Abstract
At least since the publication of Francesco Milizia’s (1785) Principj di Architettura Civile, it has been widely understood that the form and shape of a prison must go along with its purpose. Penal reformers from the 18th century believed that the only way for prison to work effectively as a deterrent against crime was by making the prison experience uncomfortable and unbearable. Accordingly, prisons have historically been built in ways that make the ‘pains of imprisonment’ (Sykes, 1958) an integral component of prison design. In their edited book Donne in carcere: Ricerche e progetti per Rebibbia (Women in prison: Research and projects for Rebibbia), Francesca Giofrè, Pisana Posocco, and colleagues forcefully remind us that such a carceral logic can and must be revisited.
