PRISON TÁBOR

The aim of the design was to create a concept for a prison on the site of the Czech Prison Service at the former military airfield Všechov near Tábor. With respect for the local context and current social issues, the proposal seeks to challenge stereotypical notions of prisons and introduce a more humane approach to serving a sentence. The prison is seen not merely as a place of isolation, but as an environment for rehabilitation and a new beginning. Should we not strive to change the mindset and offer inmates a real opportunity for lasting reintegration into society? The design is inspired by the Scandinavian prison model, aiming to reduce the rate of recidivism in the Czech Republic.
