Preferred term

high-rise prisons  

Definition

  • Various architectural styles have been employed in prison design, from the first radial cells of the Pennsylvania model to the recent innovations of new-generation prisons. Classic models such as the Auburn style and the telephone pole design provided the blueprint for most facilities built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
