ADPSR - Architects and Designers for Social Responsibility - has created a nationwide campaign asking that architects stop designing prisons. They reason that if architects won't design them, they won't get built, thereby forcing government to develop alternatives to incarceration. Is this approach in the best interest of our justice system including prisoners, their families, and the people that work in the system?
Hear a lively discussion between ADPSR's president, an architect who designs detention facilities, and San Francisco's own Sheriff Hennessey.
