This article published in April of 2019 by Christophe Haubursin and Gina Barton discusses the Halden Prison in Norway. The Prison uses a campus design which allows inmates to be exposed to sunlight as they move throughout the day. They also mention how many other prisons are built with unappealing materials like steel and concrete, while Halden uses a myriad of windows.
Reflection:
By creating a more inviting environment, Halden Prison is a great template for how prisons should be designed and constructed. The U.S. should look into deigns like this to improve conditions within prisons.

This article posted in 2019 by Lindsay Samson continues on how Halden Prison is the most humane prison. The goal is to make the building feel as "normal" as possible for the inmates within.
Reflection:
By keeping inmates happy during their stay, the transition back to society becomes easier allowing for more productive citizens. However, the amenities such as a rock climbing wall and game room might be a bit excessive for criminals. ]]> 2022-10-20 16:26:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mrforrey211/gux74p7pvevq0qoz/wish/2349372368 mrforrey211 https://padlet.com/mrforrey211/gux74p7pvevq0qoz/wish/2349384673 Summary:
This article published in October 2020 by Christele Harrouk speaks on how the U.S. is finally accepting that the prison system is unjust. The American Institure of Architects of New York has taken action by no longer allowing “unjust, cruel or harmful spaces of incarceration within the current United States […] such as prisons, jails, detention centers, and police stations”. 
Reflection:
While U.S. prisons are still far from those in countries like Denmark and Sweden, actions are being taken to try to improve the new construction of incarceration centers. Architects will hopefully accept this new rule and help to create better environments. ]]> 2022-10-20 16:34:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mrforrey211/gux74p7pvevq0qoz/wish/2349384673 mrforrey211 https://padlet.com/mrforrey211/gux74p7pvevq0qoz/wish/2349388109 Summary:
In this article by Lynne Woodruff, she writes how and why prisons have been designed the way they are. Over the years, different designs have been introduced to change how inmates interact with the building. Past prisons' commonly include a center gathering area to allow guards to watch inmates from a centralized location. Today, with improved security, many prisons implement "direct supervision" where guards are more interactive with inmates.
Reflection: 
Today's prisons are still far from perfect, but they have come a long way. Past ideas were implemented solely to punish inmates, while today there is a focus on improving the quality of life, while maintaining a safe environment. ]]> 2022-10-20 16:36:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mrforrey211/gux74p7pvevq0qoz/wish/2349388109 mrforrey211 https://padlet.com/mrforrey211/gux74p7pvevq0qoz/wish/2385453330 Summary:
This article writes about the difficulty designing a prison can bring. 
Reflection:
Architects must try to create an efficient space to house inmates, all while trying to positively affect the psyche of those inside. This is easier said then done when taking into account budget and other outside factors. ]]> 2022-11-15 19:54:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mrforrey211/gux74p7pvevq0qoz/wish/2385453330 mrforrey211 https://padlet.com/mrforrey211/gux74p7pvevq0qoz/wish/2385479765 In this article by Rachael Slade, she finds several statistics on the U.S.'s prison system. The U.S. currently holds around 25% of the worlds inmate population.
Reflection:
That statistic shows just how important good design is in our prisons. There are millions of people that rely on said design.  ]]> 2022-11-15 20:12:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mrforrey211/gux74p7pvevq0qoz/wish/2385479765 mrforrey211 https://padlet.com/mrforrey211/gux74p7pvevq0qoz/wish/2385489982 Summary:
This article by Francesca Mercurio speaks on how prison design is largely based on a region's philosophical beliefs and policies. Some places run "correctional facilities" while others call their incarceration centers prisons. 
Reflection:
It is no coincidence Scandinavian countries have superior inmate structures. By not labeling them as a negative place, inmates are encouraged to come out better than before.

This article by Jerry Adler has some interesting points from another view. He writes "The problem of mass incarceration is a policy problem—it’s not at its root a design problem."
Reflection:
He brings up an interesting point. There is only so much an architect can solve with the design of a building.
