INTRODUCTION

Prison is a facility in which inmates are forcibly confined and denied a variety of freedom under a authority. The project I have selected for my thesis topic is the district jail which has been designed and is being built in the society, at this time. The facilities will probably include following spaces; jail cell for adult men, office spaces, departmental spaces, kitchen facilities for prisoners and staffs, hospital facilities etc. Prison are the most commonly used within a criminal justice system, people changed may be imprisoned until they are brought to trial; those pleading or being found guilty of crime at trial may be sentenced to a specify period of imprisonment. “people always think about what a prison is. What prison really is.- it‖s not physical challenge, it‖s mental:”

WHY JAIL?.... I have selected ―PRISON‖ problem for the following reasons; The environment of the district jail is a critical environment and will demands great sensitivity to the emotions of persons directly involve with the facility. The facility is relatively small, set extremely complex, the district jail will have wide range of spaces sizes and space activities and furthermore the relation between the space activities should be UN usually complex and problematic. In addition to the complexity of the spaces and the activities there is considerable equipment such as security equipment the communication equipment.

The problem of design district jail implies more than just the obvious architectural consideration. It implies the examination of a serious social problem. And it is inspired by hypothetical thinking of my mind for jail, frankly saying that inspired by movies & serials like, shashawnk redemption, escape plan, prison break, quantico, badlapur etc.

THE CONCEPT

ENHANCING PRISON DESIGN BY, TRETING INMATES AT PHYSICAL AND SUB – CONSCIOUS LEVEL, KEEPING IN MIND CIRCULATION AND SECURITY MEASURES.

Physical attribute includes ---rehabilitation by treating and learning Sub-conscious level includes—psychologically at micro level.

VARIABLE IDENTIFIED1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Monotonous environment Isolation from society Over-crowding Segregation from nature Mental pressure Psychological effects Age and sex segregation Special differentiation of spaces.

COULD BE SOLVED BYLandscape design (incorporating nature) Removing rigidity from design(removing monotony) Segregation in small groups Social interaction Color therapy Rehabilitation of prisoners Teaching and educating prisoners. LANDSCAPE Since landscape could act as link of those inmates toward nature. This help in healing and treating sub-consciously. Here we can enhance a space using the small shrub and tree by effecting the inmates on their senses i.e, touch smell, hearing and vision. Creating garden likebutterfly garden which attract butterflies, birds etc.
