Mahkumların Yaşam Alanı Olarak Cezaevlerinde Tasarım Faktörleri

Traditional prison structures are generally security- and cost-oriented, often overlooking the human needs and psychological well-being of prisoners. This study approaches prison design not only as a security issue but also as a human rights and social policy concern. In particular, innovative prison architecture and flexible spatial planning in Europe aim to improve the quality of life for inmates. In this context, prison design factors are identified and their positive impacts on rehabilitation are examined. Innovative designs implemented in countries such as Norway, Denmark, and Iceland adopt a humane approach, in addition to fulfilling security and management functions. The aim of this study is to emphasize that prison design contributes not only to the physical structure but also to the psychological and social rehabilitation of prisoners.
