- Description
- The aim of this study is to design a rehabilitation centre for parolees which will address the issues pertaining to the re-integration of ex-inmates into society reducing the chances of recidivism. It challenges the current methods and strategies implemented in correctional facilities in South Africa, their insufficiencies in rehabilitating criminals and preparing them for a return to society. A new solution to this social problem of crime and recidivism Is explored through this architectural thesis. This is achieved through providing an infrastructure with consistent methodologies that cater for unit operations using boot-camp rehabilitation, healthcare and vocational training provided all as a collaborative effort with the correctional services, municipal healthcare services and private N.G.O’s. An adaptive approach both in the program and architecture contributes to the objective of meaningful social re-integration. The research methodology implemented is a qualitative investigation, through the Interpretation of contemporary situations, various site visits, Interpretative sketches of existing structures, Technical analysis from firms. Interpretive and case study research is also used, as a background to the research body.
