Do Prisons Help or Harm Rehabilitation? With Architect Roland Karthaus

This week on Life After Prison is the first episode of our brand new mini series!In this first episode, Jules speaks to Roland Karthaus. He’s an architect who’s looked a lot at prison design, and he’s interested in how the way prisons are built can either support rehabilitation or get in the way. She asks him about the role of rehabilitation in prison design, the cost of building new prisons versus investing in people, and what would need to change if rehabilitation really was the priority.This podcast is also available as a video – just search Life After Prison on YouTube. Useful organisations:Prison Reform Trust - The Prison Reform Trust works to make the UK’s prison system fairer, more humane, and more effective — reducing unnecessary imprisonment and improving conditions for people inside and their families.https://prisonreformtrust.org.uk/Howard League - The Howard League campaigns for less crime, safer communities, and fewer people in prison — promoting justice, rehabilitation, and second chances for everyone.https://howardleague.org/Frank’s episode - https://youtu.be/6dgNgfgKwQ0Tony’s episode - https://youtu.be/uReUvaobmH0Joel’s episode - https://youtu.be/kLW-71YjSN4Sobanan’s episode - https://youtu.be/kr7uO_zAPF8Contact us:If anything you’ve heard in this podcast has inspired you to make a positive change in your life, or you’d just like to get in touch, please contact us.💬 Socials: @afterprisonpod on Instagram and X, @lifeafterprison on TikTok📧 Email: podcasts@prison.radio✉️ Write: Life After Prison, National Prison Radio, HMP Brixton, London SW2 5XF🖥️ Website: https://lifeafterprisonpod.com/ Hosted on Acast.
