Firstly, I’d like to thank Mr. Clinton Osbourn who gave me a glimpse into the world of Pollsmoor prison by sharing his stories of what life was like working with the inmates of Pollsmoor during his time with Youth in Prison (YiP). Without you I would never have been able to kickstart my research. Thank you to all my supervisors (David Gibbs, Julian Raxworthy, Tarna Klitzner and Clinton Hindes) for your guidance, motivation and kind words from the very beginning till the end of this thesis. I truly appreciate the time you all took to review and offer sage advise during my process of completing this body of work. A special thanks must also be given to Tomá Berlanda, for lending an ear and for the kind words you offered. Thank you! Getting through a master’s degree is no easy feat, and it would not have been possible without the regular confidence boosts and motivational phone calls by my wonderful sister, Divya, and my dedicated and hardworking parents, Jojo and Suma.

The investigation is not only looking into the design of the enclosed prison blocks, but also to the environments surrounding them- looking into the healing of inmates, their visitors, the staff that engage with prisoners, and the residents who live within the Pollsmoor compound. The site takes on the qualities of a miniature “city”/ “village”, therefore the interventions proposed are those that encourage the healing of the Prisoners | Users | Environment. Spaces are known to have an effect on its users therefore creating rehabilitative, calming and educational spaces will assist in the process of rehabilitation of prisoners and other users within Prison City. 1 This page has intentionally been left blank 2 STUDY: PRECEDENT Re:Imagined 3 This page has intentionally been left blank 4 ABSTRACT: Study Rehabilitating the Prison System The prison system in South Africa is a harsh and ineffective system that emphasises the need to punish rather than rehabilitate and reintegrate the incarcerated back into society. Although a lot of prisons in South Africa host a number of workshops and activities which have been introduced to inmates for such purposes- the recidivism rates of offenders, that have ended up in the penal system, has failed to drop or decline. A Process of deconstruction and synthesis The method of this study is to analyse and deconstruct existing prison or correctional/ penitentiary/ rehabilitation institute landscapes into potential design components and then synthesise these into environments that can promote the rehabilitation of prisoners. The projects analysed are of international and South African origin, and are of prisons or mental and other high-security institutions. The analysed projects will be looked at as potential interventions that can be synthesised within the landscapes (rather, lack of landscapes) of Pollsmoor Prison in Cape Town. Looking into redesigning Pollsmoor Prison- a prison where conditions do not support opportunities for rehabilitation and integration and where bland, cold concrete and brick facades enclose inmates for mostly 23-hours a day. 5 List of Precedent Studies 1.

To make it a landscape that has colour, texture, shade and has views for prisoners to look into even when they be in their cells. The benefits of introducing naturalistic settings in any space offer significant stress reduction and improve mental state [Lindemuth, 2007]. By introducing green and seasonally changing landscape elements into the prison quads we’ve introduced to prisoners an access to views, which according to Moore (1981) and West (1986) has a beneficial impact on its viewers. The behavioural and psychological outlooks of both the inmates and staff involved in Moore and West’s studies could be measured according to the number of sick- calls to the infirmary. Fewer sick calls were made by inmates who had a higher percentage of visible access to naturalistic elements from the cells, and Spafford (1991) adds to this idea by suggesting that the view quality within a prison setting
