking into account how Architecture can have an impact on the human psyche and overall well-being. Rather than focusing on punishment this prison has more of a focus on Re-entry. The key element is a normal treatment environment that feels more like a campus community. It provides lots of light color palettes, softer and more diverse materials as a pose to the typical hard cold concrete. Materials with the intention to provide better acoustics, and ample natural light with the ideology of it helping reduce some anger, stress, anxiety, sadness and depression. The Colinas is designed more so like a higher education campus. Rather than that of a central big secure building isolated from the world. It was designed to allow abundant amounts of light and be open to outdoor spaces divided by the different programs.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be beneficial to every man, woman and child in America, and harmful to no one, if we were to demolish every prison in this country and replace them with locked, safe and secure home-like residential communities what we might call an anti-prison. Such a community would be devoted to providing every form of therapy its residents needed (substance abuse treatment, psychotherapy, medical and dental care) and every form of education for which the residents were motivated and capable (from elementary school to college and graduate school).â&#x20AC;? -Dr. James Gilligan, M.D.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;A correctional facility should be integrated in the community to which the prisoner will be released, and blend with the surrounding area. Although a barrier to the outside world is necessary to maintain security, the aesthetic and environmental aim of the facility should deinstitutionalize the building and integrate it into the broader community by presenting a normalized, modern, citizen-oriented appearance and an appropriate scale.â&#x20AC;? -Dr. Marayca LĂłpez
