Juvenile Detention Design -
Rehabilitation System for Personal
Outreach Development                   

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Archeworks students continued researching penal institutions to determine if design can improve the lives of the detainees. In the efforts to improve the overall design quality of criminal justice system facilities, Archeworks students developed POD, Personal Outreach Development system, that motivates detainees by responding to different levels of need fullfillment, complimented by a rehabilitative spatial design. Through research, the team determined that rehabilitation and post-detention support are medoicre in most existing juvenile detention centers. The intent is to use the POD model as a catalyst for change becoming a means for society to rethink its current social problems.

A full scale mockup of the rehabilitative spatial design POD was built at Archeworks, which was the same square footage as a juvenile detention cell.
