VERTICAL PRISON: THE SECOND CHANCE
Timber, metal and plastic
300 x 300 x 900mm (H)
This project examines the possibility of creating a vertical prison in the sky where inmates will have to work and live in a community that will contribute to the host city below. The prison will have agricultural fields, factories, and recycling plants that will be operated by the inmates as a way to give back to the community. They will live “free” until they have completed their sentence and are prepared to rejoin their communities.
The vertical prison has its own transportation system which consists of different “pods” for officers, prisoners, firefighters, and other workers.
