2. INTRODUCTION
• prisons are home to an estimated 10
million people globally and this number is
rising.These people are not necessarily
hardened criminals. In pakistan the
number of under trial prisioners is 37,861.
There are many issues of concern when
working with prison populations such as
access to legal services, prevention of
torture and justice system efficiency. But
also key is the design and construction of
the buildings where prisoners will spend
their time: the prison itself. Prison design
is crucial to creating an environment in
which prisoners can live and not become
institutionalised.
